Hi everyone. 

What is the actual situation of the 90 days report online application? Do you recommend to do it? 

I heard for months that it does not work and now that I have to do it for the first time I am afraid to try and if it doesn't work, make it more complicated to later do it again by visiting the inmigration office.

TLDR : Answer Summary

The online application for the 90 days report in Thailand has seen improvements and is generally recommended for submissions made 12-15 days before the due date. Many users report mixed experiences: some found success with online applications, while others faced rejections when trying to use it for their first report or close to their deadline. Although some prefer to visit immigration offices in person for familiarity and immediate confirmation, the online process can be faster and less complicated if done correctly. It’s advised to apply sooner rather than later to allow for any potential issues that may require an in-person visit.

I think you can do it 15 days before. It worked for me last time to do it exactly on the 15th day. Tried around 7 days before and got denied at that time for some reason.

It’s super easy online it literally takes less than 10min. (Incl. approval) if done during daytime.

Much less complicated that meeting up in person, and way faster!

Well considering I just screwed up and had to go to CW to do mine and I was 197 person in the queue and it took 5 hours compared to doing it myself online in only three minutes I think I would rather do it online myself.

I’ve never done it. Over a couple of years of seeing people have problems for one reason or another I’ve just never bothered. Sort of like having to go to

****

to pay water/electricity bills. I know done is done and I have proof in hand when it’s done.

Nothing wrong with online, I just don’t trust anything without absolute confirmation.

I have done every 90 day report online, it takes 2 minutes and you receive an electronic version of the same document you get at the IO, so you can print it. What's to lose trying online 12 or 13 days in advance of the due date?

What i read is that the online application is possible only between 15 days and 7 days before the due date. Then, between 7 days before the due date and 7 days after the due date is only possible to apply in person.

I actually never used it in all my years here, I prefer to go in person show your face and they remember you after a while, it certainly has helped over the years, it makes them be more lenient in my opinion, but also depends on your office.

The online TM30 and TM47 systems were redone earlier in the year and are fairly reliable now.

Try to report online 12 or 13 days before the due date, but not less than 7 days. If they reject you, you still have time to do in-person before the due date. If they send you a new 90 day report date via email, you've saved yourself a trip to immigration.

There's no downside to trying an online application, best case it's approved, worst case it isn't and you just head on over to your local IO and do it in person. I believe there's something wrong with the system as I've been rejected for the last 4 reports even with multiple applications and over 2 weeks in advance, so I'm heading to the drive through in Chiang Mai on Monday.

@Rob ******

if you applied/submitted "over 2 weeks in advance" you will be automatically rejected.

@Wannikea ********

... I submitted 4 times from around 2 weeks down to 3 days before due date, this time and last time, rejected every time. I did online reporting many times before no problem then suddenly I started getting rejected so it's not like I'm a first time user.

@Rob ******

and what was the reason they rejected it? did you return from out of the country, do you have a current TM30 filed (the 90 day online and TM30 systems cross check addresses) did you stay some place else that filed a TM30 on you?
