What is the procedure for one year reporting for the Long Term Resident Visa in Thailand?

Hi Everyone. Back in Feb I made a post seeking info one the procedure for doing the one year reporting to immigration required of the Long Term Resident Visa (LTR-P for me) as I was approching my one year mark on 12 May. I was particularly wondering about the Chonburi Immigration aoffice in Jomtien. Since not many people had done that process yet, there as little fdback, but some recommendations on who to contact. I couldnt figure out how to bumpthat post, so this is my follow up.

So I sent an email to both the Chonburi aimmigration Office and the BOI office in Bangkok. Inever got a response from the immigration office, but the BOI replied in just a few days. They attached a 14 page PDF file, mostly all in Thai, that appeared to be instructions to immigration offices on how to handle LTR applications and the one year report. In their email, the BOI pointed out the specific pages that applied to one year report. They also said that the immigration office may or may not "realize they have the authority to handle this" and I should go to the LTR one stop office in Bangkok if they won't process it.

The key forms provided the the pdf were a TM 95, "Notification Form for an Alien staying in the Kingdom lokger than one year (LTR Visa)". The other form was STM 8 "Criteria and Conditions Acknowledgement Form for a temporary stay permit in the Kingdom (LTR Visa)" Both forms had English subtitles for eac line to fill in.

The TM 95 just asked for my passport info, arrival info and my current address. The STM 8 was just a heading of my passport info then listed things not to do like get arrested.

So off I went toChonburi immigration. I brought my passport, TM30, lease, LTR Visa email from Thai embassy in US that approved the visa. Later, when I got to the counter to be helped, the sign said youneeded copy of property owners national ID card. I didnt know this, but luckily it was included as an attachment on my lease.

As to the facility, I didnt make an appointment and arrived at 0845, and the open at 0830. There were many people already there, but hardly packed. I wnetto building B, labeled Information, and walked right up to desk and told them what I was there for. They gave me a ticket that said 10A029 and directed me to building A..they have 3 different counters setup. One labeled "90 day reports; one labeled "Address Notification" and one labeled "residency certificates". My counter was labeled 10, whichis why my ticket started with 10A. Each counterhas its own ticket numbers that operate separately.

I had about 20 numbers ahead of me. It moved at a fair pace, and I was called after waiting 30 minutes. She looked at my documents, asked if this was mycurrent address, and that was prettymuch it. No other paperwork, never signed anything, and was done in10 minutes. She didnt retain any of the forms I completed. What she did do was create a new TM30 slip with todays date, and stapled it to a page in my passport.

So Iwas in and out in less than 1 hour total. Very painless and smooth. They seemed completely aware of the LTR visa and process. No pause to ask a supervisor or anything. Glad I didnt have to go to Bangkok.

That's a way too detailed report but it covers everything I did. Much easier than I expected. No online option is available and the report mustbe done between 15 days prior to arrival daye or within 7 days after.
