Forthe past eight years or so I have sent the required Notification form to Nong Khai Immigration Office by post.Now I am told that I must report in person.This will involve a 400 km round trip,costing about 1500 baht.I have been told (by a friend) that Bangkok Imigration will accept postal notification.Any thoughts on this ?Thanks for any views."Numbnuts"

Envelope with 5 Baht stamp affixed and return address of foreigner for the officer in charge to send back the lower part of form TM. 47 after having received the notification. This part must be kept for reference and for future notifications of staying over 90 days.

I went today (bangkok) to report. Got there about 12:10 and was out by 12:30. Whilst there wife asked about reporting by mail...they seem not keen...said 'big pile of paperwork and some gets lost'. Its only about 1.5Hrs journey for me..but thats 3Hrs + lunch...so its a half day pain... net time will try the post way...I'll let you know how successful.
