90 day residency check

I had my first 90 day visit in Jomtien today. I went through the Embassy website to see what I needed.

Passport

Copy of Passport

Copy of Stamps page

Copy of Visa

T47 - I downloaded it and filled it out

Receipt from landlord when they filed the TM30

I had read that Tues - Thursday are the best days. Go early. I got there at 8:15 (they open at 8:30).

Go to offices on right side that say 90 Day Residency. Dont go to the left side which is for other business with Immigration

I was about 10th in line. They take and check that your paperwork is complete and give you a number to wait to be called.

There were only 2 guys in front of me for the T47 line. The other 7 were there for something else. After 10 minutes they called my number. Gave me back my passport and a receipt that I had filed. I was done. I was so surprised that I asked her twice if I was finished. The Immigration officer pointed towards the door and said "Finished".

That was it. 10 minutes.

I was apprehensive because this was my first time. Easy as cake.

Hope this helps someone who has never done it before.

The post describes a user's first experience with the 90-day residency check in Jomtien, Thailand. They detail the necessary documents, including a filled T47 form, passport copies, and a landlord receipt for the TM30. The user recommends visiting on Tuesday to Thursday early in the morning, not to rush, and to go to the right side of the immigration office designated for 90-day checks. They found the process efficient, taking only 10 minutes once their number was called.

I assume you applied in Hanoi and your documentation was the problem. I have helped over 20 persons get the DTV, not a single one has been rejected.

There are no easy countries, rather sold applications.
