New 90-day reporting procedure at Jomtien (Chonburi) Immigration Office

[JensenZ]

I don't know when this started, but 90-day reporting just become a lot more complicated.

You mean the TM30?.....

Yes silly added requirement.

No, I mean everything. Previously you just hand in your passport and 10 minutes later 90-day reporting is done. Now you have to fill out the TM47 and provide all the photocopies.

At Korat none of this needed, just hand your PP and they go into the computer then print out the new notification and staple it into you PP. It take about 2 minutes.

That's the way I've been doing it for nearly 20 years. This is new since I did my last 90-day reporting.

Every immigration has their own take on requirements.

I needed to do my last 2 reports in person at CW.

Online stopped working for me at CW. 

I certainly did not just "hand over my pp" and that's all.

On your list the TM30 , that was not required.

Why aren't you people using the online service?  I haven't been near Immigration for a 90 day report for at least 4 years. It seems like self flagellation to me.

Yes, I know, that's why I indicated the office in the subject title. This is a big change and inconvenience for us.

Here are my reasons:

 

1. I live close to the immigration office.

2. It never took more than 5 - 10 minutes.

3. Didn't want to mess around with online reporting due to many reports of its unreliability.

 

And lastly, seeing as you mentioned it - I'm into "self-flagellation". Reporting has always been an orgasmic experience.

Well perhaps rogue Jomitien office has been "advised" to fall in line. 

TM47 reports have clear requirements at most offices.

The list you posted is hardly a ...

"big inconvenience"

With a bit of luck a photocopy shop will have opened nearby.

Same here in P'lok. No forms, no copies. 

They are not allowed to staple it any more, paper clip !

b4 pattaya did it with the tm47, then they started using the barcodes on the 90 day notice paper when covid started. seems they are going back a full 3-4 steps. here in banchang they never did the barcode thing. paperwork all the way

 

one thing comes to mind about immi and tech -->

RETARDS

they have the tech but refuse to use it

I would re focus that comment if I were you.  The online system works perfectly since the new tech was introduced after covid. It takes no more than 5 minutes to do, in the peace of your own pad.  Not sure who the 'retards' are here.

The same at PKK immigration. Only passport needed.

It's not unreliable, I have been doing it online for over 3 years.

 

 

Even if I lived next door to the Immigration office I would avoid going in the other than the mandatory once a year. Enjoy your "self-flagellation".

Someone in the office must own the copy machine.   How much per copy ? 😂

It is a huge inconvenience if you've never had to do anything other than hand in the passport for a quick process. I do it for my wife as well, which is now a double inconvenience. 

 

I didn't come here to argue with people who use different offices. I posted here to inform people who live in Pattaya/Jomtien.  As you don't live in Pattaya, it's not your concern.

Jomtien immigration,  showing it's love once again.

High time that office was cleared out.

[cdnvic]

I think the original intention of passing on information has been achieved. No need to let it become even more of a mess with almost half the posts being disallowable.
