E-application Coming In March

Featured Replies

The Immigration Bureau has a quarter page advertisement in today's Bangkok Post announcing that the current E-Mail system used for re-entry permits will be extended to cover applications for extension of stay and change of visa starting in March of this year - and indicating this is another step in making Immigration and "E" process. There is no indication in advertisement that this applies to upcountry locations as the only links provided are the normal headquarters www.immigration.go.th and a test Bangkok site bangkok.immigration.go.th

It appears to require a log in/registration at web site - fill in form - ask for appointment date/time - return by email and then appear at the date/time requested. There is no indication of feedback on the time so expect it will be first come/first served but that all paperwork will be at desk so should speed up the process.

Especially if you have to "log on" before you "register"? Suspect they mean bring the page up on your computer (access).

If they are reading this, why don't they just make life simple for themselves.

A 1+5 year inital+long term extension visa for all work permit holders, spouses etc etc. First year to test the legitimacy of the application, but once proven by the intial stay, a long term visa so they don't re-do the same work every year.

They can up the fees for all I care, just don't wanna have to piss about with visas unecessarily every year.

But then again, what will they do with all those staff...they'll have nothing to do!!!

Unfortunately, this would not be within the authority of the Immigration Bureau. It would need a change of Section 35 of the Immigration Act to begin with, followed by Ministerial Regulation and Police Order.

The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place

 

One thing they could easily do is make 90 day reporting online available across the country as it is already being done by resorts. Hint Hint.

That would definitely be a step in the right direction!

Would it be possible to Scan and Post the Original ad.. I don't get the Bangkok Post..

Except Wednesday's DataBase issue. :o

Thanks,

Was at Suan Plu a few days ago and one I/O told me that appointments would be made and the process would be "much quicker", whatever that means. My last extension visit was about 20 minutes, so I can't imagine anything being much faster than that! A counter has been set up at the far end, next to the re-entry section.

The suggestion (hint) was to make the same type of system available for doing 90 day reports.

I see no reason why a person can't do the 90 day reporting online and PRINT the little piece of paper out. If it can be set up for guests at resorts it could just as easily be set up for 90 day reporting. Which is what I said in my post.
