eljuwa Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Hello Forum Members My 90 day reporting to Thai Immigration comes up in July 2013 Your input on the following: 1) Would there be BY MAIL REPORTING in Chiang Mai before July 2013 ? 2) If I have to go in person to Thai Immigration prior to 22 July, how much earlier could I go? 3) If I get to Thai Immigration, Chiang Mai by 6 AM, is that sufficient for me to avoid the long lines for 90 day reporting ? Thanks very much James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CharlesWayne Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Best bet is to contact Assist Thai Visa in Chiang Mai. They will do all your 90 day reports for you for 1000 baht per year. http://assistthaivisa.com/about.html Answer to when you can report it's one week prior or after your report day. As for getting there to avoid the rush----forget it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What makes the waits at the CM office so bad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
worgeordie Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Hi James no need to go at 6 in the morning, I always go between 3-4, as their are a lot less people, you should find parking,and you should be in and out quickly. You can go 7days before or after the date that is stamped on the paper you get from immigration,but I always go a day or two before,I have never done it by post,as I don't want any problems with paperwork been lost. regards Worfeordie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hellodolly Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 If you go at 6:00 in the morning you will have a two and a half hour wait for the office to open. The longest I have ever waited is one hour and 35 minutes. I went in at 10:30 in the morning. If you have your papers in order any one can take them in for you. My friend just sends his wife. As has been mentioned http://assistthaivisa.com/about.html will do it for 1,000 baht a year. I have heard and unsubstantiated rumor that it is now 1,500 baht a year. I think Chiang Mai is more over run with Burmese than Pattaya in fact I heard that in Pattaya the Burmese go to another location. If you decide to do it your self don't let the crowd scare you most of them are there for other reasons. Good Luck with what ever you choose to do. It is only a five minute walk to the airport mall. The wife and I usually make it a day to take in a movie or do any other shopping that needs doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True it's not 5 minutes, but look at the other thread and watch this one.....you will see loads of hints on how to be in and out fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go to immigration at 3:15 in the afternoon on a Wednesday that is not a holiday and not right before or right after a holiday and pray that everyone else does not use the same strategy.

cmsally Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Quick question - do you have to make the 90 day report in your hometown. ie if you reside in CM and come the 90 days find yourself in BKK, Khon Kaen or wherever, can you do the report there??

hellodolly Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Ignore some of the multi posters they don't do it themselves they pay to have it done. The other thread has been hijacked into a discussion on any thing and every thing by some posters who don't go in it was getting pretty hard to find some real experience on it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vagabond48 Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Answer to when you can report it's one week prior or after your report day. As for getting there to avoid the rush----forget it. Slight correction. It is 15 days prior not 7 days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, I think Tywais should have locked it after his pointer post Ok since it is open, I just got a email from Thai assist saying they now sell health insurance & anyone buying a policy gets free 90 day reports for a year. A foreigner has been hired to deal with that department. Named Andrew Williams Have to admit their industrious & working an area that seems to have business Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
