agogohome Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 (edited) Hi guys, It's that dreaded time of year again, and have to visit the immigration office in Phuket Town for my annual extension. I've completed all I can of the the new personal information form, now I need to know if it requires a photo - there's a space for one, but it doesn't say it's needed. Anyone? ... preferably on Phuket. Thanks Edited July 16, 2016 by agogohome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 If they have a place to put the photo I would think that means they want one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evilbaz Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 (edited) Don't forget "retirement" extensions are downstairs now (if that's what you require). Room 103, on its own. Edited July 16, 2016 by Evilbaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psimbo Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 No, if you look at the retirement extension thread I laid out what sections of the form needed completing as of 14 Jul. Be aware they are closed until 21 Jul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

agogohome Posted July 16, 2016 Author Share Posted July 16, 2016 If they have a place to put the photo I would think that means they want one. I agree, but the space is about as big as a thumbnail and I'll have to get some more photos printed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KhunBENQ Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 (edited) There is a PDF version of the form which clearly says: Photo Size 4*6 CM Not over 6 months, do not smile, proper dress with white background only That's the usually req. size. "white background" sounds like a simplified translation. A subtle problem: the provided space is too small for 4*6 cm You have to cover some of the description text above. http://news.thaivisa.com/thailand/controversial-foreign-national-information-form-arrives-in-pattaya-being-rolled-out-nationwide/146311/ http://newscontent.thaivisa.com/2016/06/22/Foreign_National_Information.pdf It seems to me that different offices have different templates/forms.

agogohome Posted July 16, 2016 Author Share Posted July 16, 2016 Still haven't got a definitive answer yet, from some that's just done it! .... does it need a photo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunBENQ Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 (edited) Yes. From what I know Edited July 16, 2016 by KhunBENQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badrabbit Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 (edited) I did mine recently no photo was required! It seems this form will need to be completed on every visit, what a joke! Edited July 16, 2016 by Badrabbit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agogohome Posted July 16, 2016 Author Share Posted July 16, 2016 Yes. From what I know photo.jpg Hmmm, the copy I was handed just has a blank square - no writing in it. Apart from that, the space is only a couple of cm's in size. See my attachment at the top of the thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aachen Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 This is a real problem. Photo yes or no?! How can this be solved? Very difficult question, need to be discussed in deep. Normally I print out 3x3 photos and if I need more than 9 it is a problem for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did my 90 day reporting a couple of days ago and picked up the new form - but nobody asked me for it Think I'll also give the photo a miss next month and see what happens.

I did my 90 day reporting a couple of days ago and picked up the new form - but nobody asked me for it Think I'll also give the photo a miss next month and see what happens. Thanks On Thursday last I did my 90 day report at Phitsanulok. Passport through scanner and printout new receipt with new date in October. I was handed one of these information forms and filled in as much as I could re addresses here and there etc. I signed it, no photo, handed it back to the young lady behind the desk and she just placed it on a pile without so much as a glance. I think they are just going through the motions to keep the guys, with heavy metal on their shirts, happy. I suspect its not worth the paper it is printed on, since most of the important details about me and my passport are all in their computer files.

JetsetBkk Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 The usual chaos. Every office to it's own Depends if they've run out of forms or not. Perhaps that nice Russian lady would like to provide some more paper for them.

Normally I print out 3x3 photos and if I need more than 9 it is a problem for me. Well, if you are not satisfied with answers from the gods of Thailand immigration on Thai Visa, perhaps you could ask the makers of the form. Yes, wow, call immigration and ask. But be warned, that asking a stupid question will net you a stupid answer. Put a dam photo there. There is a spot for one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krataiboy Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Make sure the photo shows you with a side parting on the right, no left. A new edict, apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gjoo888 Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Why not just bring a photo and only attach it if they ask for it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tapster Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 @Agogohome Thanks for the photo of the Phuket version of the form. It is all on one page, unlike the .pdf version. Would you please post another photo in high resolution, or maybe a scan of the form so that it can be printed. Then it would be possible to fill it in once and print a copy when needed. Cheers!
