ORIGINAL POSTER
I'm doing my first 90 day report in Bangkok in person after converting my non-O visa into a one year retirement visa. I have the small slip the immigration office gave me and my stamped passport. Is the 14 day prior and 7 day after reporting day rule still in effect? What other items do I need or are recommended that I bring with me? Is there a form I can pick up at the information desk? What copies, if any, should I make before I enter the queue? Thank you in advance.

TLDR : Answer Summary
This user is preparing for their first 90-day report in person in Bangkok after converting a non-O visa into a one-year retirement visa and seeks clarification on the reporting rules, required documents, and procedures at the immigration office. Key points mentioned include the validity of the 14-day prior and 7-day after reporting rule, which is still in effect. Recommended documents to bring include the TM30 form and the TM47 form, which can be obtained at the immigration information desk or downloaded. No copies are needed for the report in Bangkok, and some users suggest that online reporting or mailing the report could be alternatives.

Always do early, I'd never go after the stamped date, sometimes something goes wrong and you need those extra days to fix things.

Save yourself a trip and mail it in. Or try online first and see if they reject. They normally respond in hours. Many people including myself have successfully did first 90 day online. It doesn't hurt to try or but they accept mail in regardless. Just go to post office. You have options. I know in issan it's to do first 90 day online. Bangkok is different but they online first. The most that can happens is they don't accept it. There is a video from immigration and it does not state it's mandatory to report online. My wife showed me the video. More than willing to show proof of mine

you go to the main immigration office at Chaengwattana and you want section A (the 90 day report room)

Yes, you can file a 90 day report in person from 2 weeks before until 1 week after the due date

TM30 (which should be in your passport anyway)

Get the TM47 form at the desk when you go in OR download it from the imimgration website

None, there are no copies required in Bangkok to do a 90 day report
