Why do receipts cost so much?

[AustinRacing]

Couple of days late for 90 day reporting. IO asks “with receipt 2000, no receipt 1000”. I chose the latter. Makes you wonder is it the cost of the paper or the time to write it up that makes up the 1k? Please advise🫢

[ukrules]

Because you were late doing it weren't you?
 

You know you don't need to do these 90 day reports in person, you can send anyone to sit there and do it on your behalf.

The 2000 fine comes with a receipt so the money is added to the office 'pot' and the IO probably gets a share (much less than1000).

The 1000 goes straight into the IO s pocket.

Yes Einstein. But that was not the point.

The point is, that you are encouraging corruption.

 

The fine is the same if you are 2 days, 2 months or almost 1 year late in reporting.

 

The law is there and has been for many years. You don't have to like it, and you can even do it online from home, and it is free as @ukrukes has already said.

As I did yesterday.

 

Applied at 11.00am and got approval to my email by 3.00pm.

You can, but only if it is not the first 90 days report after re-entering the country from overseas.

The first 90 days reporting, after you enter Thailand from a trip abroad, has to be done in person.

[chiang mai]

There is a 5 day (or perhaps it's 7 days) grace period either side of the due date.

You can file 90 day online very easily

Can also do online.  I’ve been doing mine online for the past three years.  Works perfectly.  They send a reminder email 15 days before, and a confirmation email and document once complete.  Depending on how fast/busy an immigration dept. is, can take from a couple of days to a week.  It’s especially convenient for me as my provincial immigration office is 65km away.

No "receipt"...you'll likely be fined the full B2000 next time for failing to report, for a total of B3000. 🤣

you are allowed 7 days late, so not just a little late, not hard to set a reminder

I  mailed my 90 day report following my return to Thailand and it was approved.

Stop arguing guys, hold on hold on, excuse me ‘I’m speaking’. Ok here is the deal:

1) I usually do the online but was over the grace period. Couple of days was figurative

2) highlighting brazen corruption in government processes. 
3) the post was satirical

Finally KH trademark 😂😂😂😂

[Searat7]

Can you submit 90 day report by mail (vs. visit to CW) if you have been outside the country in the past 90 days ? Actually I have been here since late May and took 2 overseas trips already. 

[john donson]

weirdly last 90 day, I did not get the timely email warning... but I keep track on my calendar... you gotta wonder...  specially why this useless thing is kept alive... show them who's boss?

[JamesPhuket10]

It takes about two minutes to do the 90 day report online. (TM47), you get a receipt for free, print it out, and put it in your passport, what is there to moan about?

 

It takes a whole three minutes to do the TM30.

the important dates on , birthdays,hospital visits, 90 day reports ,and

renewal date , as I don't have a smartphone,  plus the batteries never

run out on a paper calendar...never miss a date ,don't pay no 2000 B

The receipts are free. The fines for reporting late are not.

While you supposedly get 7 days, my last online report ran me TWO days late because they rejected it and said I needed to come in person. When I got there, they wanted 2000 baht for "late reporting". Do the clueless women at the desk not know about the seven day grace period?  Obviously not. No one said anything about "receipts". I am completely lost.

I thought the OP is satire.
But seems a serious question??

No need to be late now, online simple. You even get an email now as a reminder. So if you f##k up, problem belong you.😀

My 90-day reports cost me nothing, but then I make them on time.

You're right. I never mailed. I only did it online or in person.

Seems that way. Good to see some useful stuff has come out of it. 😉

I don't think so.

 

I believe you can post in your 90-day report including at SAE for the receipt, I am sure I have done this after trips abroad.

 

Likewise, I have posted registered mail, then backed it up with a phone call to make sure they got it.

 

I wasn't aware that the 90-day online posting didn't work after leaving and re-entering the country, because my recent trip was to Cambodia overland.

 

I have just this past three days ago submitted, and received my 90-day receipt, after submitting online.

My immigration is 70km, I treat it as a day out when we go there annually for my extension.

 

I have never had reminder emails though from immigration, that's a new one on me.

I already acknowledged the mishap in a previous post. I cannot amend my original post because it is now frozen. And yes, reporting by post is a viable option. 

I don't know what SAE is. So far (in two years with a retirement VISA), I only did my 90 days report either in person or online.

What is SAE?

Thank you in advance for your clarification.
