I was able to use the online reporting system for my first 90 day report after entering the country. It may depend on the office. I do my reporting in Chiang Rai. I was also able to do my first 90 day report online after arriving back in Thailand last June. I did state earlier that I report in Chiang Mai and absolutely no surprise rules are different (interpretation) elsewhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just got my 90 days report approved and I re-entered last October, have done already one 90 days report online after the entry. In fact I've never done 90 days report at the immigration, always did it online. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At Jomtien I was told that they want the first 90 day report, after returning to Thailand, to be done in person. That was NOT the case when I returned last July.

Well that's in line with any paperwork handled differently at different immigration offices. I'm in Samui, and god forbid I never wasted half a day to submit 90 days report in person. All done online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So maybe my notification was made too early ? if the count starts from extension renewal on on january 17th and not on re-entry on january 10th ?

If they reset your 90-day report at time of extension you will have a slip of paper in back of your passport with the next report date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is quite possible, the Samui immigration resets the reporting date if an extension is approved. It makes sense, for the extension you need to submit the same documents, even more. As mentioned they may attach a paper in the passport with the next reporting date, although TiT, not sure if all offices are doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In most offices the 90 day report due date has nothing to do with annual extension. Some offices do the report along with your extension. Not sure why they do that as the two are unrelated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Presnock Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 In Chiang Mai, when I did my transfer of stamps from old to new passport, I also needed to do a 90-day report on that date as my online was rejected too after doing several online reports successfully. The first thing they told me at the outside tent was to go to the TM.30 office (2 minutes) behind the main bldg and which opened 15 minutes before the main office. Then they told me to go to the walk in window for the 90-day report, (1 minute only). Then they sent me inside to window 2 for transfer of stamps (free). All in all no problems and guess they want a tm.30 report at the same time even if no normal reason. My experience this year anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMBob Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 19 hours ago, daejung said: Hello, I used for the first time the online application for 90 days application yesterday march 27 th and I received an email this morning saying that ir was rejected without any explanation. What can be the reason ? In january I made a trip to Laos and re-entered Thailand on january 10 th so I think I made my 90 days application in time. On January 17th I renewed my 1 year extension till february 2025 Can understand the frustration with the system. I too went to Laos January 8th and returned to Chiangmai on January 12th.....and had my 90-day filing rejected a couple of days ago; however, the rejection email to me did list a reason for the rejection: "Incorrect entry date upon entry into the kingdom/Incorrect visa expiration date." That alleged reason was wrong as my information was exactly correct.....and I used the exact same form (the one they email you back) and information yesterday for filing in person at CM Immigration without a hitch or question. Thankfully, I used the drive-thru window and the filing took less than 5 minutes. I have no clue where the online filings go but whoever rejected my filing miss-read his/her computer screen and/or was having a bad day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhaoNiaw Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 If you have time, it's worth resubmitting. I've had a few online rejections that are still approved with exactly the same information after resubmitting. One on the 4th attempt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bugs me, everytime you can lose 10 days or so if you report early, but you can do your extension early and it is stamped on the due date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
worgeordie Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 I too had my 90 day report rejected , also on the email it said my last address was at some Condo in Chiang Mai , ...I have never been to that Condo or know anything about it ... So what I did was to reapply to the new TM30 ,I had already done that but thought it was best to do again , reported again ,next day it was granted , everything OK regards Worgeordie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HuaHinNew Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 IMHO I have said this many times and from what I see here nothing has changed. The Immigration Database is not real-time connected to the 90-day online reporting Database. So, 90-day reports are often rejected on not what you have inserted in your 90-day online form if it's all ciorrect. The Imm officer is looking at your form details and referencing it against your Imm Visa details and possible TM30 details Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renaissanc Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 20 hours ago, daejung said: Hello, last time I filled in a TM47 was in april 2023 I left at the end of april and cam back in november. I went to Laos before the 90 days limit and came back on january 10th TM 30 was filed in nobember 2022 by my land lord, he made a new one in january 2024 but the previous one was still valid Yes I will make an appointment if I cannot doit online I think you'll be all right. Whatever the cause is, it can be solved by being apologetic at the Immigration Office. The officials aren't monsters and they try to help people here legally. The very worst that can happen is that you have to go to another country to get a 3-month visa (whatever it's called) and then you change it to the annual visa on returning to Thailand. But this is unlikely if you're kind and polite to the official. In my 40 years here I once accidentally let my marriage visa expire while working abroad and that is what I had to do maybe 17 years ago. If the official solves the problem for you, before you go home, get him something to eat or drink as a "thank you". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edwardflory Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 In Korat, a NEW TM-30 is REQUIRED if you LEAVE the country - even with all visa / extension paperwork up to date and returning to same address, before you can do a 90 day report. 1st hand knowledge, happened to me.

mrmicbkktxl Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 I came back from Italy Jan2nd tried online report last week 2 times, but without success.Last monday I went to immigration Sriracha to do my 90days report in person and asked why it didn't work online for me, Answer was"Everytime you leave Thailand and re enter you need to come to immigration and do your report here after that online reporting will work normal" I guess immigration offices make up their own rules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boston2202 Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 I received my reminder email from immigration, so lodged my 4th consecutive TM47 90 day report online y/day a coupleof days before due date, with exact same details as previous applications. But this time got the dreaded Declined notification.... First time this has occurred for me. All my details (as far as I am aware) are up to date with Immigration. It does appear there has been an internal change for so many being declined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
