Popular Post statman78 Posted May 15, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 15, 2022 I just looked opened my email inbox and saw a message from Thai Immigration. It was a friendly reminder that my 90 day report is due 30 May and I can either submit my 90;day report online or I can stop by my local office. I used the new system for the first time when I did my last 90 day report. It is good to see that Thai Immigration is becoming a little more user friendly. I must admit that The Chiang Rai IO has always been easy to deal with. 11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Caldera Posted May 15, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 15, 2022 Just imagine they'd really get their act together and abolished 90-day reports altogether. How much time that would save everyone! 16 1 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, immigration being able to send emails in 2022 is BRILLIANT. And from a real email address [email protected], and not some yahoo email account. And it doesn't end up in the Spam folder. Just goes to show how easy it is to exceed expectations when an email sparks so many topic creations here. Stockholm Syndrome? 4 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ONE thing I have control over with the 90-day reporting is knowing WHEN my next report is due; it's printed on the Receipt of Notification form. Receiving an email, is well, superfluous for me. For some here it seems like the thai-equivalent of the moon landing. Now receiving information in a Rejection email, about why it was rejected, might actually be useful. Yes, I will stipulate that this newest system is a significant improvement, over the first system launched some 6-ish years ago. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because it comes from the same address as your notification email from 3 months ago. And you'd have been watching out for that and made sure the address was tagged 'not junk'. ???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That means, watching where they stay (by reporting)? That was the intention of IMO!!! What a laughing stock. Just those criminals would like to report their location ???

lungbing Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 I live near my local immigration office in Khon Kaen. I like to go there to do my 90 day report because when I go there for my visa extension they might remember me as a regular who turns up on time and is polite to them during the year. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Confuscious Posted May 16, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 16, 2022 After 20 years in Thailand, dealing with immogration several times per year, I came to the conclusion that it's better and 100% sure to let an agent handle your Visa or other requirements at Immigration. No need to harvest 800,000 Baht in a Thai Bank. No need to pay for an expensive and useless Health Insurance. Just play the game like Immigration wants it. Go to an agent, give him/her your passport and pay the price. VISA GUARANTEED AND NO DEALING WITH THE B......T OF IMMIGRATION!!!!!! 5 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never had to keep 800,000 Baht in the bank (or anything like it) Never had to buy expensive health insurance. (nor could I at my age) Always complied with the wishes of immigration. (it's no hardship Whatsoever) Never paid the exorbitant fees required by agents (just 1,900 Baht to immigration) Extension guaranteed on every occasion and always with a friendly smile.

Admiral Hornblower Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Unfortunately a 90 day report in person and a 90 day report online do not appear to be linked. Having successfully reported online in January, I renewed my visa based on retirement in March and was given a new 90 day extension, valid 'til June. I still, however, received the"polite reminder" to renew my 90 day extension online in April based on my previous online renewal in January. So, they haven't quite got it together yet!

"Baby steps" is what another member here says we should expect. The general consensus here is that you should ignore the reminder and file -14 online with your June date.

ChrisKC Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 We live in the real world. It has been easy for many years to set up automatically and at last it has been done - better late than never. In this real world, even the best of us sometimes forget our responsibilities and important dates to remember. I give credit to those who know this and try to help us with a system that doesn't require anybody in large organisations to do anything except set it up in the first place. My agent frames these notifications as "friendly reminders" closer to the point in time when action now or sooner is needed. I find this useful. I have a busy life and I appreciate others care about that; they are "on the ball" when maybe I might have lost track a bit. Accept them in good faith and say to yourself, thank you, as it happens, I hadn't forgotten! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I done the 90 day online twice and did report 14 day before due date ,Lost twice 14 days so I got 76 days not 90. It doesn't matter because we can do the online at home.
