TLDR : Answer Summary
The user has recently moved from Kanchanaburi to Bangkok and is struggling to complete their first 90-day report as appointments at Bangkok immigration are fully booked. Community responses suggest that walking in for the report is a common practice and generally accepted. Other options mentioned include mailing the report, hiring an agent, or ensuring that the TM30 registration matches the current address. There is also a reminder that the first report must be done in person, but subsequent reports could be completed online if the address remains unchanged.

The 90-day report requirement reminds me I've been home too long! So why don't you take a weekend in Singapore. You'll enjoy some great food and then reset the Thailand clock. Win-win!

Make sure your latest tm30 matches the address you are using for 90 day report. If they do not match your reporting will be rejected on line. If in doubt just file another tm30 with your current address and try 90 day report again.

You can report 14 days prior and 7 days after just walk in update your new address also

Okay, what do you want to add with your post

Walk-in

Do it by mail. I've done it that way for years

Just wait till you go for your extension. You can pay the 2000 baht fine then.

a better option than paying an agent three times between extensions (the fine is 2000B btw)

yes most people just walk in. Note that in bkk you must do your first 90-day in person, and after that if your address does not change, and you fill out your online form EXACTLY as your prior form, you can do it online going forward

@Craig *******
You can do the first one by mail. That's the easiest

Agents do for you around 500-1000. Walking in,getting there at 1pm could take you 2-3hours for your turn to be called. By the way, you must have registered the new tm.30 with BKK address before checking in your 90 day.

Why hire an agent when it's so easy to do yourself

nothing like a grand day out at changy, get your queue and enjoy. Ride the escalators and savor the culinary delights of the food hall. Check your queue on the phone, still time for a run on the track, then back in for the glorious report. โค๏ธ๐Ÿ‘„๏ฟฝ

Some of us value convenience. I can make money, but I can't make time. Agent every time

Yes. A majority walkin. Mailing in your report is also an option.
