Pibics (service), in Thai, )22 Feb - 22 March. I just Googled Pibics , and its Thai blacklist identification. I have never seen this before,does it mean they have checked to see if I am on a Blacklist, or is it something else ?. thanks. regards Worgeordie Worgeordie If you please.

I used taxi. Have not seen any reports of specific bus travel and office is inside private government compound that had not been completed yet so expect closest would be Impact Exhibition Center area as you can enter on road across from Hong Kong Fisherman Restaurant. The normal taxi entry is private road just South of Faraday Cafe west of highway 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recent reports (on Facebook) are closer to 28 days. Some report their submission held (for the ~ 14-ish days) and processed on the report date. Others report being processed within a few days of receipt, but held for return. All CW MTT/BKK. Recomend paying the 37 baht for return EMS, in addition to the 37 baht for sent EMS. But Immirgation did replace my EMS sticker with a new one making return tracking impossible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advocate Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 20210319 90-Day online reporting still not working. It is impossible that "maintenance" of the website is the cause of it being down for 4+ weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok Been to Hua Hin immigration today, asked them there, they are saying 20th March online site should be working. However they did my 90 day whilst I was there, no forms no papers just stuck one in my passport, great service as usual from HH office, so glad I don't have all that nonsense as Bangkok do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It fascinates me how they can predict the solving of what appears to be a puzzle (at least to the Immigration Bureau) days or even weeks in advance. It's quite clear from the error notice on the site what could be at fault and that first appeared over a month ago.

Popular Post jsnuk Posted March 20, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 20, 2021 The explanation may be even more straight-forward (and asinine). The Thai Immigration extranet website had a security certificate that was valid for 90 days, from 23 November 2020 to 21 February 2021. That totally free security certificate appears to have been allowed to lapse and was not renewed by Thai Immigration -- an exercise that would require at least one conscious human being with a functional brain. Of course, this doesn't exclude the possibility that this was all foreseen as part of a planned server upgrade. In which case, it would have been nice if our friends had the courtesy to inform their beloved farang guests -- in advance or at least on the day the server went down -- that the online "service" would be unavailable for a month. By the way: I think quite a few enterprises have figured out how to build up a new server offline and then activate it seamlessly, with little or no interruption in service? [End of logical farang rant, which no one from Thai Immigration will ever read and/or care about.] As for the system suddenly being available again on Monday morning, 22 March -- like flicking on a light switch -- I will believe it when I see it. In the extremely likely event that it doesn't come to pass, I'm steeling myself for a 500 km round trip to Bangkok to visit my dear friends at Muang Thon Thani to partake once again in this joyful ritual. 3 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
