Popular Post chai333 Posted December 8, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 8, 2022 Despite posts on this forum about how easy & fast the on-line 90 day report is via https://tm47.immigration.go.th/tm47/#/login It is just more typical Immigration garbage The auto fill form makes no provision to complete:- 1 ”Written at” 2 Cross in the visa type box 3 Arrival Card No (which I do have – no need to tell me it is unnecessary) 4 How on earth do you sign it? Or is the signature space they auto-fill with your written name OK? Checked their instruction video. The very end shows (a very quick flash of) a form with these glitches Tried to check why status is still “pending” into the 3rd day – yes 3rd day for all those lucky people who say theirs is approved in minutes. Called the number on their instruction website 02 141 7881 No Answer Called 1178 Waited forever & gave up Called 1111 Some women with the worst English gave me gibberish and “no I can’t check” and “have to wait for 3 days” I wonder could this delay be part of the latest and greatest crackdown on all those horrible criminal farangs who are wanted but NOT! Any helpful comments on form filling items 1 to 4 for my next attempt appreciated. Othewise this is just info for members who may be affected. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ubonjoe Posted December 8, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 8, 2022 The TM47 you get after you do the application has spaces for them but they are not needed to do the application. Been the same since the site became available a year ago. Did mine on Tuesday afternoon and received the receipt for it about 9 o'clock yesterday morning. 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post worgeordie Posted December 8, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 8, 2022 It works perfectly for me ,I think people blaming the system need to look at what they are doing more carefully , as it's most likely their fault ,you cannot use it with VPN , use the drop down menu , don't fill in yourself, They even email you before letting you know a report is due,and email you when it has been approved ,excellent service compared to the past. regards worgeordie 8 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many farang live in Phitsanulok. Easy access to immigration is in the main not typical.

Popular Post Skeptic7 Posted December 9, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 9, 2022 Have read of some having problems with it, initially anyway, but seems very few. Has worked perfectly for me since it's inception a year ago. Just did most recent 2 days ago at 0818 and got approval at 1256, under 5 hours. Even tho immigration is only a 5 min walk and can be seen from my lanai, I just do online. Quick & easy from the comfort of home. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used the online system in the past, but it has not worked for me since the last time I entered the country in 2018. At Jomtien immigration they first said online only works after one has done the first 90 day in person. The next time they issued a new arrival card number but that didn't work either. I have asked about it a few times, and tried it on each "new" version of their online system then gave up. Any suggestion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much better than the old one and even the mobile app. There is no space for the TM6 number on it. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pattaya1234was Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 I did my 90-day report on line this week-for the 5th time. I use the 'idiots" guide found on Google, namely thailand .acclaim.com. I was concerned that I may have a problem as I returned to Thailand a couple of weeks before my 90-day report was due. When I received my reminder I followed the advice of "Ubon Joe" and ignored the reminder. This week I simply filled in my recent re-entry date and got approval within 24 hours. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Rambo Posted December 9, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 9, 2022 Have to say the online system has worked perfectly for me. On 5th December received email from Immigration advising next report due. Duly submitted completed form the same day and Immigration confirmed it had been received. On 8th December received email confirmation that the application was approved. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post renaissanc Posted December 9, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 9, 2022 The new website is so easy to work with and takes hardly any time. Perhaps chai333 is using an old Immigration website for the 90 Days renewal. I even get a reply of acknowledgement within an hour or so, depending on the time of day, and the confirmation of renewal the next day at the latest. I wish the same could happen with the renewal of a Marriage Visa. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kwaibill Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 It irritates me that there is no provision to fill out a few items, but I just fill in what I can and after a few days get an online approval. Done it several times now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

portlandtree Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 Who cares how long it takes to approve and letting you know, what matters is the minute you submitted it, even if it goes 2 weeks past the due date to send you an approval you’re fine. Oh I’ve been doing it online for 3+ years no problem east 5 mins. or less 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You only need to do that every time you need a new passport, which IIRC is once every 10 years, followed by a trip to VFS in Bangkok. Have you lost the facility of handwriting over the years you have been here? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The IO is 5 km out of town and a 90 day report generally takes about 5 minutes. My marriage extension took a couple of hours as I had forgotten the bank guarantee letter and had to go back into KPP to get it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of your list the only thing that requires a "in person" trip to immigration is annual extension. 90 day report can be done online (2 minutes or less autofill) Via mail slightly longer. Both online and mail can be lodged from anywhere in Thailand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it takes 30 minutes including travel each way, that would be 10 minutes a month or less than 30 seconds a day. I am sure that I won't miss the time I spend in my busy life as a 78 year old. Especially as my wife will do the driving and humping of the bulk shopping. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoDisplayName Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 Just did a first 90-day report online, two weeks before due date. Took about five minutes after figuring out how the dropdown menus work. Submitted and got an email TM-47 confirmation within a few minutes. Current status is pending. If no joy in a week or ten days, I can brave the one hour drive to Korat immigration. Make a day of it and visit the hot spots: DoHome, Home Pro, Global House. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
