Brit_Doggie Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Did report yesteday,duly took utility bin/passport,long w8 bc busier than norm which is natural considering fiesta upon us. Ok mr no need to bring in proof of address because it all encoded in barcode,all well and good but i could have moved and not informed immo,so again it makes utter nonsense of being made to do said report,as i see it it should be abolished and only proof of residence submitted annualy, i hope therefore that the tvf guys can push for imminent removal of the need to report forthwith. , 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petercool Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 If you changed address you can always inform them and they will update. Agree, though, it all seems unnecessary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SidJames Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Brit_Doggie, I think it's fair that we have to do a 90 day report. It serves 2 purposes. It let's the Thai Immigration know where we are residing, but it also let's your home country immigration department know where you are if you need to be contacted urgently for an emergency there. Also, keep in mind that the same rules are enforced in both the UK & Australia, so stop your grizzling. If you don't like or agree with following the laws of your adopted country, then go back from whence you came. There are far too many farangs that have moved to Thailand for whatever reason, who continually whinge and complain about the way things are done in this country. This is THEIR country, NOT YOURS, so if you intend to stay here then shut the f up and live with it. I'm sure if the shoe was on the other foot, you'd be telling the foreigners in your home country who whinged and complained to do exactly the same thing, viz. shut up or go back to where you came from. Far to many hypocrits post their threads in this forum. Surely people are allowed to voice their frustrations at overly bureaurcratic procedures that they find themselves tied up in when they would rather be playing golf, sailing etc. The only Thais that I know that don't mind these systems so much are the lawyers who provides services to us to help us through the mirade of changing rules. In fact many Thais stay out of the system altogether because they can't fathom how to negotiate their way through it. They also need to produce house books & ID with multiple copies for the most mundane of day to day things and god forbide if the lose there personnel docs which is quite common given the transient lifestyle of so many that work around Pattaya. All of this becomes more frustrating knowing that rules are interpreted by officials in completely different ways adding to the need to vent on forums such as this 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stoli Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 I rarely spend over 10 minutes doing my 90 day report. I wish that the states knew where the immigrants were. If this "saga" overtaxes you, I can never find an answer for you. Soon to be at your 7-11. Will this not make you happy? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunderbirds20 Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Bureaucrats are the same the world over, and especially at Immigration in Thailand. They have to create work to justify their existence! It bothers me too, ..makes me feel like a criminal, having to report every 90 days, but I doubt it will ever change. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Benmart Posted April 11, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted April 11, 2015 I try to live life on life's terms. I'm not here to reinvent the wheel, change how the Thai system works or become frustrated with my inability to control all things. If I become so unhappy with my present situation, I can exercise an option that I do have control over, and that is to move on. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It bothers me too, ..makes me feel like a criminal, having to report every 90 days, but I doubt it will ever change. Perhaps these procedures filter out those that are. It really isn't that onerous for most of us who live within an hours drive of our immigration office. And now we have on-line reporting for those that are further afield or struggle to travel,or plain just do not want to. It took a while but surely things are getting easier. My fear, one day they decide they just don't want all these foreign people living here long term. So many nations offer a poorer lifestyle that numbers must keep increasing.

Guderian Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 (edited) So if you've got the bar-coded slip and you want to do a 90-day in person what paperwork, other than your passport with the slip, do you need to bring with you now? The OP says that proof of address is no longer required. Are any copies of the passport needed, and do you still have to fill out a TM47?
