Online Report . Room number.

[DrJack54]

Just when you thought there cannot be another online report question ....

So previous 4 online reports (CW) No problem.

Sat 29 filed my most recent attempt. 

I use autofill.

What can go wrong I can hear you ask.

Today application rejected.

At least reason was given.

No Room number.

Previously not required.

So the fields are confusing.

My condo has a name (blocked out in red)  and being on well known  road I filled in name of condo and room and street number. 

See attached pic of my new report.

My question: any advice on including room # 

 

[Andycoops]

Seemingly another fickle adjustment of requirements by the fickle IB.

I live in an apartment building rather than a condo, so I always just added the room number after the building name, like "Peacock Court Apt. 5A" (since there's no dedicated field on the form for room number). That didn't stop CW from randomly rejecting one of my submissions, and telling me when I appeared in person "you have to give the room number". When I showed them that I HAD provided the room number, they kind of harrumphed and mumbled, "well, try again next time".

 

The example you provided seems to be for a condo, where each unit is given a separate street address rather than a room or apartment number per se, so I'm not sure how much clearer you can be than you already were. Many people seem to succeed just by submitting the exact same form several times until it's finally accepted, so you could try that if you have time. Good luck!

Just submitted my latest 90 Day report & like you I used autofill to complete my address details, Address format I used looks exactly the same as yours...  

 

... and like you, never had a problem using this format in the past... Will be interesting to see if it is accepted. 

 

TBH I have until (Friday) 13th May & am heading to the UK on (Monday) 15th May so if it doesn't work I probably won't bother doing a report this time & start again on my return.

Definitely. Just exit.

No problem . 

 

I'm surprised/confused that the online report was this time refused given that my previous 4 were approved and I use autofill with no change to address. 

[AAArdvark]

Your example appears to be a house / plot number and not a room number. 

Mine would be like this:

 

123/321 Grand Condo room C54321

My first was refused fifteen months ago. Resubmitted with the room number, then got passed. So always include it and no problems.

I applied for a certificate of residence permit last month and had not included my room number. The officer made a point of confirming what my room number was, so seemingly it is important.

Submitted at 7:09am & received the approval email 08:25am (My Immigration Office is Jomtien). 

 

Definitely worth submitting yours again to see if it’s approved on the 2nd try.

Indeed. 

Did that late yesterday. 

Currently its "pending" 

 

I entered name of condo followed by the following

 

#### Room 706/298 

The hash being condo name room being 706 and street number being 298.

 

That will probably be rejected also. 

It's impossible to know what format they accept.

Mind you that applies to many of Thai forms.

Don't make it too complicated for them by putting unnecessary information in it.

The condo name is not part of the address, and neither is an apartment room number.

If you live in a condo every condo has a house number though which is part of the address.

 

The only thing you put in the first field is the house number, something like: 123/456

If your address has a village number (moo), then add this as well, so it's for example: 123/456 Moo 5

Everything else you write in this field is wrong.

The previous 4 reports online and prior to that via mail included condo name and they were accepted.

 

In addition the previous 4 online reports did not include room number and were approved.

Just because they accepted it 4 times doesn't make it right.

They want the address in the official format, as I described above, or also explained here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thai_addressing_system

You can also just look in the house book, that's how they want it, no additional stuff added by yourself.

I don’t know if it makes a difference (it obviously hasn’t in the past) but I do mine the other way around with 285 being the building number (I know this as all the mailboxes  start with 285) & 866 is my condo.

Thanks for that suggestion.

Another poster suggested leaving out the Condo Name.

My rejection notion expressly stated missing  Room Number..

Will update as soon as I get a notice. 

 

Cut and paste from rejection email..

 

"Your application for "STAYING LONGER THAN 90 DAYS" has been rejected.

 

Room no. is missing."

Ah that explains it! I'm renting a room in a condo and it has two numbers and for the life of me I could not understand why. 

 

The first number is 212 which I guess is the house number as the condo has 278 rooms (it says 4/1-278 on the front wall). The 2nd number is a combo of the floor number and the location on the floor, which make it easy for the security to slip notes under my door and for True to install lovely high-speed fibre-optic ????

Your house (condo) number is then actually "4/212", so in case of the 90 day report, or extension, or anything else official, that's what you put on the form.

Thanks for the clarification. And yes i do put "4/212" on anything official, more by luck than design; I just copied what the condo office put on the TM30 and it works! ????

With immigration, nothing surprises...but causing confusion is certainly their forte. Sudden and random changes, differing from province to province and even at the whim of individual officers. Nitpicky shifting of goalposts. Wouldn't surprise me if some do it just for "fun" and/or spite. 

 

My 90 day is due 1 June. Annual extension also next month, which is always done with trepidation, regardless how many times previously. Haha

[cormanr7]

About a year ago I did an on-line report without room number (CW). It was approved but there was an accompanying note: 'next time pls. add room number'.

I now just add this behind the apartment address as (room xxx), no problems so far
