TLDR : Answer Summary
The online 90-day reporting process in Thailand generally works well for many users, with reported success rates of around 85-90%. Users have noted that it's essential to fulfill certain criteria, including having done at least one in-person report and ensuring your immigration office participates in the online system. The reporting can be completed between 15 and 7 days prior to the due date, and it's recommended to turn off any pop-up blockers. Some users still prefer the postal method due to its simplicity and effectiveness.

Guys, while I understand the benefits of using the system, when it works, going the postal route is simple and in my experience 100% effective.
James **********
Yes it works if you adhere to the instructions given by Tod Daniels....I just did my first 5 minutes ago.
Tod *********
I've tried over 100 passports of people and have about an 85-90% success rate.

The criteria to get it to work are

turn OFF any pop up blocker programs

you need to have done at least ONE 90 day report in person or by mail

you need to be in an area where the immigration office is participating in the system <- it's country wide but some offices opted out. :/

you need to apply online from 15 days before down until 7 days before

IF you have done all those you should be able to get the system to work.

**ONLY fill out the fields that have a red asterisks on the first page.

nope, that's it.

@Tod ********
And do I need to bring anything other than passports, arrival cards, completed tm.47? Copies of things?
Nim *****
So basically it's the same insane queue. Better to go early.
Tod *********
@Nim ****
you can go when ever you want to they're open from 8:30 - 4:30, closed from 12 - 1 for lunch and stop giving out queue tickets at 3:30 in the afternoon>

If you're going early you're going to line up with everyone.
Nim *****
Thanks. Do I need to go in the insane line in the morning, or is that a different system?

@Nim ****
, seeing as it's your first time you can't use the online program AND you're too late to mail it in too (has to be postmarked 14 days before your due date).

You DO go to Chaengwattana and can't use Cham Churi.

BUT

you don't need to take your dependent with you and can do a 90 day report for them without a problem with just their passport and a filled out TM.47 form

I'm guessing I cannot use this system as this is my first time doing a 90 day checkin (deadline April 6, 2019, 6 days from now). Do you have the link or instructions for the mail in form? Do I have enough time to do it? If I do go in person, do I have to go to Chaengwatthana (where I usually go for immigration) or could I do it for Chamchurri Sq. I ask because I also have a dependent, and I would rather not have to pull her out of school to do the check in.

Thanks for trying.

@Robert ******
IF you can't get it to go thru filling only the red asterisks stuff AND using the calendar drop down to pick the dates (not filling it in) I dunno. I got no answer for you then. Sorry. :(

Always return by air. My last return was may last year.
Tod *********
@Robert ******
and did you enter the country AFTER 2012 by air OR after 2014 by land? Those seem to be the cut off dates of having your TM.6 departure card in the system. before those dates you can't use the online program.

My report is due on Feb 22, I've reported in person regularly for over 3 years. And only filled out the asterisk panels.
Tod *********
@Robert ******
IF you have met those previous things I just mentioned try again, BUT this time ONLY fill out the data with the red asterisks
Tod *********
@Rob***
Ahhh now we're getting somewhere,.

You're getting the ERROR message :O

Are you sure you

--have filed ONE 90 day report in person

--are applying from 15 days BEFORE down until 7 day BEFORE your actual due date

Sorry, still not loading page two. Here's what happens on Safari, Chrome and Firefox... I get a pop up window, then the page loading times out. If I close the popup, it returns to page one.
Tod *********
@Robert ******
turn OFF your pop up blocker if you have on on

It works fine in safari

I have tried several times to do this online, following your instructions. It doesn't take me to the second page, just hangs there saying it's loading the next page, but never does. I've tried 3 different browsers. I use a mac, is that an issue?

@Cheryl *********
I mean in recent history, (NOT something like I did one 3 years ago) ;)

@T**
, when you say you have to have done one 90 day report in person or by mail, do you mean ever, or for the current extension? (asking in context of year-long over 50 extension of stay)

my province is Mae Hong Son, is there a list of participating provinces?
Robert *******
You can use this, after you made your first report in person, asked the Immigration Officer if their office participate in the on-line reporting. Than you can fill in questions between 15 and 7 days before your due date.

Worked twice for me.

First time I waited a day. The second time 2 days.
