Mario2008 Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Postage is 10 Baht now and has been for quite some time but the immigration website has not been updated. I wonder who pays for the extra 5 Baht when envelopes arrive with 5 Baht only. The webmaster?-- Maestro The actual cost is only 3 baht. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maestro Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Yes, I was amazed in December when I had to pay only three Baht for a letter from Bangkok to Ranong. I figured the ten Baht might be for registered mail but I really don't know. With the stamp glued to the return envelope, nobody except the post office could profit if an excessive postage were used, I think. Oh, well, the mysteries of life! -- Maestro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ignis Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Likewise if you ask for a 'Proof of address letter' you must give them the Form and 100 baht for sending it to you EMS.. I always do my 90 day reporting via mail, EMS of the documents to them in a A5 envelope is 46 baht..... So a single sheet of paper via EMS is a lot lighter so would cost less.

vagabond48 Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Date of my first extension stamp: December 11, 2008The 90 days started already at December 11, 2008. Hence the reporting date is March 10th, 2009 (notified by a pamphlet in my passport). Just curious. I also went for my 1st extension Dec 11, 2008 but my "Notice" stapled in my passport requires me to report ("To notify again on:") Mar 9th, 2009. Aren't they using the same calendar? I know we can report 7 days before or after. Does the 7 day count include the report date? If my report date is Mar 9th and I am running late, do I have up to Mar 15th (+ 6 days) or Mar 16th (+ 7 days)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vagabond48 Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 I've also heard if you leave the country they check the reporting and when you come back in the count starts again. The 90 day count does reset when you leave the country and reenter, no matter what your current slip says. However a while back there were some reports of some officers who didn't see it that way, but they were freak cases and probably just new or uninformed officers. If you leave the country and return some time later, does the border immigration office give and staple another reporting "Notice" with the new reporting date.

I think they use the same calender but maybe the person that did yours was short a finger or two. The rule says before or after so to me that means the 16th is your last day without paying the fine. If it was the 15th you would have to go on the 13th since the 15th is a Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No You would have to count the days yourself. They don't care about 90 day reports and some may not even know about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's how I figured out they put the wrong report date on the notice. Just curious, since upon returning to Thailand, the reporting date on the previous notice would no longer be accurate, can it be thrown out without penalty?

Mario2008 Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 I did so without any problem. But you can just send it in with your new report. Might be better, as different offices will have different rules. From the copy of your passport they can determine why you didn't report on the old one.

I would keep it just in case they want proof that you had made a report prior to your departure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vagabond48 Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 I will be going down to CM Immigration in a few weeks for my 1st 90 day reporting. I searched for information regarding the required photocopies but all I found was information to report by mail. I know I need to bring the TM47 doc, my passport which includes the 90 day report notice, the TM6 (departure form), my last visa but what photocopies or additional documents (if any) do I need to walk in with.

expatriabkk Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 Hi I have lost my 90 days notification receipt, can anyone tell me does it matter or do they have it in their computer, Thank you so much in advance Benny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 Loosing it is probably going to cost you 2000 baht. I don't think they put them in the computer. Some offices may keep a copy in your file and if they wanted to be helpfull they could probably find your last report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mario2008 Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 Not sure if they will fine you or if they can find it back if you did your report. For you to late, but it is always advisable to make a copy of all important documents, like passport, visa, arrival card and 90 day report for in case you lose it.

lopburi3 Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 It is put into computer but often not in real time. Although I have had it directly entered even in the old one stop center years ago. Be prepared to pay if luck is not with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samuian Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 Is there a charge, for online reporting (90 days on a Non-Immi-B-Visa) as high as 3000.- ThB? regarding fines for not reporting: Note : * The notification of staying in the Kingdom over 90 days is in no way equivalent to a visa extension. * If a foreigner staying in the kingdom over 90 days without notifying the Immigration Bureau or notifying the Immigration Bureau later than the set period, a fine of 2,000.- Baht will be collected. If a foreigner who did not make the notification of staying over 90 days is arrested, he will be fined 4,000.- Baht. * If a foreigner leaves the country and re-enters, the day count starts at 1 in every case. * For details contact 0-2285-5142, 0-2287-3101-10 ext.2262, 2263 Source: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 (edited) There is no change - the fine has been and still is 2k. If you are arrested they could charge up to 5k by law but by policy it would only be 4k as stated. The is also no on line reporting for 90 days - if you are talking about the link you provided that is on line reporting of visitors for hotels. But then again, Samui has a history of non standard fees. Edited June 22, 2009 by lopburi3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, online individual 90 Report would be very helpful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
