Noticed this Facebook post by Bangkok Immigration/Immigraiton Division 1, from earlier today, which appears to imply that for certain services, an appointment may be mandatory/required.

???? Starting from July 19th 2021 onwards
???? Queue Online of Immigration Division 1 http://203.151.166.132/immigrant_queue/booking/
????Note: For other services, you can walk-in as usual.

Please show up before appointed time at least 15 minutes and have all forms/documents ready.

 

How can one have all the forms/documents ready when they can ask for other documents not on the basic official list?

Interesting that they list Certificate of Residence under CW given that they are currently done at MTT.  Maybe that's changing back too.

That is for those on permanent residency. Note is also says endorsement that is only for them as well.

So just made an online appointment for my 90 day report at MTT.

 

After filling it all in with the pertinent info requested and click finish it states to check your email inbox for the appointment receipt or text.

 

Well there is nothing sent to my email address, neither in the inbox nor the junk mail folder, and no text received to the phone number provided.

What about the spam folder. Or is that what you are calling junk mail.

Given that immigration systems are frequently offline, and the new online appointment system appears to have no backup, I would recommend people plan their visits to Immigration well in advance.

Or the ever-so popular "misunderstanding".

Make another appointment and take a screenshot of your booking after you click finish.

I got the email, booked in case online isn't working by the the time mine's due, but I need a residence certificate for driving licence renewal (provided DLTs stay open) too so may end up going anyway, particularly as it seems after making a report with a new passport some seem to be unable to use Online.  I didn't get any SMS though, didn't with my last appointment there either.

Ah yes, damn, wishful thinking on my part ????

This seems like good news, in that ext stay/marriage candidates can now make an appointment.

That would have been an excellent opportunity to finally set up a domain and SSL certificate for the appointment website. To restore confidence after the leak. ????

Great news.  It's so much better having an appointment, rather than having to spend all day there.

I am nonplussed at how they insist on having my email, and BTW who can remeber the mericfully scrapped biodata form they tried on, where they asked for your social media accounts, licesnse plate, freaking star sign, wether your girl had a brazilian, etc. 

 

They get rather annoyed if that email is not jotted down on the tired old annual begging application they cant be bothered updating to the 21st century in its 21st year, and that the termites will eat come the next rains.

 

SO WHY CAN'T THEY SEND US A DAMN EMAIL! 

 

Thailand - four point zilch.

I dont see anything unusual, it seems that everything is not working as it was designed not to.

At least they fail unfailingly.

when you do an online appointment for 90 day reporting?What counter do you use at MTT as you have a drop down choice of counters A-1 to A-5

Pretty sure for appointment you are given B ticket #. When you get to the queue ticket desk you need to state that you have an appointment, and will be given B#. You basically walk straight in.

No appointment your given A# and your # is called at some point to file to desk entry and wait. The A# are called perhaps 10 at a time.

Thanks, when I did my last 90 day report I had an appointment and I did get directed to B counter number at the queue ticket desk.

I will be making appointment if I ever go in person again. I'm addicted to mail in reports every since my online method walked out on me.

 

Just a heads up for folk also obtaining a residence certificate after the 90 report.

Once you have done your 90 report you cannot go straight to desk for RC (located just behind B desks). You go back out to queue ticket lady and get a new ticket #. Don't worry after she gives you ticket go straight back to office. RC has no queue.

Oh you will still spend all day there but the main thing is you will have an appointment.

I used the appointment system last year and this year and found it a big improvement over showing up early and waiting around for hours, so in theory I don't have a problem with this idea. But I, like many people, normally get a reentry permit immediately after the new extension, and there is currently no way to book appointments for both extension and reentry on the same day - I wonder whether they plan to address this.

There have been reports of it taking about 15 minutes to get the re-entry permit since not many people are applying for them due to the covid 19 travel restrictions.

Re-entry permits have this appointment system but sure it is working now. Been hoping somebody would try it. Link: https://extranet.immigration.go.th/qrepsonline/online/queue/REPSAction.do?cmd=term

IME, it doesn't matter. Just choose one with a desired time-slot open. I think I chose A-3 recently, email said Counter B-1, with a unique booking number.

 

email comes from [email protected], and turns up in my Promotions tab in gmail.

 

Site has been reported as leaky.

Saw a report that using the https link and accepting the warning may prevent the leak?

I mean you could:

 

book an appointment immediately after getting your ext stay, on your phone, or

 

walk over to the ticket desk, or re-entry permit area and ask if you can get a re-entry permit.

YMMV.
