New Twist for 90 Day Reporting at Jomtien Immigration

[chicowoodduck]

Went to do my 90 Day Report at Jomtien today....just like I've been doing for the last 14 or so years.....was asked to fill-out a 3 page form with a picture attached??? Things like my bank account number, email address, local bars I hang out in, eye., etc......I filled in my local address and left the rest of the form blank....got a blank stare back and my 90 day report back date in my passport and called it a day.....was told that only have to do the new form once and just bring in my passport the next time.....lol...?

Very Junta like i would say.

Make sure you take a photo of yourself with you. Or if you forget, see if you can borrow one from someone else.

What a load of old cobblers this form is. Like the OP Mr Duck, my particulars have been on record for a long time - 25 years in my case.

So, what info is required: frequently used social media; vehicle; frequently visited places (Central Festival for a cup of tea );bank account number (no flipping way). Oh, and there's a page for additional information - absolutely no idea what they expect us to write in this area, as there are no guidelines. (I feel like being facetious.) Maybe a confession of past sins? Nah, I'm an altar boy.

This don't sound to good.

anyone else had this yet at Jomtien immigration ?

There have been sporadic reports of similar forms from other immigration offices throughout Thailand but I think this is the first report from Jomtien.

Nothing to be alarmed about...the op states he just put down his address, like always required in the old form, and nothing more. It sounds like things may be easier after as apparently the proof of address doesn't have to be provided for future reports.

No need to read into it more than there is.

Thanks for posting, I need to go soon. Usually they just scan my bar code and I am off in five minutes or less. Is everyone being asked to do this now? Guess I'll bring a photo and proof just in case.

[chicowoodduck]

I had to draw a line in the sand when they ask what my mother's maiden name was and my father's name?????

The good news was that I got there early in the day, so had time to check the form out and have a good laugh....?

[KhunBENQ]

Ouch, the infamous form has reached Jomtien

Am hot topic since about April.

When I read the first report about it I believed in a bad joke.

Everyone is being given one today. There's a helpful foreign volunteer to help you fill it in...

And a photo is required.

[Jingthing]

Then it just started. Ugh.

[peeba7]

BTW I was told rental receipts are no good for one year extensions now. I can offer them for the retirement extension a written and signed agreement between the landlord and I. I would like to hear from those that were using receipts and now can not and how it went and if a written agreement is OK.

I had to do one for my Lao girlfriend. I just put a line straight through most of the sections and it was accepted without question. The biggest pain was having to get another photo done.

[peeba7]

Is this the same new form or a different new form they now give you for the retirement extension?

[ripstanley]

A new news topic has been started with a link to the form.

Anybody know if you can download this new form from the internet ?????? Might be handy to pre fill out before my next visit just in case I get asked

I suggest we use that section to describe our birth marks, scars, and tattoos - so that our corpses can be easily identified.

Thank you for your opinion , but its not required.

Any requirement for more paper work is a pain.

Give it a few more years and they will require your finger prints.

im sure that will be fine for all

I was in there this last Monday (20th) with only my passport and was never given any forms to fill and was out in less than 5 minutes.

Yes it apparently just started. Maybe it will pass ...

[peeba7]

Yes AND like mentioned here, no questions were asked at all regarding the info nor was it checked so do with it as you please for now, using blanks or lines or I simply put N.A.

[onemorechang]

N/a is accepted today.

Tomorrow it may not be. What will you all say, pixx off ?

Tomorrow always comes in Thailand.

I was told that the form only needs to be completed ONCE....so now that I've done my first one, only bringin my passport on the next visit.....maybe?????

[Oink]

If you are on a retirement extension they already have most of this information. At least you don't need to get another letter from your bank.

[joepattaya1961]

Some months ago this form was introduced in Phuket; the new immigration-officer there got a slap on the wrist and the form was with-drawn.

And now suddenly the form pops-up in Jomtien?

Might be a good idea to squat and leave them a nice steaming pile of DNA too.

If you are required to leave a photograph etc how do you do that if you report on line.

"There's a helpful foreign volunteer to help you fill it in..."

That would be a change. Most of the foreign volunteers that have appeared at Jomtien have been clueless, intrusive wastes of space.

I have been using a written agreement from my apartment manager for years without any problems, but it is a rental contract, so it looks somewhat like a formal document not just a note on paper if you follow me>

[JESSVANPELT]

If you are required to leave a photograph etc how do you do that if you report on line.

you go next door and get a photo taken.....

It does say "optional" for social media and where you hang out.

*** I put D3030 thaivisa.com

Bank info.. Depends on what type of visa you have.

Pic.. No big deal..

I didn't get any gay or blank stares..

You must be special to get the blank stare..
