December 18, 201510 yr A friend of mine from Belgium has been trying to use the 90 days reporting online from the beginning with no success, getting the error message "Contact the immigration office ....." each time. He has been in Thailand for more than 30 years, staying at the same address all this time. His given name is Jean-marc, written like this on his passport and also on his arrival/departure card. He does not have a middle name. Eventually he had a successful reporting online by writing JEAN as "Given Name" and MARC as "Middle Name". On the receipts he was getting after reporting at Chaeng Wattana his surname was written "Jean Marc" (without hyphen). Writing "Jean Marc" for "Given name" and nothing for "Middle Name" when reporting online does not work for him either. Hopefully this can help some of you.
December 18, 201510 yr Given name and middle name are non-mandatory fields. I just fill the surname field in. It's worked 3 times for me Edited December 18, 201510 yr by mxyzptlk
December 18, 201510 yr Author You are correct, my friend should have left Given name blank but he did not think about it obviously.

AFAIK individual offices don't have their own website.... Edited December 18, 201510 yr by mxyzptlk
December 18, 201510 yr Just asking for curiosity: what is written on the machine readable part (MRZ) of the passport (bottom of main page)? At a Belgian passport the first line seems to starts with: P<BEL after that follows the family name (surname). Assume its "MICHEL", then the line would start with: P<BELMICHEL<< What comes after that for the given/middle name, e.g,: P<BELMICHEL<<JEAN<MARC ? (there should be no hyphen in this MRZ) Edited December 18, 201510 yr by KhunBENQ

Might be good in similar cases, like names with non ASCII characters (umlauts, accents etc). Just leave it away, Edited December 18, 201510 yr by KhunBENQ
