But now an opportunity for agents to charge extra for "que Omicron danger time".... ???????? Last year my agent sent me on a bike-taxi to Immigration for my picture to be taken. Someone from inside took my picture from a window while I was standing on a trash heap outside at the rear of the building. At the same time the taxi boy handed over a heap of passports (through the small window). 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody was babbling or trying to be super smart. They were just being helpful. Really? Quote 2 holidays last week pretty dumb to show up today sounds like poor planning. or: Quote because all the geniuses go on Monday I guess ? it's hard for a genius to improve when so old... Very helpful indeed ???? The "helpful" "assumptions on previous patterns" were proven wrong, as you can easily see at the pictures of other days.

You weren't being cheated or mislead. A very reasonable explanation based on past experience was provided. It transpires a new queueing system has been introduced combined with other external factors. Calm down. You have no reason to be so wound up. lol Edited January 4, 2022 by The Hammer2021 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Hammer2021 Posted January 4, 2022 Author Share Posted January 4, 2022 Although the queue looks large the 90 day report were being done in batches on the right. Basically it means 90 day reporters don't have to enter the confined space of the office. But how long did 90 day reports take that day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear you. I usually get my stuff done really quickly. A 90 day report in a few minutes. I have never seen such a queue before. I think they are keeping more people outside to stop them waiting inside the office for health reasons 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The queue for non 90 day business looked long at 2.15. A mobile toilet unit parked on the road is never a good sign. There were some hot tempers on show, an elderley American chap looked at the end of his tether. Tough times for many. The staff sure earn their money; I wouldn't want their job. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kinyara Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 (edited) For the guys still doing their 90 days in person at Jomtien, which I've always done, I decided to try and switch to the updated online system the other day and it went without a hitch. A few minutes set-up with an instant successful registration confirmation and application pending email. Then evening of the same day I got back another email with the new 90 day slip. You can do it up to 14 days before expiry of your 90 day due date which I did in case of any initial hitches/delays, but as I say it was done and dusted same day. I'd recommend it now.

Is the old one still working, where no registration is required? Simply fill in a load of details and get instant approval and print off your own slip? Never had much faith in using emails here......

No idea sorry, I'd never tried online before but the current situation plus the positive reports of the new update I read in the Visa section persuaded me.

goldmagpie Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 I was there that day. TM-30. One motorbike taxi guy was right in front. And I've seen others later. And I saw someone handing several passports over. I would have used the online system, but ran out of time to get a user approved with the right documents submitted. I braved the queues one more time, but now I'm not doing it anymore. The agent brought me to a place where she could get the facade of immigration behind me in the photo of me. Apparently it was important to prove I'd been there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
