Yesterday I did my 90 days report there. Into the office, get a queue number. I had the form filled already (PDF from the net), so I just sat down. 5 others in front of me, 2 counters open. After about 5 minutes later it was my turn, and just one minute later everything was done. The officer even removed the lot of old staples from the last passport page and fitted the new receipt in properly, so it is not standing out and getting messy. Great and efficient service. If only I would not have to drive about 90 minutes to Korat and 90 minutes back...

Have you tried doing the report on line.  That is how I do it and I save about a 90 minute drive each way.

Unfortunately a lot of people (those actually living here full time) do not have that option - as the database only includes recent arrivals and there is no way to update without leaving Thailand.?

I’ve been living in Thailand full time for fourteen years now and I do my 90 day reports on line.

You are saying you have not exited/returned to Thailand in those 14 years?  Suspect you have; but would be very happy to learn older entries have been entered into the database.

But you have left and re-entered the country since 2013 when the database for online reporting was set up and you have not gotten a new passport since that last entry.

I cannot do online reporting since my last entry was prior to 2013 and I have also gotten a new passport. Immigration suggested I do a border hop for a new entry if I wanted to do online reports.

That certainly has not happened. Same for entering a new passport number for the most recent entry.

You could do them by mail. I am sure that Korat immigration accepts them now.

You don't need to fill out a form (TM 47) for 90 day report.

You should try and link up with some other farang living near you as yous then can alternate the trip. Anyone can do your 90 day report. Even a Thai.

Ah, ok, yes I have been in and out a couple of times, apologies for I misunderstood.
