swissie Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 As I gather, the 90 Day Reporting will have to be done at the place of issuance of the (Long Term) Visa. This is scheduled to take hold in the near (or distant) future. According to the internal findings of the General and his advisers Why not finish this 90 day Hokus-Pokus altogether. As far as I know, by omitting and disregarding this 90 day Hocus-Pokus, the maximum fine of 1 year of non-reporting can not exceed 2000 Bht in form of a fine, without affecting your retirement-visa-status in any sort of way. If the additional cost of 2000 Bht per year should cramp your lifestyle, you should not be here in the first place. If every Farang would go this route (2000 Fine per year) by non-reporting, the inflowing funds would enable the countless immigration soldiers to finally learn the "world-Language" that is and remains ENGLISH. Good luck, Thailand. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 The rule that you have to report to where you extension was done is already in effect and is really nothing new. Before if you were traveling around the country you could report at any immigration office but not now. If they wanted to you could be fined up to the max fine of 5000 baht and 200 baht a day until you report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post billd766 Posted February 6, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted February 6, 2015 You can always post it in at a lot of Immigration offices. As for me I just go to Nakhon Sawan every 90 days and it is usually done in about 10 minutes depending on the queue. My last one was done in 3 minutes. It is a 125km each way trip for me and I treat it as a day out end enjoy myself. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Suradit69 Posted February 6, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted February 6, 2015 will have to be done at the place of issuance of the (Long Term) Visa. The only visa described as "long term" is the non-imm O-A and it's place of issuance, like all visas, would be at an embassy or consulate outside Thailand. Apparently several things can seem enigmatic to some people. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colspeed Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 I am not rich, but 2,000 Baht per year would not make much difference to my life style.

Apparently several things can seem enigmatic to some people. But to take the OP at his word, he would presumably be unaffected by the recent rule change in any event! In other words he could, in theory, move around LOS to his heart's content during the nearly 2 years he could get out of his "long-term" non-OA visa before he needed to start applying for annual extensions of stay, and experience no problems in making a 90-day report to whichever immigration office covered the address which was his current "flavour of the month" (or, should I say, "90 days") abode-wise! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OZEMADE Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Cant see what the problem is doing a 90 day report, I have been doing them for 10 yrs with no complications. I believe you can also report up to 7 days before and after the reporting date, may be wrong. Why make waves, get up off your ar*e and just do it, instead of winging about something as minor as reporting that you are still at the same address, as this is what it is for. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uwe_rayong Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 I agree with Swissie, the 90 day report is good for nothing. The last three times I did the report the wanted nothing (i,e. zero, nada) to confirm my address. In the last 11 years I moved once and that was in a three km radius. In the past they wanted some supporting documents, they usually accepted an electricity bill or internet invoice even if it is not on the name of the person which did the report. So what they gain with that report? National security? The good guys report the correct address every 90 days, the other group (Russian mafia, Al Qaeda, Terrorists and fugitives etc.) will not report the correct address, they are not that stupid. So the whole 90 day report is only waste of time! It is as helpful to the security as a 99 THB styrofoam helmet on a Hayabusa. On the other hand you can mail the silly slip to them and don't waste any of your time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sakhon Nakon doesn't want a mailed report either. Bad for me, because I live halfway between Konkaen and Udon Thani, but because I am just behind the border of Kalasin I have to go to Sakhon Nakorn: 180 km to go and 180 km to go home. But I don't complain: it is done in less than 3 minutes and then I can do some shopping (shoes and clothing that fits me...). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KhnomKhnom Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 The Address Reporting every 90 days has got to help in enforcing limits on and catching bad guys like the Russian described in this issue of tvisa. Suck it up and use the mail, that works. Resenting the 90 day reporting is like hating a rain shower just when you wanted to take a walk. Get over it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The inconsistency is a niggle, especially when it is actually quite tricky to know if an off will accept reports by mail. In this thread there is mention of an immigration office by 2 posters with conflicting reports of the acceptability of mailed reports. TiT and inconsistency tends to be the only constant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swissie Posted February 8, 2015 Author Share Posted February 8, 2015 The rule that you have to report to where you extension was done is already in effect and is really nothing new. Before if you were traveling around the country you could report at any immigration office but not now. If they wanted to you could be fined up to the max fine of 5000 baht and 200 baht a day until you report. My retirement- extensions for the last 2 years have been performed by immi-offices outside of my district. Chonbury / Ayuthaya. My 90 day mail reports have always been done at my district immi-office Nakhon Pathom. Last time per December 24. No problems. At least at Nakhon Pathom-immi they don't seem to care where the retirement-extension was issued. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
