>>> 180 days (90 + 90)

>> You are very confused … When you report in person say 75 days after arrival you can do next online 15 days prior to next due date.

> 180 days is a rough rule of thumb, but it can actually be more or less than 180 days, agreed? … I was just using 90 (and its multiples) in my comment for simplicity, but technically the first can be up to 97 days and the second can be >180 days, etc., true.

Can be around 75+75 days, 150 days, you are lost in the detail, it's not important

My parent comments said "180 days (90 + 90)", "180 days is a rough rule of thumb", "I was just using 90 (and its multiples) in my comment for simplicity", for the explicit purpose of "simplicity", which was why I was very surprised when people replied that it could actually be more than 180 days, or 150 days etc (as 1st can be up to 97 days, etc) - I thought that was the opposite of simple. 😂🤷

I treat the 90 days like a military operation. 21 days prior I book an in-person appointment in the event of the online application being rejected. If I wait any later then there are no times for the necessary dates.

14 days prior I apply online. If 'pending' after 4 days then I cancel and re-submit. If pending after 6 days I cancel and re-submit. I have found this bizarre technique has the best results.

But, in any case, how do I cancel the appointment after I have it? I want to free up the place for somebody else. I can't find a way to do this. Anyone?

It really shouldn't be this complicated to provide what is really unnecessary information. Why can't they just say, "We will assume that you are at your last reported address - unless you inform us otherwise, which you must do within, say, two weeks of moving."

Who cares.

Reporting time frames are very clearly outlined.

Best to do online and mail 14-15 days prior to due date.

For in person report that's more flexible however best not to leave till grace period (7 days after due date)

For online report approval the next due date will be 90 from approval.

Bottom line.

Who cares about your "data points"

Basically posts about nothing

You won't get many folk arguing against what you outline.

By way of example.... I live in Bangkok (rental) .

We went to Koh Samed and ended up staying 9 months and I just paid rent for my Bangkok digs.

Did reports via mail. Listing my Bangkok address.

TM30 (apart from change of address) is a joke..

TM30 + TM47 = biggest joke of all time.
