TLDR : Answer Summary

As of May 13, 2024, first-time requests for a 90-day notification in Thailand require an in-person visit to the immigration office. Numerous users shared their experiences confirming this requirement, with some mentioning that online applications can lead to rejection, often due to discrepancies with the TM30 form. Comments highlight frustrations with the process, suggesting that using an agent may alleviate the need for in-person visits.

I've never seen that message before. I did my first 90 day report on line without an issue on returning from UK. 90 day reports are usually rejected because tm30 is not up to date so does not tally with the address put on the application.

This email received today from Immigration in Bangkok. TM30 is up to date and address is correct.

More and more ridiculous. So every time we come back to the country, we have to go the immigration madhouse, and spend half a day.

I was told all reports could be done online but when I tried my first report online, it was rejected in Feb. Instead of going in person, I hopped over to sg for a weekend to visit friends. In May I was able to do my report online. Krabi province.

maybe that has changed or they got lucky, but generally first time need to present in person. That's sort of makes sence as they want to see you face to face after that they don't seem to care if done online or in person.

It's office dependent. Some allow you to submit online the first time, some do not, you were then too.
