90 days reporting 16 Oct

[Lorry]

Online didn't work, had to go to CW

Had to wait for 410 people in the queue, mostly Chinese. About 8 hours. 

Finished about 7pm

 

IO apologized that online didn't work, it was a mistake of their computer

They said it's always crowded like this,  especially on a Monday

That's why they give you a 15 day window ahead of due date and another 7 days after the due date to apply... waiting 'til the last minute is never a good thing.

It wasn't the last minute, and anyway:

The first sentence of my post was probably too difficult to understand:

It worked fine yesterday...

I made an online report 1 week ago, there was no response or approval from immigration. Cancelled that one and submitted it again.

 

Running out of time, think I am going to end up going to CW on Friday to join the queue to report in person.

[bamnutsak]

You can make an appointment for a 90-Day Report at CW and the process is very fast; two minutes for me.

 

Service time is quoted at 10 minutes (duration, with an appointment).

 

It looks like there are 36 slots each day for appointments.

 

No open appointments for tomorrow, but several on Friday, and more farther out.

 

10:15 appointment cleared Counter 4 in less than a minute, Desk B66 took me as soon as she cleared her current customer.

 

IMO it would be wise to book an appointment at -30 days (back from the end of the grace period) assuming online won't work and as a back-up.

I'm surprised there are that many people queued for a 90-day report. What time did you first queue? And finish?

 

There are runners, thrid-parties who can be seen carrying a stack of 20 - 50 passports, who can gum up the works occasionally.

 

 

The Re-Entry Permit Queue must have been dreadful.

I kind of assume that every day would be equally busy, so not sure how you're comment is relevant or even helpful.

 

That is to say, there is never a "good time".

Thanks for that. Just made an appointment for Friday afternoon, queue number 1127. Have no faith anymore in their 90 day online report.

 

They seem to be taking more fees with more customers with no improvement of service. It is still only about 5 booths to deal with the daily crowds at CW.

 

It was all working much better when the 90 day reports was based at Muang Thong Thani.

Good to know.

She sounded like it was a computer mistake not for everybody

Some are lucky like me.

5 hours until approval today.

Others not.

A mate living nearby always gets reject without comment. And that after it worked for him in the past. And even worse: no one at KK office is willing or capable to tell what the problem is. The guy has never left the country or moved residence since about 15 years!

Agreed.  Put in on your calendar to submit the form 15 days before the due date, and then if it doesn't show, wait until the last couple of days before heading to Immigration.   Usually it will show up if you give them that 22 day lead-time.

Try mailing it in then.  Better than visiting in person.

CW requires mail reporting 15 days prior to due date.

The issue with CW is currently you are waiting multiple days (up to 15) days pending.

At that point too late for mail option

What is your reporting office?

 

The OP started this thread referencing CW, where most have encountered issues with timely responses from CW.

 

And I'm not sure that "luck" should be a determining factor?

Thanks but it will be too late now. My deadline is Friday and then have that one week grace period. It is easier to just travel to CW and back which funnily enough is the shortest part of this fiasco. 

 

The long wait at CW is the real problem to do a simple report. They even still want one to collect and fill in a piece of paper when everything is supposed to be computerised.

 

The system at CW works like this:

Wait in queue, collect form at desk (cant collect ticket number because form not filled)

Fill in form.

Stand in queue to collect ticket number.

Hand over passport and filled form to officer who checks passport and reason and issues ticket number.

Waiting waiting many times not less than 2hrs.

Eventually ticket number called, present filled in paper form and passport and the officer fills in stuff on the computer and prints out a new paper form and stamps it with next 90 day report.

Reports from some mail-ins to CW are dismal. Often no return reply after 30 days.

 

CW seems to be unforgiving re: applying the fine after the grace period.

 

It might be easier to fly out/in (internationally) after a missed report, to reset the clock.

Yes, this will be my first time to make a 90 day report using the appointment system.

 

But all the paperwork printing, filling and presenting is still required when all is on their computers.

[bamnutsak]

Assemble your paperwork/copies ahead of appointment.

 

Proceed to Counter 4 far right, inside office area - Doc check, get badge for desk B66, just a few meters to your right, proceed there, and allow the desk agent to see your B66 badge, she should wave you over.

 

That was the procedure last month, if it remains the same the entire process should take no longer than 5 minutes.

Correct, I have done this once. 

It never occurred to me to make an online appointment as back up if I report online. That's really a good idea. 

 

I did once report by mail, when the online report got no answer. 

I wouldn't do it again,  because I ended up with 2 90-day report slips (the online one was approved, in the end,  and the mailed-in one got an answer weeks later). The dates were 2 weeks apart, and it was not clear when the next report would be due. I wasted a lot of time for the next report. 

 

This "90-days report" - really a 75-days report because you don't want to do it the last minute - has developed into a real PITA.

[Cat Boy]

If you go to CW then I presume that are BK based. 

 

The business center on the 10th floor of Bumrungrad Hospital offers a 90-day reporting services. 

 

I believe they go on Fridays and Monday mornings, so drop off the day before, pick up the day after. 

 

It 650 baht. 

 

I used online reporting for a time after Lad Prao office closed upstairs from the Big C Imperial Shopping Center, but it became so unreliable it just wasn't worth the stress or the effort to even bother with it. 

 

I use the business centre 100% when in-country unless travel negates the necessity of reporting. 

[Skeptic7]

CW is known for inability to process online 90-Day Reports when it is up and running. Garbage excuse. Garbage immigration office. So glad I don't have to deal with that place any longer.
