KhonKaenKowboy Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 It has never taken that long before....never even 10 days. Don't know what is up...but just allow plenty of time.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyznd Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Did you send it regular mail or some other method and have you contacted immigration to make sure they got it? If regular mail and they claim they didn't get it you could get stuck with paying a late filing fee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thailand Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 A whole bunch that were sent from immigration to the post office on 21st were not received by the post office/or actioned until 26th, out for delivery today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elektrified Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Up to 30 days is normal and happens often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NancyL Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 I just got back from going to Prom. in person to file 90 day reports for Hubby and me in person. Arrived around 2:30 pm and it took longer to wait for the co-ops to clear away the Chinese tourists getting extensions crowding around the desk, check my copies and give me queue cards than it did inside the actual Imm. office. They were calling my queue numbers when I walked into the door. The super-efficient gal who was processing the 90 day reports hinted that the online system to file may be back before I have to file again. She volunteered this info, when she pointed out that she doesn't see me very often doing 90 day reports and I said that I used to do them online. Technically, I was one day outside the 7 day "grace period" and thus subject to a fine, and the co-op doing data entry pointed this out to the Imm. officer, but she let it slide, saying something about the weekend. Whew, avoided the bullet this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not like you, or did you think that as you are leaving they are no longer bothered with your bothering! But I am also confused about your 90 day timing. You stated earlier in other threads that you did an extension of visa this year (which restarts the 90 day countdown) and also that you were in Malaysia recently. So why the need for a 90 day report this month? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty easy to speak with a human. Got it today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently the registered/ems return envelopes are collected and scanned by a postman so for some reason this batch of mail was floating around the post office from collection from immigration on the 21st to "acceptance" on Sunday 26th and out for delivery on 27th.

dingdongrb Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 In and out yesterday at Prom and it took perhaps 15 mins.... I was second in the queue but the gals doing 90 day were chatting up with another person as well as getting up and acquiring more staples for the stapler.....

Trujillo Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 The 90-day reporting requirement does not "reset" when you do your retirement visa extension. Newbies get caught on this sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only time it resets is when you leave the country and re-enter and of course that's when you use a re-entry permit or else your visa extension is void.....

I go like I have gone for the past 5 years or so, around 1:30 - 2:00 pm...... The only thing I did different this time was I went on a Monday. I tend to avoid Mondays, Fridays, and any days before/after a holiday. I went yesterday as my date was actually last Friday and I was busy then. I could have waited until today but I wanted to go to Rimping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So why the need for a 90 day report this month? As stated, doing your annual extension doesn't restart the 90 day clock and the reason I'd lost track of the 90 days was because we'd returned from Malaysia in late December and thus the 90 day report slip in my passport wasn't valid. I should have written the new date (March 20) on the slip. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
