Here's a heads up for resident farangs in Phuket regarding 90 day reports. TM47 forms are no longer required when reporting to Phuket Immigration Office. What is required are copies of your visa extension, entry stamp, and PP ID and a Que number. This new procedure was introduced the week ending 7 March 2013

Same for Patong.

So instead of 1 sheet of A4 paper (completed TM47), Phuket and Patong now require 3 sheets of A4 paper with each 90-day report (or 4 if your queue number is printed on a further sheet of A4 paper). Well that's what I, for one, call progress Presumably the staff at those 2 offices must be in urgent need of more seat padding material for their sore bums!

Yes, that's a common opinion but we wait with baited breath as reports say that the copies of passport visa extensions etc. were only intended for the first three months of every year. Let's see what happens in April
