Can I report my 90-day visa requirement and extend my NON-IMM Retirement Visa in Bangkok instead of Chonburi?

ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi Guys,

I have a NON-IMM (Retirement )Visa (Multiple Entry) that was issued in November 2017. At the time, as this was my first application, I used the services of an agent here in Bangkok. For some reason, and I was not informed at the time, the agent applied for and had the visa issued at Chonburi Immigration. I now have 2 questions, both related:

1. As I’ve been flying in and out of Thailand on a regular basis I have not faced the need, until now, to do my 90 day reporting. Will I be allowed to do my 90 day reporting at Immigration Division 1 Office, The Government Complex, Chaengwattana Rd or will I be required to report at Chonburi Immigration? (Please note I am the owner of a Condo and I live on Sukhumvit Soi 24). Today I tried to use the online 90 day reporting but unfortunately, without providing any reason, my application was rejected.

2. I am looking to Extend my visa for another year at the end of September, this time on my own, 45 days before the current visa expires. Again, will I be allowed to extend the Visa at the Immigration Division 1 office or will I be forced to travel to Chonburi?

Any help and guidance that can be provided by the group on the above would be very much appreciated.

A massive thanks in advance.

Okay, you have some good and some crap advice here.:O

It's NOT uncommon for agents to get yearly extensions via the back door from the Chonburi Immigration office.

You do NOT need to file a TM.30 living in bangkok so disregard that information.

When you FIRST 90 day report is due, 89 days after you entered the country last take a TM.28 <- change of address form AND a TM.47 <-90 day report form to the main immigration office at Chaengwattana. You want section A. They do 90 day reports and changes of address. File the change of address and the 90 day report at the same time. That will get you IN the system here in bangkok and let you do your 90 day report. KEEP the recipt from the change of address because they'll wanna see it when you go to get your new yearly extension in bangkok because believe me even though you didn't pay any attention to where your stamps came from the immigration office will.

Once you file the TM.28 change of address you're good to use Chaengwattana for your yearly extension application ,.
