Popular Post tolsti Posted June 17, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted June 17, 2016 I had to go to Immigration today at Jomtien. (the website had been down so I couldn't do online 90 day). I arrived there at 0907 and walked out at 0912 all done!!! I couldn't believe it was so quick. I didn't even have time to sit down. Barcode scanned, 3 strokes on the keyboard by the officer and the form was printed. A quick staple and fold and I was out of there. Smiles all round (both sides of the desk) Full marks to Chonburi Immigration for getting their act together. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger Lee Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 What exactly is required for the 90 day reporting? I assume it's for a non O based on retirement. I received my visa from Vientiane and got the retirement stamp approved at Chon Buri Immigration, will be due for the 90 day next month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akentryan Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Same story but they didn't even print a new form. Wrote a new date in red ink on the old one, signed it, and sent me on my way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never took me longer then 5 minutes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexlm Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 (edited) I went to Jomtien Immigration 2 hours ago. Very efficient indeed. 2 years ago, it would have taken 3 hours to get an extension. Now, everything has changed inside and optimized. More officers. More desks. Foreign English speaking staff. Highly recommended. While I would highly advise against going to Sriracha Immigration to anyone... Edited June 17, 2016 by alexlm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never took me longer then 5 minutes. If you're visiting immigration to do your 90 day report, as well as your passport, what you actually need to take is: A completed TM 47 form Your last receipt of Notification slip that's stapled into your passport (Original) plus photo copies of: Your Passport photo page Date of Arrival (Last Entry Stamp) Permit to Stay Up Until (Last Visa Stamp or Extension) TM.6 (Arrival/Departure Card) Of course if it's your first 90 day report you won't have a previous receipt of Notification slip stapled into your passport. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
novo58 Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 @ sumritAt Udon thani office ..................the ONLY thing you need for a 90 day report is your passport. No copies of anything. As stated by OP ....scan barcode on previous receipt , a few keyboard strokes , print out new receipt. Last visit I didnt even have to sign the new form as I previously had to. Again , all done in less than 1 minute ( if no-one else waiting in queue) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do mine by post and send all of the above (passport photocopy, not original), along with a SAE. If I was to visit immigration to have it done, I'd still take all the above just to be on the safe side, but I believe that now you only need your passport.

He doesn't say whether he went to Jomtien or Si Racha but I go to Si Racha where (two weeks ago) they still required the documents I posted. I'm well aware that different offices apply different rules but that's the latest from Si Racha in Chonburi. Still in and out in about two minutes though because these days there's no queue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I received my visa from Vientiane and got the retirement stamp approved at Chon Buri Immigration, will be due for the 90 day next month. "I assume it's for a non O based on retirement. " It would be for an extension of stay or an O-A visa entry, for example. If you're here on a non-imm O visa entry, you wouldn't do 90 day reports.

travelerjim Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 May I disagree with your statement... "While I would highly advise against going to Sriracha Immigration to anyone..." For many years I have used the fine services of Siricha Immigration ... always feel welcomed and promptly served. Of course I have my Thai friend with me... All smiles around and helpful exchanges by the Immigration staff and my friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrainLife Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 (edited) It seems reading here Chonburi has 2 immigrations offices Si Racha and Jomtien/Pattaya. I use the Jomtien one, only passport needed. You could also try the online option (must be at least 14 days before reporting date), but never worked for me. Lost the URL, but sure someone here knows it. You also have a one week (= 5 openings days) free of charged "too late reporting" Edited June 18, 2016 by BrainLife Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last few 90 day reports I've done at Jomtien were passport only. A few years ago, you needed the forms, copies of your passport and an electric or internet bill with your name associating you to a physical address. Now you just go with passport in hand (I think you need to fill out their form) but none of the other nonsense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thaitero Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 (edited) I read yesterday this "extra form thread" http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/926785-controversial-foreign-national-information-form-arrives-in-pattaya-being-rolled-out-nationwide/ Downloaded the form and filled in the form for my today trip to get extension for tourist visa. Maby they asked this yesterday but today nobody did not asked that so i did not leave it.. Paper "check up" guy gave me tm30 to fill. I told i have a receipt for this form stapled in my passport from my january visit in jomtien office. Oh really,, and told me to have a copy from receipt and gave me a waiting number. In and out about 40 minutes. Timing was not best one because staff eats until 1 pm but nice visit, nothing to complain..
