hi - I am a bit worried now. Yesterday I did my 2nd tm47 online and today I see a mail from immigration saying : your application for staying longer than 90 days has been rejected

and : please contact the nearest immigration office immediately in person.

That doesn't sound good.

Any guesses? I have done nothing not been involved with police or anything.
Answer summary
The user's application for an extension exceeding 90 days has been automatically rejected, prompting concern. However, responses from the community suggest that this might be a common computer-generated glitch and advise the user that they need to reapply in person rather than panicking. It's highlighted that rejections can occur frequently and members have shared similar experiences, indicating that persistence in reapplications may lead to eventual approval.

Try again online and if it fails then go to imm before due date.

No need to worry at all, not in the least

It's a computer generated rejection and that's just what it says when the email goes out

You don't have to drop everything and run to the immigration office, it just means you have to go apply in person (which you can do from 2 weeks before the due date down until 1 week after the due date)

Remember at a LOT of offices now the online window to apply is from 2 weeks before the due date until 1 week BEFORE the due date <- giving you only a one week window to apply online,

If you have time before your due date you can apply again, worst they can do is reject it πŸ˜• I once applied FOUR times to get a 90 day report thru. It was rejected 3 times, and I kept fiddling with how I typed in the address until finally they let it go thru and I was approve πŸ˜›

thanks a lot Tod - I was really worried but not anymore πŸ˜ŠπŸ‘It was the word "immediately" that made me think this is a serious matter (πŸ˜…)

For the life of me I don't know why they have it worded that way πŸ˜•

You're fine get there within the in person reporting window (up to 7 days after the due date) and you'll be fine (y)

good advise. It's a 90 day report it's not big deal like they will refuse Yiu to allow to stay. Just go into the immagration office and donut manually. It's happened to me also just unconvinced but no problem

I have used the online reporting for years without any problems, 3 months ago applied, rejected, tried again rejected. Same this time, applied last Friday, due date 26th, rejected. Tried again yesterday, rejected. I think it is a problem with the system. Will try again today if rejected will go in.

@Mervyn *******
the online 90 day report system now cross checks addresses with the TM30 system SO if you don't have a current TM30 filed (or you stayed some place IN thailand that filed one on you while you were there) it will mismatch and reject it

got no idea why it's not going thru, sorry about that sir πŸ™

Report date is the 26th so i filed last Friday the 13th. Filed again yesterday, just filed again. No auto fill. Reporting in person is not a problem, just easier online.

@Mervyn *******
and when you fill out the online 90 day reporting form on the first page you make sure your current extension expiration date is filled in correctly (if you use auto fill and have gotten an extension it puts the last date you used when a report was approved)

Are you filing from 2 weeks before down until 1 week BEFORE the due date?

That seems to be the window that more and more offices are following now so it just gives you a week to file online

Other than that I don't know what it could be, sorry, πŸ™

I have had a TM30 registered at the same address for the last 17 years. Not been anywhere recently in Thailand or abroad.
