Lol

Everyone firing bullets without any idea what the situation is.

Does the OP still have his old passport?

Until that is known not a real lot of point to any of the answer

Suggest you take the time to actually read the thread before jumping in with both feet.

Let me see I read that OP passport status and renewal procedures unknown can't do a 90 day report. Hansgruber doesn't have to do 90 day reports.

Uncle Sam doesn't let you keep the old passport but Australia does.

But nowhere did I read that OP has or doesn't have old passport,

Silly me for jumping in with both feet.

But further clarified by later post from OP

how can u take ur old passport in? for Americans we give them the old one when we apply for a new one as i just did that.

the US embassy notified me my new passport is in Bangkok an being mailed down to me in Phuket

2,000 baht fine if over 7 days

When I applied for a new US Passport, I kept my old one. Went to Bangkok when they emailed me that the new one was ready, handed over the old one, they punched some holes in it and handed back the old & new passports.

If I had wanted them to mail back the new passport, I would have had to surrender the old one when I applied, but as long as I was going to collect the new one from the embassy they let me keep the old one until the new one was ready.

ok, well that's the difference then, i'm having it mailed back so they took the old one.

but still not clear on my original question about late on the 90 day report, i guess the answer is either 2000 baht fine or they don't care (i'm on retirement extension). i wonder which office is likely to be more sympathetic? i prefer patong because its quick and easy and my guess is a bit more flexible on the rules, but not sure. anyone know?

i would think if u dont have ur passport u cant really do a 90 day report.

they mail the old one back to you

all u can do is try Patong an see what they say,

not to be nasty but why didn't you do the 90 day report 14 days before it was due?

Not claiming in any way to be an any sort of pert on Thai Immigration.

But I would think it could be done.

The 90 day process does not add any stamps etc to your passport.

Do you have copies of the necessary documents to do the 90 dayer (from memory)

• photo page
• tm6
• visa / visa extension

If yes I would take them to Immigration and run it by volunteers at Information desk.

I'm pretty sure that yours is not a unique situation - lost passports / replace passports are not uncommon.

If no I would ask Udonjoe's advise - he is an expert on Thai Immigration (well he seems to me to be)

Which Office - I've never been to Patong but I would avoid Phuket like the plague - it took me two hours to get a straight forward 90 dayer done and a friend 2 full days to get an extension done.

Regards

Firing squad Steve. They take you outside of immigration put you up against a wall and BLAMMO, you're toasted.

really! when i check my tracking no. is says US embassy. maybe call on mondey

yes really;

have it in hand

maybe Kamala is faster than where u are :-)

PHUKET

as far as two days for extensions;

if u do ur extensions in the morning u can pick it up that afternoon.

BUT if u do it in the afternoon u have to go back the next day

yes really;

have it in hand

maybe Kamala is faster than where u are :-)

i assume when i check the tracking number and it says 'US embassy', that means they haven't sent it yet. anyhow, since i did mine same time and place as you hopefully i'll be getting it back very soon.

Just did my annual retirement extension at Phuket on Thursday Richard, I arrived at 0830

and was given a queue number of 39 and about 1100 one of the immigration officers anounced

that all those with numbers above 50 should return in the afternoon, so I am guessing that

number 50 probably arrived around 0900. I saw one guy with number 75 and I am guessing

there were a few more after him? as there were people arriving all the time I was there which

was until around 1100 when I went for lunch. I returned at 1430 and collected my passport and

proceeded downstairs to do my re-entry permit, so around 7 hours to do a job that used to take

me 40 minutes up until a couple of years ago.

So someone who arrived at immigration after 0900 would have probably spent the morning and

afternoon there and still have to return the next day for their passport, and then go down stairs

to do there re-entry permit.

So if you count the morning overflow and the afternoon crowd it is probably more likely to take 2

days rather than one for most applicants...................

Thanks :

nice a full day in Phuket town LOL

i am lucky ( maybe) i do my extension in late june an hope it is less busy

BUT

i need transfer my stamps to the new passport ( as Steve does)

so i need get in the same que as those doing extensions upstairs?

Also ;

I know we need fill out this form for certificate;

was told this needs be done BEFORE you do ur extension

I was told that the landlord name and all goes in part 1

and my name and such goes on part 2

landlord signature

is this true??

Also need do another one to renew my 5 year license.

Can you lodge that idiot Registration of Residence form at Patong?

Sorry I can't help you with this Richard I own my condo and took along my chanote title deeds

but the guy I dealt with never asked for any thing?, so it very much appears dependant on who

deals with you on what docs you need to show, pretty much the same as always tit.

Sorry I am unable to reply to your pm but I keep getting " error 404 ".

yes really;

have it in hand

was just talking to a friend in pattaya

Apparently all the officers are being "multi tasked"

Now having had some experience of this delight back home the usual translation is along the lines what used to take one hour now takes four.

The above experience is pretty much along the lines of what happened to my neighbour - except he must have been a post 9 o'clocker.

The only time immo seems to check for 90 day currency is when you do another 90 day report. If you leave the country they never check to see if the 90 day report is current - at least I have never been caught....
