That is what we have all been waiting for. Sadly No.

I send my 90 day reports to Korat. I always panic but the reciept always turns up about 3 weeks after the reporting date. Last time I put a 5 Baht stamp as the local post office told me that that was enough.

[isaanpeter]

3 weeks after reporting day...

isnt that overtime that is normally fined?

No. The reciepts were stamped on time. It just takes a while to be returned to you.

[isaanpeter]

In my case...

end of 90 day is 10th of november..

when I normally should get the new 90 days letter?

before or after the 10th november?

In my opinion I should get it the latest 8 of november 2008 that is saturday.

Peter. Why did you send it so early?

It only has to be sent 7 days before your date.

You will not get it until after 10th November.

[isaanpeter]

but as you say I will get it laterthan 10th 11.2008.

Thanks Peter

No . You will not be fined if they received it.

If you are worried go yourself or send it in again.

[isaanpeter]

what would you do...:

wait till the reciept arrives in Khao Wong...

or go to Nakhon Phanom to be sure..

I think I will make the latest and look if the rest of tm47 arrives later...

the next time perhaps I can mail it to Nakhon Phanom directly I will ask them..

Peter. When I did my first Mail report to Korat I waited until the morning of the 7th day after the report date. I panicked and made the 170k journey to Korat and did the report.

When I arrived back in Khon Kaen the original post receipt was in my mail box.

Up to you but you have 7 days after the date to report. If your receipt has not come back by then?

Go in person if you want to.

Do not worry. You have plenty of time.

Yep. Some do , some don't.

But Bangkok do . Unless you live in Bangkok apparently.

[isaanpeter]

I will go to Nakhon Phanom on 10th 11.08 and ask them :

1.can I mail to you in Nakhon Phanom?

2. Will I get back the TM 47 before reporting day?

3.How long I can wait for TM 47 after reporting day?..

I will tell you the answers...my thai wife will accompany me.

Peter

and thanks to all of you

[Lite Beer]

Good idea Peter.

You will discover that things in Thailand do not work like that. You will get smiles , raised arms, maybe's, iff's and buts.

At least you will be on site to report in person.

Good luck.

You are worrying over nothing.
