Mine refuses to accept online and mailed in reports(and not coincidentally demands a bribe to accept them in person). Thank you and your situation is a bummer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine refuses to accept online and mailed in reports(and not coincidentally demands a bribe to accept them in person). That's amazing. I can't see someone being efficient in my local office. The corruption seems to seep into every crevice. How is it that it doesn't warrant more attention? Is the news media told what to report on? I suspect this has been the case for the last 10 years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They get electronic notification and at most they just click on"accept" or the equivalent. Possibly not even that, might be an opt out notice. What is really bad about the situation in my province is that almost all theforeigners are migrant workers ftom Cambodia and Myanmar working at or below minimum wage. Between the requirement that they attend in person (missing anywhere from a half to full day work and wages depending on where in the province they work) and the 100 baht bribe demanded, they lose a full days wages or more each time. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, you find the name and rank of the officer on the approval (Thai script). And no, they go to your office. I usually wait one or two working days for approval. Once approval was done on a Sunday Saturday, Seems to me some on duty officer had time to waste and went through 90 day reports.

Your assumptions are wrong. This is from my last approval. On the left the rank (Police Captain) of the (female) officer, on the right is Immigration Police Khon Kaen.

ripstanley Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 My last online 90 day report was pending. On the 6th day I had a reminder to do my 90 day report. The next day I went to my local office and asked why the reminder when it was pending. The officer told me 2 different offices. She then went to a different computer terminal and approved it.

The location is in the section at the top of the receipt, which you have conveniently edited out. Don't feed the troll.

In the past it has taken around 3 to 4 hours. This is via Jomtien. Just asking? Is that for the online confirmation of the application being received or the actual approval? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chongalulu Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 On 4/28/2023 at 11:49 AM, AndyAndyAndy said: One thing to be mindful of is if doing your report circa 15 days before due date (assuming approved within 2 days) your next 90 day report is due from that date ,not 90 days from the original due date . Given the online reporting has worked seamlessly for me since the new website this effectively doesn’t matter so I always report the full 15 days beforehand to cover eventualities, so"loosing" 15 days each time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dickp Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 I did mine on line for the last two + years, before that I mailed it in to CW, now my last report sent 25 April approved 28 April 4 days. Before it average 2 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mokwit Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 So by post is it 15-7 days before or does it have to be 15 or more days before? Ccan't remember - thinking of doing by post as a backup, but if I am wrong on my postage date they might reject it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OJAS Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 1 hour ago, brewsterbudgen said: By post it needs to be sent 15 days before. It's certainly true that a snail mail report needs to be received by no later than 15 days before the due date in the case of Chaengwattana. But a snail report I sent to my local office (Rayong - which I gather is also now yours!) a couple of years ago was duly processed despite it not being received there until 11 days before the due date. I have always been under the impression that acceptable time frame for the receipt of snail reports at local offices is 7-15 days before the due date. But requirements can (and do), of course, vary between individual offices in practice! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, you only do a TM47 if you've been in the Kingdom continuously for 90 days. If you leave for an overseas trip then the 90 clock resets. When you come back to Thailand then the clock starts again on the day you return. They don't give you a report date at the airport, you have to work it out yourself. An online date calculator can help with this, just add 89 days to the date of your return to Thailand.

DrJack54 Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 8 minutes ago, ubonrthai said: Can I go ahead and report online while overseas? No. 90 day report date becomes irrelevant upon leaving Thailand. Ignore any report reminder. When you reenter your clock restarts and your new due date is 90 days from reenter date. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
