TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is seeking advice after coming to Thailand on August 1st and realizing they need to report their stay, but haven’t done so yet. They mention a potential fine for not reporting their residence and are currently staying at an Airbnb. The conversation includes comments about filling out the TM.47 form accurately for 90-day reports, tips on providing necessary documentation for staying at an Airbnb, and advice on the timing of reporting to immigration.

Shannon Reaves that's it. make sure the TM.47's filled out 100% with the building name, address, room number, district, sub-district, city zip code etc. The only thing that slows that line down in the 90 day report room is the fact people don't fill out the form completely.

Once you do one 90 day report in person you'll be able to do them online after that.

Ok. Thks buddy. I thought I could knock it out. Haha

You CANNOT get a proof of residence certificate from the Immigration office today :/ IN bangkok you have to have filed one 90 day report BEFORE you can get a residence certificate

You get one from your consulate OR you wait until you do your first 90 day report

I really don't understand what you're trying to accomplish at immigration. The next time you have to check in is January 23. They won't let you do the 90 day check in extremely early like this...
Tod *********
And you say it looks like you'll be fined for what reason? I see you have your initial extension done already (or you wouldn't have a paper telling you when your first 90 day report is due (which is Jan 23 2019)

Ok . Makes sense. Also today is a breeze at Immigrstion. Came in at 13:00 done at 15:00. Last time I was here til 21:30

@Shannon *******
you sure that guy stamped that Oct 25th date TODAY?

I think what you did today was get a 60 day extension and it had nothing to do with that form which was in your passport from the first extension you did
Tod *********
Shannon, that was the date that started the 90 day count down clock running. Oct 25 - Jan 23 is 90 days

It was just weird bc that form was already in my passport and a guy today stamped Oct 25 in there. Little confused

@Shannon *******
(y) correct that is the FIRST 90 day report you have to do.
Shannon ********
ORIGINAL POSTER
Ok. I gotcha. They put in the date of when my notification is due on Jan 23

IDK Tod. I have no idea if I will be fined. Maybe not

you won't have any problem showing up with what ever address you're staying at in Bangkok written on the TM.47 form <- 90 day report form and filing your 90 day report
Robert *******
Bangkok Immigration office still does not enforce the address registration within 24 hours with the TM 30 form. So you visit the Immigration Office between 15 days before till 7 days after 23 Jan 2019 to make your first 90 day report

Well. The guy I saw today put another date in there which was October. That would of been my first 90 day. Since I came in Aug 1
