What is the process after submitting a TM47 online for a 90-day report in Thailand?

Question

TM47. I just applied online and straight away received an email back saying they had received my information successfully and giving me a reference number. 
A pdf of the TM47, filled in with the information was attached.

Question 1: is that all there is or do I need to do something else ? Reading posts and comments, this seems too easy and too good to be true.

Question 2: on the form, none of the boxes for Visa are ticked… did I miss something when I applied. The only box to be ticked when I filled in the application was about business visa (? ). So I didn’t tick anything.

Should I go to the immigration office in person (where should I go ? I’m in BKK) with a printed copy of the pdf to sort this out ?

Thank you for any advice. ( I’ve already posted this in a Fbk group with the same name… I’m a bit confused. I wanted the group where Tod Daniels is giving advice 😊… )

After submitting the TM47 form online, you will receive an acknowledgment email, which does not indicate approval. You should wait a few days for a follow-up email confirming the application status. If no visa boxes are ticked on the form, it's typical as the PDF is often submitted partially filled out. There is no need to visit the immigration office unless specifically instructed, as waiting for the official email response is advisable.

1) Shortly after submitting a TM.47 online, you will receive an email acknowledgment that Thai Immigration received your application. This is not the same as approval.

2) A few days later (actual time can and will vary), following review of your application, you will receive another email from Thai Immigration. It will say if your TM.47  is *approved* or *rejected.* If the latter, you will be told what you need to do to remedy the situation.

Do not wait until the last minute to file a TM.47 online or in person in case you experience problems.

I successfully submitted my first TM.47 online to Chiang Mai Immigration.

Note: In Chiang Mai, if the address you enter on your TM.47 does not match the most recent TM.30 on record with Thai Immigration, your application will be rejected.

I did mine online on Sunday (2nd time) and had approval on Monday, hopefully you shouldn't have to wait long.

you're getting the cart before the horse

The confirmation you got is ONLY that you successfully submitted a 90 day report online

NOT that it has been approved

The PDF they send you of the TM47 is always "half filled out" that's just how they send them back BUT all your info was submitted to the system

𝗦𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗜 𝗴𝗼 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗶𝗺𝗺𝗶𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻 (𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗜 𝗴𝗼 ? 𝗜’𝗺 𝗶𝗻 𝗕𝗞𝗞) 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗮 𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗰𝗼𝗽𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗱𝗳 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗼𝘂𝘁 ?

NO, do nothing and wait until you either get an approval email or a rejected email
