90 reporting update for foreigners - Tim Newton Today - Jan 23

[webfact]

 

Thailand news - The Immigration department is upgrading its online 90 day reporting.

 

In other news, an update to the story of the Burmese man whose body was discovered in a Bangkok apartment freezer, changes to the thresholds for claiming VAT at departure from Thailand, along with the range of items you can claim on. Thai Senators are demanding a joint sitting to grill the PM over some of the government's policies, and another warning about travelling alone in Thailand, and what to do if you have an accident.

 

Tim Newton Today is a daily take on Thai and regional news and issues of interest to expats and foreign tourists.

I've done my 90-day reporting online for over 3 years without problems. I logged in to the site today to check on any changes. There aren't any changes to the site so I don't know what this is all about.

I just pay my local Immigration Department 1,000 baht to send me my 90-day Certificate by mail for the next 12 months. I do that when I get my one-year extension. They've always done that, and I usually get it about a week before the deadline. I know you can do this online now, but I do it this way to ingratiate myself with my local office. I want them to "like" me so they will hopefully give me a "benefit of a doubt" if I screw up and need something fixed.

What has changed ?

New system as crap as the old, they really need a NATIVE speaker  of English on ALL Thai websites, also it  no longer tells you your NEXT reporting date, you  have to work it out yourself. I was  approved immediately

Let us hope it remains that way... it has worked pretty well for me for many years, so, if it works, don't fix it! The cynic in me feels they want to make it more 'lucrative'!

Is the next date not printed on the Receipt? The one I get from the immigration office has it printed right on it.

Yes i think so, but this is the online method, which is very easy after you've done it the first time.

 

...and it states the next date on the email confirmation- i just checked.

I'm interest in what it looks like, I was under the impression that it would be a copy of the same Receipt Confirmation I get at the Immigration Office. They used to rip the bottom part off of the TM47 form and stamp it, but now they have a whole new receipt confirmation printing system that includes a barcode.

I just did my 90 report online a few days ago, no problems, no discernable changes. The response was maybe a little quicker.
