ChrisKC Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 My latest 90 Day report was due on 19th July. In anticipation of the long holidays including this date I filed a report by post, sending it EMS on Tuesday, 12th. My SAE (return envelope) had only the ordinary Thai postage stamp but as I write it hasn't arrived. How can I tell if it has been processed? Once I know it has my stress levels reduce and I wait with patience for the slip to arrive. My official office to report is Chiang Mai but right now I am in Surat Thani. To prevent the problem for some reason that the process has not been completed, I feel that on Monday, with one day of the grace period remaining, I go to the Surat Immigration Office and try to do it there. Yes, I have copies of the original slip in my iPad and in print form. Suggestions as to my best options will be appreciated. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunBENQ Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 (edited) What does EMS tracking say for the letter sent to the office? Delivered when? The return envelope is addressed to your Chiang Mai domicile? Who or when was the post box checked last time? Surat Thani will probably refuse to do anything. Since long the 90 day report is only processed at the office responsible for your home address. Edited July 23, 2016 by KhunBENQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisKC Posted July 23, 2016 Author Share Posted July 23, 2016 I have applied for the 90 day from my home address in Chiang Mai. My return envelope hasn't arrived there. I just happen to be in Surat now with no plan to return to Chiang mai in the next few days. I haven't checked if it actually arrived, I have never done this and always assumed it arrived. My Post office receipt I have but not sure how to check. Where do I go? On the receipt there looks like a Tracking number with seven digits - is that the one? If so, do I need to go to a website or the Post Office? Thank you for your time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colabamumbai Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Don't worry some offices process it quickly, others slowly. My last two receipts with my new reporting dates were counted from the date the office processed them, confusing me at first with reporting times seemingly shortened. They did not count the 90 days from the 90 day date, on the notice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisKC Posted July 23, 2016 Author Share Posted July 23, 2016 If there is national computer database relating to foreigners and their Immigration history, Can the Surat Office tell me if my 90 day processing has occurred in Chiang Mai? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for your time EMS tracking site is here. http://track.thailandpost.com/tracking/default.aspx It is probably to early to expect that the report receipt would of been received yet at your home since immigration and the post office was closed for 5 of the days since your sent it. You may of been late sending it to CM immigration. Info here states it should be sent 15 days early. http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/557382-90-day-report-procedures/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example if I forgot to enclose all the correct information. They have my email address and personal mobile number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJ Madcow Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Phone the Immigration office and ask them. The one time mine (Nonthaubri) didn't come back in time, My Thai wife phone them and ask. And Nonthaburi Immigration look in the IT system, and told her they post it day before we call, so on the way. It can give you some peace in mind to know every thing is fine... Kindly.

terminatorchiangmai Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 I always use EMS return , so you can track the mail. It is worth the 13 baht extra ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have done it before and I know it makes sense. I am getting old: How can you rely on a man who has started to confuse shaving cream with toothpaste and can't get the top off his yoghurt?

ChrisKC Posted July 27, 2016 Author Share Posted July 27, 2016 I can advise that I received my envelope with the content of goodies as evidence I am fine for another 90 days. Thank you for all those who contributed to this thread, in particular those who were positive about the outcome. Regards to all Chris 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
