angsta Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Maybe this is in the wrong section/forum but here goes...my non immigrant B is from Nakhon Ratchasima but I want to do a 90 day report in Khon Kaen. Yes or no? The weird thing is I had the same visa a few years ago from Sakhon Nakhon and did a 90 day in Udon at the airport immigration no problems. Have things changed or was I just lucky? Any info greatly appreciated. angsta:: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcb2001 Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Good question, The purpose, as I understand, for the 90 day report is to tell the Thai Immigration where you actually live. Any immigration office in Thailand should be able to take your TM-47. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lite Beer Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Moved to Visa Forum. You are supposed to report to the office where you got the extension unless you have since moved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angsta Posted February 12, 2013 Author Share Posted February 12, 2013 So if they ask I just tell them i've moved. Its a work visa I have never had to prove my address details. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Your work permit does allow work at your new location I hope? Immigration is now set up with specific office for each province do if you present an address outside of there jurisdiction they normally ask that your file in your supporting office. So address and place of extension is often checked closer these days. The three week reporting window should allow for normal travel and return for those on vacation to do in there home location and those that have moved are required to report this.

angsta Posted February 13, 2013 Author Share Posted February 13, 2013 I'm a teacher but when I taught in Sakhon Nakhon a few years ago I did my 90 days in Udon. My friend who is at my old school always reports in Udon and has done for 3 years yet his work permit and visa are from the Sakhon Nakon office.

Thanyaburi Mac Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 You should ask Korat Immigration if they accept 90-day report by mail, some do, some don't. Mac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoonman Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 My extension was issues at one stop in Bangkok and the admin girl from work usually takes care of my reporting however on the odd occasion it is forgotten (usually me not sending my passport and TM.47 to admin girl) and rather than risk a fine I report at the closest immigration to me which is Jomtien. never it has not been an issue and this is over 6+ years with my most recent report at Jomtien just over a month ago.

lopburi3 Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 But you are in a special category using that facility. You are also not overstay the day employment ends as with others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iam special for using Jomtien ? Curious though when employment ends so does my extension, would I not be on overstay the next day ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mario2008 Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 You mention the One Stop Service, which is in Bangkok and a special facility. They have slightly different rules. If you have an extension of stay from them instead of regular immigration, you would get 7 days to pack without needing to pay for an extension.

Mac This is the thing I hate most about Thailand immigration, they just make up their own rules. You always seem to come across this, some do, some don't, nonsense.

Hunter88 Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Live in Pattaya. Tried to do 90 day In BKK. No, you must do in Pattaya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krataiboy Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Live in Pattaya. Tried to do 90 day In BKK. No, you must do in Pattaya. What if you live in Pattaya but are on holiday somewhere else when your 90 day report is due? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJCM Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 (edited) Live in Pattaya. Tried to do 90 day In BKK. No, you must do in Pattaya. What if you live in Pattaya but are on holiday somewhere else when your 90 day report is due? That's why you have the two weeks before and the 1 week after the reporting date to do your report.

Anon999 Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 (edited) Originally in 2006 I got my extension in Pattaya as BKK refused on the grounds my 90 day visa hadn't expired. Then had to change offices to get my extension 3 times as new offices opened. However, I have had no problems with posting my TM47 to Jomtien 3 or 4 times a year. Even when a registered delivery was lost internally and they did not backdate it. For some reason the first TM47 took 10 days to get from Swampy to Chon Buri according to the information on Thailand Post so it's not surprising they say post 15 days before the due reporting date. I live in Isaan. Edited February 17, 2013 by Anon999 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angsta Posted February 18, 2013 Author Share Posted February 18, 2013 Ok so I went to Khon Kaen on Friday and they processed my 90 days no questions asked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
