90 days report necessary?

I just extended my ED visa at Chaengwattana for the first time. They sticked this small paper inside. Does this mean, I don't have to file the TM47 for this time?

The woman at the information counter sent me to the 90 days report counter and gave me the form (TM47).

Thanks in advance for your help.

TLDR : Answer Summary
After extending your ED visa for the first time at Chaengwattana, it is necessary to file the 90-day report (TM47) as the paperwork provided indicates when your first report is due. You can file the report on the designated date and have a grace period of 15 days early or up to 7 days late. Additionally, you will not be able to obtain a residency certificate until you complete your normal reporting process. Various places in Bangkok allow for 90-day reporting in person if the online system is currently down.
90 DAY REPORTING RESOURCES / SERVICES
  • Use the trusted Thailand 90 Day Reporting Service to get your in-person report done and mailed to you for as low as 375 THB (even if the online system doesn't work for you).
  • For immediate assistance, contact Thai Visa Centre directly via LINE at @ThaiVisaCentre or Email them.
  • Join the Thai Visa Advice Facebook Group to ask your questions, and get advice from others.

FWIW: just so you know in Bangkok you can do 90 day reporting at 3 locations:

Main Immigration Office (Gov't Complex Chaengwattana Road Building B)

Imperial World Mall (Big C, Lad Prao, Soi 83, 5th floor)

Big C Ratburana Rd (across the river in Thonburi)

The main one is open 8:30-16:30 and the other two are open 10:30-18:30

, yep, they charge 600baht, you drop your passport off one day pick it up the next day.

On Saturdays from 8-11 you can also get 30 day extensions of stays on 30 day visa exempt stamps or tourist visas there too for a 600baht service fee in addition to the 1900baht immigration fee :O

you could NEVER do extensions online, but there for a while you could do 90 day reporting online. Unfortunately the weblink is down and has been down for quite a while so you do it in person, or mail it in.

I believe Bangkok is also at least a month turn around once you apply for the Residents permit.

So:

If doing the Extension for the first time, you won't be able to do the 'normal' 90 days report. Because of that you will NOT be able to get a resicende certificate.

Now I have to wait until October. What a bureau-crazy! 😐

 yeah, that's Swiss-bureau-crazy. Need to 'sign-out' in Switzerland and register at the embassy abroad. But because of some circumstances (insurance, taxes, ...) I can't 'sign-out' in Switzerland at the moment. So they can't not take me in the register in Bangkok and I can not get the document 😐

when you get your first extension of stay they put that paper in your passport to tell you when your first 90 day report is due. You file your 90 day report on the 19th of Oct (although you can do it up to 15 days early or 7 days after that date) ;)

, understood. It's a bummer that the residence certificates are issued from section J because that's also the section where people go to extend their tourist visas, and it can really get busy in that section.

 Have it already. The ticket lady said I have to try, she was not sure if I can get the document since I didn't have to do a 'normal' report this time 😐 Let's see if I'm lucky - she said I should try. If no luck I have to wait until October....

, okay, that means you do NOT do a 90 day report today. You do it the 19th of Oct. So don't even wait for that queue number in section A.

As far as the residency letter, you are out nothing by trying to get it. You do that in Section J. and it's 200baht (they give you a receipt) and they mail it to your address

 Yes, my first extension. Got 90 days when I entered in April.

And yes, the officer at the extension gave me this paper.

So you think I can get a certificate of residence directly now (need it for the driving license)?

 I take it this is your first extension you've gotten on that ED visa right?

If you got that paper from the officer when you got your extension you don't do a 90 day report today. You do it on the date on that paper.

Thanks, Tod. I entered on 27 April. I understand this paper as receipt about doing the report (since this time extension and report were due together). But the lady at the desk sent me to the report-place again and gave me the TM47.

Just don't wanna mess things up. :) Probably gonna wait for my number just to be sure then.

the bad thing especially on ED visas if you're studying thai at a private school is most of the time the extensions are only for 60 days NOT 90, so you need to go back and get an extension and then another month later go back AGAIN and do your 90 day report.

what is the date your extension of stay expires?
