Thanks. That's OK because a printout of my "next report date" has always been stapled into my passport whether it was printed by myself after reporting on-line or printed by the Immigration Office when reporting in person.

So what has "appointment" got to do with it? I've never, in 21 years, had an appointment with Immigration for either a 90 day report nor an extension of stay.

All depends on which office you deal with, some work an appointment system others don't, some work with racks of available forms others don't, with mine you've got to join the extension approval queue to get the forms you want e.g. TM7, and prove your entitled to them.

Some now do have to actually make 'appointments' to submit 90 day reports. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have picked that up from the posts on this thread but my receipt (from Surin Immigration) is like this: Giving documents different names only causes more confusion in the ranks.

After 8 years, I still tell my IO my annual extension is NOT a Visa - I can explain, but I can't make them understand. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried telling a "visa agent" that a few years ago. I don't know from where they obtained my email address but I can guess. The dialogue from them was incredible. They just couldn't comprehend that I don't need a visa. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a downloaded editable format of the TM7 which I completed and saved in the PC, basically only needed a change of date and age, before printing, no problems with Phitsanulok Immigration. After Phetchabun Immigration office opened, living in Phetchabun that is where I have to go, "the TM7 (Extension of Stay) and TM47 (90 Day Report) forms must be handwritten" they said. Then it was you've used black ink, forms need to be completed in blue ink. Then we can't accept this TM7, it is not on our format, which has the Immigration appended colored stamps pre-printed on them. The office are so pedantic it takes 30-50 minutes to vet my "retirement" extension paperwork, and I am going for the easiest which is 800k in the bank, and if you have a new form to complete and sign (of which there has been 1 in each of the last 3 years), it is get a new queue ticket and go to the back of the queue. Then they need to dot every "i" and cross every "t" again as if it is a new application, not just an extra piece of paper to be added to a pre-checked pack. Apologies for the tirade, but it's good to get it off my chest, seeing that my annual extension is due in 2 weeks, and I am living the "nightmare" of "what else can they ask for, that I haven't thought of" again. On the stupidity side my friend got new photo's this year for his extension, was told they didn't look like him, and didn't have a collar on his shirt, he offered 2 year old photo's which were accepted. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes there have been the odd additional forms to complete for no reason other than to satisfy the pompous bureaucrats but they have not been other than a nuisance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtls2005 Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 16 hours ago, JohnOFphon said: .I just got the stamped, self addressed envelope.... Thank you for the update. So it seems like mail-in 90-day reports to CW (MTT) are being processed, with "Receipt of Notification" being received within ~ 28 days. I did include my original, previous Receipt of Notification (Imm officer's signature in blue ink, red stamp in Thai at the top) in my mail-in package (and kept a scan/copy of course). That, sending a copy, has been highlighted as an issue (advice/warning) in a few posts here over the years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A little bird told me that the site is DOWN, possibly until June. Is this true? Or only for people with the usual blocks (e.g. change of passport)?

ThailandRyan Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 (edited) They were trying to upgrade the system. Apparently they have now upgraded it to it's current status of ensuring all of us either show up in person from now on, or use the mail system.

ubonjoe Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 As I have posted before this is not the first time immigrations extranet has been down for a long time. At that time they stated it was taken down for security reasons. I just went back through pages of this topic and it was down form December of 2017 to April of 2018. My first post about it in December is here. And back up here in April. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a friend (now deceased) who got her hair and makeup done ahead of her 80th birthday party and she looked so good that she decided to have photos done because she figured she'd never look so good again in her life and as she said at the party, one of the photos could be displayed at her funeral (it was). She used one of the photos for her annual retirement extension, but this was in the days when you had to show up at Chiang Mai Immigration at zero dark thirty to get a queue number and wait outside Promenada in the heat, dark with the mozzies. After waiting six hours, the immigration officer refused her photo, saying she couldn't use one that was twenty years old! Back outside to the photo shop for her. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
