11 pages for 90 days report

[poppysdad]

Yes, you read correct and it’s no April fools joke. 
Having lived in Hua Hin for 15 years the most I ever needed was the form and in the past 2 years not even that as I either did it online or at Bluport with just my passport. 
90 days ago I did my first 90 days in my new province and filled in the form just in case they needed it and was shocked when they sent my lady out to get all my passport pages copied.  

Today was due again, could have tried online but as I knew immi had recently moved to a new place I decided on a personal visit. To be on the safe side this time I copied all my stamped pages plus tm 28 plus arrivals card plus the recent 90 day slip - 11 pages including the form. 
The new office is very nice, I was seen immediately and handed over the lot. The officer flicked through the lot without comparing with my passport and then with a look of complete satisfaction on his face simply stapled the whole lot together and printed out my new report and wished me a nice day. He was friendly and I almost asked him where they stored all this paperwork but just smiled at him and said much paperwork today which brought another smile to his face.

At least he smiled at you and even wished you a nice day. A lot of the offices just grunt at you and expect you to somehow Dixon her what they are saying by the size and length kf the grunt ???? Hua hin is great, takes less than a minute or 2 to get stamped and wai’d.

Hopefully ur hunderds and hundreds of signed copies are completely safe.????

[rwill]

Perhaps you should have just handed them the form and passport with 90 receipt and seen what happened first.

This is normal in my immigration

[Bert got kinky]

 

Many moons ago (in the late 90s) these photocopies ended up as a wrapping for food bought off street vendors.

Quite a few times I have bought deep fried bananas to find that the paper at the bottom of the bag was a xerox of someones passport or ID card.

 

I presume that this practice has now stopped.

 

[DUNROAMIN]

Yeah, I work on a rheem of paper every year for Immigration. Thailand is about 20 years behind in the computer data collection age.

[SomchaiCNX]

I asked the same question once in CNX and she told me they store at the municipality (Amphur Muang) on the way to Mae Rim. Did my last 90 day on Monday with a filled in new form, the old form and my passport. 

 

[bunnydrops]

They used to except my printing of the two pages of my open PP on each page. Now its each page separate. Twenty-one pages, just for the pp.

In Chiang Rai you just hand them your passport, and you are back out in about 1 minute time.

They recycle them, got a copy of your extension on the back of my 90 day receipt, which was made for a Chinese lady.

Yeah understand entirely!  I have been doing my reports for almost 20 years.  Since 2015 I(or the year when embassy letter was stopped) I have gone to the monthly deposit method and after the first year when they kept asking for additional documentation, I began providing them with a book each year, including yearly letter from my retirement office stating what I get each month, etc, a copy of the deposit from that office into my stateside bank acct, a monthly report of deposit of said funds into my stateside acct, my wire transfer request for each month, my Thai bank monthly report of transfer of funds from overseas, the two yearly reports fm my Thai bank showing the 12 monthly reports as well as the acct being mine only, plus a copy of every page of my local bank book updated on the day I go to immigration. When I gave that "book" to the IO, he laughed and said "wow very many documents!"  I laughed too and requested he advise me if he needed more.  He just laughed and 20 minutes later I was out the door waiting for the next year.   I print all these on my printer so cost is minimal especially since there is no hassle from the IO.

He is posting about the 90 day report. Why are you referring to an extension of stay renewal. The 2 are completely different.

[CM Dad]

This is yet another reason why I changed to using an agent after doing everything myself for more than 25 years.  Now I only go to Immigration once each year for my extension at my appointed time.  I smile, have my photo taken for their computer, sign my name a few more times then leave.  The entire process lasts about 10 to 15 minutes.  I just got tired of dealing with the whole hassle of numerous visits, so turning everything over to an agent for slightly less than 10,000 baht a year is a pleasure.

I went to do my 90 day report a couple of weeks ago in Jomtien, filled out my TM47, made sure that the TM6 was in the passport together with the receipt from the last 90 day report.

At Jomtien they now have a separate queue for the 90 day reporting, you hand in your passport to an officer receive a number and take a seat in a tent, with fans blowing to keep you cool.

An officer takes everything inside and a short while after a pile of passports return, your number is called, you collect your passport, check all is done and you are on your way.

This time I had a nice surprise, the officer that I handed in my passport and paperwork to, looked at the receipt from my last 90 day report, she saw it had a bar code on it, she handed me back the TM47 and said this is not needed because you have the bar code.

Certainly seems like things are getting simpler, however, I have Thai Elite visa, not retirement, so I don’t know if it makes a difference.

About 12 years ago I sold my Buell to a foreigner from Bangkok.

The DLT ask for a copy of every used page of my passport.

I had to copy 60 pages of my 64 page passport and send to him so he could transfer the bike into his name.

The Jobby jobsworths no wonder they dress in brown. And need so much paper to make them go away.

I "spoiled" the back of my forms, with a line drawn thru it. If they noticed it I could see they don't like it, but they've yet to cause a fuss. 

I cannot believe they do not accept double sided printing. They are an embarrassment to common sense and modernity.

[worrab]

I find this quite amazing but not surprising with some of the Offices you read about. I walk into Immigration at Dan Singkorn with just my passport and the last 90 day report slip. They take out the old slip, print off the next report date, staple in and done within 2 minutes. I love living in Prachuap Khiri Khan with some of the best IOs in the country.

Koh Chang sub-office; hand over passport, wait 3 min, passport returned with new slip, not even asked to sign.
