Your problems seem to have started because of an expired TM 30...

 

The TM.30 has no expiration date.

The 90-day thing has always been a ball-ache but it is what it is. Thai officialdom is also a bit hit & miss but the deadlines on the 90-day are clear. Thankfully, in a place where it is easy  face-to-face and the IO guys are thoroughly decent chaps.

 

Bottomline: to thrive and enjoy oneself here, one should accept and not resist too mutt as a Westerner would have it. 😋

You make 90 report in person sound like dropping in for a coffee.

Clearly your immigration office is not anything like Bangkok..

The immigration officers are not the issue.

Just volume

Your first 90 day report can not be done online after your visa renewal, even if you have left the country several times. The second and third. So basically only your second and final 90 day can be don't online .

It stopped working for me but my agent only charges 100b.

It won't work because it was your first 90 day report after your visa renewal has nothing to do with TM30

Some live very far from immigration.

CW for example is a massive building and even from carport to immigration desks is a serious task for some.

 

Do they still do the 90 day reporting in Bumrumgrad ? I can't remember if it was everyday or timings, but it was something like a few hundred baht for the convenience.

 

A quick search brought this up;

So it seems you can do your 90 day reports at Bumrumgrad, albeit for a 650 baht fee.

Ludicrous if immigration thinks  this  actually provides "tracking" to assist with good guys in bad out...

 

That's just their pretense to make the obvious fee collecting scheme look more legit. TM30 station has their own separate collection counter and it's always busy. If there is ever a heist by a desperate farang pensioner, I suggest to just run out with a bulging drawer from that window under each arm, before getting on the get-away win-scooter. (Movie Idea)

IMHO, it is only as good as the monkey at each end.

 

Yes, reading some of the stories here sometimes.

I have to agree  with you there.

I appreciate that reporting in person is difficult for some, however I would recommend doing so, in due time, if at all possible.
