90 day reporting now available at all 7-Eleven outlets in Thailand

[pennyruen]

Am I the first to catch you out with this little ruse...? It's April 1st ... 'All Fools Day' or April fools day. It's a wind up right?

[Godders]

Methinks it must be April Fools' Day.

[Cabra]

It has to be an " April Fool Day" Gag...... Brilliant..... .

[jamiescuffins]

What day is it today ?

[cockneyrebel]

and if you do it today no doubt you get a free box of leo as well

[jimky]

Just recently they were talking requiring finger prints, DNA (even maybe sperm samples), health insurance, and life insurance for an extension. Now you can just check in with the local 7-Eleven. I like this new government. Well done.

[Cpkt8]

Hopefully foreigners who turn up at 7-11 stores to report, do not face blank stares and head-scratching staff;)

[Amaximus]

April Fools?

[Ocicat]

This aught to turn into a real cluster fiasco. Not putting much faith in this one.

1. April folks

[Dogmatix]

555. CPALL, the owner of 7-11 in Thailand,is going to be right p*ssed off when scores of clapped out farangs in Chang tank tops, shorts and flip flops start showing up with their passports and photographs in 7-11 stores across Isaan.

People were still telling me about the TV's April fool on the new law prohibiting foreign men from marrying younger Thai women, as if it was gospel, for over a year after the event.

I did mine this morning on second road 711 in Pattaya, the system works well, no hassle and no traffic at that hour

Just came back, did mine in seven minutes. Starting from next week, you can also also apply for a Non-O, or Non-B visa

Good news for those who always had to go to a consulate in Laos before. Those foreigners are allowed to enjoy a free Heineken, if the process takes longer than three minutes.

Single foreigners will be given a good looking adviser, with the option to marry her.

It was really time for such a change. Thanks to Thaivisa. God bless you.

Would you believe that at least three of my friends have sent me emails about this "news report" asking if I can check "with my sources at CM Immigration" to see if it's really true. Gheesh....

Did your sources appreciate the humor? (April Fool's Day?)

This is emancipation day in Thailand, by the way. (no fooling)

[lostinisaan]

Yes you can do many things @7/11.

90 day report i do not think so. You go to immigration for your annual renewal, and they say you never report.

I do it @7/11 where is your receipt, sorry they not give receipt. You have to pay now .

Not a good idea for farangs , to many things to go wrong. You are reliant on a cashier who is not interested in doing things to help you

But even cashiers get jokes.

[lostinisaan]

Just waiting for the day when 7 Eleven will sue TVF for serving too hot coffee online.....

[pendingo]

Apparently the 7/11 counter staff have all been rigorously trained by teams from the Immigration office during the last month or so even down to the customary scowl.

I think this is ridiculous....they are already doing too many things at these stores which are staffed by very young people receiving low wages. Online 90 day reporting is great and I'm willing to bet that 95% of the people required to file these reports have computer access. It always amazed me how many people actually went to Immigration for this purpose when they could have done this very easily by mail- I think some had nothing better to do with their time.

Actually, if you're going to use the mail service, from now on you have to mail your application to the designated 7-11 nearest to you. But you don't get an stamps back.

The best Thaivisa April Fool joke yet.

[pier]

So next step it's make report at soi 6????

[pier]

Coz we not like only bread and beer....

[keemapoot]

I just did mine at 7-11 and got a free hello kitty umbrella

Sent from my GT-N5100 using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app

Well it sounds nice and this is April fools day also George is notorious for an April fool joke.

That being said I was wondering if there is not a law against making a declaration on a Public forum and claiming it comes from a Government department.

If so I don't think Thai Visa would allow it. There are enough moderators to know it is being posted.
