TLDR : Answer Summary
The community shared various experiences regarding the 90-day check-in process with Thai immigration. Many found it to be quick and straightforward, with some opting for online submission of the TM47 form while others delivered it in person at immigration offices. Typically, this process involved filling out the TM47 form, including necessary passport copies, and visiting the appropriate immigration office. Most respondents reported that the entire check-in process took only a few minutes, emphasizing the simplicity of the obligation.

No use when you don’t tell which of the 88 or so Immigration Offices.

Look at their website.

In Hat Yai I filed TM47 online, of course it was rejected because it always is the first time.

So I printed the online submitted TM47, together with copies of DTV, visa stamp, page with personal data passport. Delivered everything at the immigration office and within 5 minutes I had the receipt.

I really don't know why so many people make a problem of it. Also I do not see any reason why you not should do such a simple obligation.

@Masako ********
no, I’ve never been asked even when I’ve had to visit immigration for something or other, seriously don’t listen to the fear mongerers

So you have no experience and should not post here because experiences were asked.

But of course you want to tell everybody in a very cool way that you ignore the rules and go your own way.

I know, but that is not something you should be proud of and need to post here.

Of course there always will be a group visiting the country with disrespect for everything, it is difficult to exclude them for getting a visa.

In chiang mai immigration (airport): printed the tm47 and filled it at home. Went straight to the drive thru handing over the TM47, TM30 and passports. It took 5 minutes.

Filled in the form. Got copies of passport data page, current extension, last entry stamp, TM30. Strolled past my local post office. Sent them via EMS with a return addressed envelope. Went to have a beer. Job done
