90 Days Report In Suan Phlu On Saturdays?

[gazzola]

Hi all!

It will be my first 90-days report and I'm not sure if they are open for this kind of service at the Suan Phlu office.

I'm not from a neighbouring country, but I've read in a forum that, even after the change of the main immigration office to Chaeng Wattana, they were still accepting 90-days report on Saturdays only. But the info is from Dec, 2010. Does anyone have an update?

I have also another doubt regarding the report date window (15 days before the expiration, 7 days after). I understand that if I go during these 7 days after, there will be no fine. Am I right?

Thanks in advance!

I know you can get a re-entry permit on a Saturday morning at Suan Phlu, but I'm not sure that you can do your 90 day report there. You know you can do it by post.

Do 90 day report at Chiang Watanna in Bangkok if not serviced by one stop (business) center for extensions. 15 days early to 7 days after are allowed without fine if done in person. If done by mail it needs to be there on 90 day date or before.

It seems I made a mistake with the report and re-entry permit. Indeed, it seems the re-entry permit is the only service available at Suan Phlu office.

I've checked the requirements for the services at One-Stop at http://bangkok.immigration.go.th/en/boi.html and our case is covered in one of the items of "types of applicants". I'll try there first and, if it doesn't work, I'll head to Chaeng Wattana.

Thanks for the advice!

So you work for a company that is covered by BOI? If so then the one-stop is for you.

Chaeng wattana might be right for you, but you have not stated where you currently stay.

Actually I hope they can accept the application in One-Setop based on item 9:

9. An applicant who entered into the Kingdom of Thailand due to certain obligations made between the Thai government and a foreign government.

There were an intergovernamental agreement for teaching in a local University. It's not a diplomatic job, but it comes from an agreement between my home country's Embassy in Thailand and the University, which belongs to the local government. Let's see if it works.

I'm in Bangkok, so Chaeng Wattana can be the Plan B.

Think Plan B is looking good

As stated above, in case you end up needing to report to CW, they do accept mail-in 90 day reports... Generally a whole lot easier than shlepping out there.... There's various threads here that contain the specifics on how to do the mail in 90 day reports.
