I would like to know how those who go through an agent get round the later 90 day reports, perhaps those of you who use an agent can explain the routine...😉

some agents will do the 90 day for you for free, some charge 500 baht
thats if you keep ur address where the agent got ur extension

some immigrations allow online 90 day reports
Phuket does NOT, if ur extension was issued elsewhere 

Some of us MOVE our address, ( file a new tm 30)  to wherever we want. so can do the 90 day where we live
( also makes it easier if you need a cor)

Live in Bangkok, agent is in Soi Post,  Pattaya. Hump the bus every 90 days or so from Ekkamai to Patts*, Bolt motosai to the agent's office, hand over passport and 100 baht, head to The Sportsman for a Full English, Bolt motosai to bus station, hump the bus back to Udom Suk BTS then Skytrain the rest of the way back to my shoebox in Lumphini 😂

 

Agent mails the passport with TM47 receipt back to me by EMS.

 

I could mail my passport to the agent's office but the trip to Pattaya once a quarter is a nice distraction.

I handed in a new TM30 to the local immigration office, hasn't been any problem with me doing my ongoing 90-day reports here.

An agent will do the 90-day report for you. The fee differs from agent to agent.

Over the years I have paid 200 baht, 500 baht, and nothing (!).

I used an agent in a different area for the retirement visa for two years and the 90 day reports were done for free by the agent.

I just had two send him copies of passport and visa details to the agent 3 weeks before the due date .

This year I did the 12 month visa myself and i will have to do the 90 day report at the end of April.

I hope all goes well after 2 years of using agents.

I have used an agency in the past to do 90 Day Reports, just for not needing to be bothered with the hassle. Here in Chiang Mai, however, there is a Drive Up Window at Immigration. Hand the document and Passport in. Officer checks against the computer and updates, hands all back. Matter of a minute or two (barring any issue). We just moved last month so, I had an agent update the TM30, 90 Day Report and get a Residence Certificate as I was renewing the 5 year MB and car Driver Licenses.
