Of course it is a complete joke considering the fact, that more than half of all Thais don't live at their registered address and well, tax payments by Thais, that is yet another unsolved mystery from outer space. Look, all foreigners were born somewhere else and moved here eventually. What those goons do not understand as they are simply too arrogant, racist or straightforward stupid is, that all those alien dirty farang can move again - they all did it once (or more than once) already. Not quite as simple as that when you're elderly and lived here for a number of years and have long term relationships and a house here. Maybe discourage some newbies though. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheryl Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 The 90 day report form -- both paper and online -- has always required your address. Some imm officers will, as a favor. update you in the computer without a form taking for granted you are at same address 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CW being one. Dont like it leave or use an agent 500b They are public servants and I pay their salary.

Technicallyyou are supposed to fill out Form T47. Which is mothing new. Half page form, hardly onerous to complete. The hassle is in having to report at all and keep track of the 90 day intervals. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingoak Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 Online system works OK but be aware if you renew your Visa Extension at the same time as you do your 90 day report you will not get any reminder from the online 90 day system the next time. They obviously do not link properly together at all.😏 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently, some people who are doing online TM47 are being rejected with a note saying the TM30 needs to be updated No, it went through just as it always has. Fingers crossed that will continue.

I briefly did that sort of work in the early '90s and the less you had to do to complete each of the hundreds of tasks in the work queue the better.

tandor Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 2 hours ago, Lemsta69 said: 100 baht for smart-arses like me who already use them for visa/extensions. I don't know what their service fee is for TM47 only or even if they're willing/able to provide such a service. Hard to know with these agents, their bread and butter seems to be the headline stuff like visa$ and exten$ion$. Eg. they want ฿6k to do an extension to a visa exempt which is out of step with the ฿12.5k for a non-O extension. Not sure if that's a "go away" price or if they're just passing on the cost of the contribution to the Immigration Policeman's Ball. Immigration Police don't have balls, in fact no RTP have them. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yankyoakum Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 yep happened to me this week, 3 copiesPP detail page and 2 of visa as well as fill out the TM47, I used to bring a prefilled one always but they said don't need it. Well now they do and if you need a pen for filling out TM 47 you have to go to bldg on the left not the one for 90 day reporting and of 3 pen spots one was MIA, one worked and other had no ink... But I did not have to sign the 3 copies. For last 3 years we've been in Sattahip only show up hand PP get number wait and they call number and hand back PP. Oh yea after all that found a pen in bottom of passport bag.. Also think they pushing for on line reporting but who knows what lies in the minds of those running the show..

My chum is in his 80's and bed ridden at the mo, I sort paperwork out for him/them, today they were worried about 90 day reporting, I said leave it with me, see if I can do it for you online. Took me 5 minutes to apply, his application was OK'd to do it online, so, in about 10 days time I will try it, see what happens....Oh, this is Ubon area...🤗 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The TM47 has been the form used for 90 day reporting since Pontius was a pilot. Sri Ratcha is also Chonburi Immigration and they have always used the recognised method. I can't see how anyone can complain about standardisation within the same immigration dept. The online system is effectively the new standard and I suspect all other office created short cuts will be abandoned. I have been doing online since 2015 and never had a problem other than the system being down now and again. No big deal if you haven't left it too late. Has become a good deal easier with the latest version. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New IO #1 uploads 1 scanned copy to online system. New IO #2 shreds all copies. New IO #3 transfers shredded copies to recycle bin. New IO #4 incinerates contents of recycle bin in the back yard. At least 3 copies are essential to create this illusion of work and the vital physical and psychological stimulation necessary to provide job satisfaction.

Bangkok Barry Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 I had to fill in the form once at Kalasin. Can't see the point of it, as it isn't universally required (like many immigration rules). Same as the 90 day report, as if you're a criminal on probation, serves little to no purpose. In the real world you would inform if you moved. In Thailand you have to inform that you haven't. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J Branche Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 You do know you can make copies of the TM47 and sign the pages. About 3 minutes prep and work to stay up to date. It is funny you created this topic and typed your rant in the same amount of time it would have taken to complete your 90 day report. You do realize that this is not the contact page for Thai Immigration to inform them that you are not happy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
