Mail-in 90 Day Report

[acepredator]

Hello. I've always done my 90 day reports in person at Chiang Mai Immigration. I may need to do the next one by mail, however. I know there is a post here that provides the necessary steps to take to successfully do the report by mail, but I do not know how to locate that post. Could someone please direct me to the post that will explain exactly what I must do? Thanks very much in advance for any assistance you can provide.

To OP > You are posting your question on this on-line Forum, which means you have Internet access.  That being the case, why don't you do your 90-day report on-line? 

It is a quick and easy process to do so, and can be done during the 14 days before till actual due date of that 90-day report. 

Imm sends you a confirmation when it is approved and you can also check the status on-line.

And in case your report has not been approved and is still pending on the due date, you can then still do it in person during the 6-day grace period at your CM office.

Thanks ...I should have mentioned that I cut and posted that from search.

Didn't take much time.

Hope it's useful. 

 

Added note: previously I used mail option for reports CW due to (at that time) unreliable online reporting.

The new system online is huge improvement.

At CW mail option they return all your photocopies and new TM47 application form. Just provide B4 return envelope.

Its bullet proof.

From what I have read on this forum and other sources, there are many problems trying to do the 90 day report online. The system just doesn't seem to be very efficient. The mail-in system, on the other hand, seems to work much better. Someone I know has been doing the mail-in reports for many years and has never had any problems.

 

Ordinarily I would go in person, but I need to get a new U.S. passport, and I am worried that if something goes wrong, I won't have the new passport by the time my 90 day report is due. I hope to send my passport to Bangkok within the next week. My due date is August 13th, so with two full months, I should be okay. But one never knows, especially when dealing with the United States Government, an entity not known for its efficiency or concern for its citizens living abroad.

That is ancient history.

The earlier online reporting was very problematic.

 

Not the case now.

Thanks for the information. I will consider if that is a better option for me if I don't have my new passport in time.
