KarenBravo Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 I, too, put on a shirt and long trousers every time I go to immigration, but, that's just hypocrisy on my part. This is Phuket for Crissake! Considering their charge for paperwork that should be free, and other earners through all the agents and that this is a tropical island that relies on tourism, we should be allowed to dress as we want and sod their snowflake sensibilities.....

Coconut Kidd Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 Nothing wrong with a polo shirt, preferably one without Glock, Chang or Ferrari patches on it, and a nice pair of khaki shorts, clean and pressed of course. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no any problem when you where a polo shirt with shorts as long they are no to short. But it is a different story with people (man or woman) start wearing fish net shirts with their nipples sticking through, shorts which are 10 sizes to small, 2 weeks unwashed clothes or still have the beach sand between their toes. Call me old fashion but i don't think that this is appropriate besides not allowed in a government building.

Chainsaw Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 My 90 day report must have broken all records yesterday. Walked in, was given a number which was called out as soon as I got it. Went to the desk and handed my passport over and was out of there in less than 5 minutes. The guy even wished me Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year!

KarenBravo Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 Could it be that this new-found efficiency when doing 90 day reports, is due to more and more people doing it online? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always think by myself would they dress the same if they go to a government building in their own country. I do!

I was there today for 90 day report and had to wait 1hour plus and it was IMO a bit chaos and the queue/ waiting area had changed from last year. What I don't understand is that a person who require only a two minutes job have to sit and wait for a lot of people with massive paperwork to get through for the IO! On the positive side there was no question to me about reregistration of address and I was out of country 2+ months late last year + stayed in a hotel a couple of nights with visiting family at one of the beach resorts here before Christmas. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What time did you go in? I tend to leave it until about 1400 to go in. I agree about getting stuck behind all the paper crunchers. At one point they had one of the university students working the line and if she knew you were a '90 dayer' she would just go forth and get a ticket for you. It wan't in operation last time I was in but the Vols were not busy once the post lunch rush had cleared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I agree and in my previous experience afternoon is better for 90 day reports and had actually planned to do it tomorrow afternoon but had time available before noon today so dropped by there about 1045 and was just out again before they closed to lunch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't had to either but times and rules have changed, if you leave the country and return to the same address as you lived at when you left and report it on your arrival card there is no problem If when you return you put a new address on your arrival card you then have to confirm this address with a notification form from your house master at the phuket immigration office within 24 hours or you can be fined for not doing it Same if you travel within Thailand, if you stop in paid accomodation booked in your name and they inform immigration of it, which they are legally obliged to do that then becomes your address in Thailand and you have to re-register your Phuket address when you return to Phuket within 24 hours We normally travel by road and my wife books the accommodation in her name which solves this problem, only once have i booked accommodation in my own name and that was when i used my credit card, in future if i use my credit card to book accommodation on the internet i will put it in my wifes name also so my address in Thailand does not change Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the same problem last week. I went to the 90 day online reporting thread in the Thailand Visa Information section and read back few pages. There was a tip saying not to fill in non-stared fields. I tried that and it worked. It went through and was approved the next day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
