Update:
My first 90 day reporting on a 1yr Non-O Visa extension.
Some people said I could apply for my first 90 day report Online and I had a chance of being accepted.
I went online and submitted my TM47 10 days prior to my Oct 5 due date. Today since it still was showing “pending” I decided to go ahead and make the trip out to Changwattana and do it in person. Got in the que w 90 people in front of me. Waited nearly 2 hrs and 10 min before they called me up the online submission came back “rejected”.
When they called me up I asked why it was rejected and she said “In Bangkok, your 1st 90- day report must be submitted in person and now your second 90 day reporting can now be done online”.
She only wanted to see a new TM47 filled out and a copy of my TM30. She didn’t need a copy of my passport and only needed my original. Didn’t ask me anything else except what my cellphone number was.
Took about 5 mins and she handed me my passport back. Then she said “your next 90-day report can be done online up to 15 days prior to the due date BUT must be submitted at least 7 days before the due date to give us ample time to process it. If done less than 7 days before the due date it will prob be rejected and u will need to come in person one the date it is due or no more than 7 days after the due date”.
I hope this helps to clarify the 1st 90-day online submission. I would still encourage others to try it first time. Give them at least 7-15 days prior to the due date for a better chance. But also remember she also said my 1st submission needed to be “in-person”. I suspect though some are being approved while others are not.
