Chiangrai Immigration Beware

[Thomas74]

Yesterday Went to get approval  of marriage visa which was stamped and handed back to my wife i checked and disovered that my wife had not handed in reentry permit application  so we handed it in and got the 3 photocopies required and before the passport was handed back they started to ask about previous 90 day report

I  Told them they did not query it earlier and that i was there 30 days ago for the application  and that the next one should start from today

They said no ands being there 30 days ago was not relevant and asked for another 2,000 which my wife gave the older ladyr

When the recieipt for payment was made it only showed  1,000 for re entry and no reference to 90 day reporting

which obviously went in to some ones pocket

A Nice little earner at only one per day but probably more

You need to learn the requirements for 90 day report what you posted here about it makes no sense.

Missing a 90 day report is a fairly big deal, always has been.

Always been up to you to remember when to do it.

Lucky to get away with a 2k fine IMHO.

I just had a good experience at immigration. It took all of 2 minutes to do my 90 day report.

Exactly my experience, under 2 minutes at Chiang Rai Immigration earlier this week.

Went today for 90 day report. Arrived 10:30, place was empty, no customers. Done in 2 minutes, lovely. Had friendly chat with the staff. They don't forget.

We were there this morning to do the TM30 and get the online reporting sorted.  The guy near the door was free and helped us out.  Went to the restroom and when we came back he was finished.  Now we can do the report online.

My last entry to Thailand was Sep 2012. So I cannot do 90 day on line as I am not in the system. I believe I have to exit and enter again to get into the system.
