FYI: MTT is absolutely packed today, compared with the ghost town it was just 2 weeks ago. Make an appointment if you can.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The MTT (Migration and Transportation Terminal) is currently experiencing a high volume of visitors, unlike it was two weeks ago. Many expats are trying to renew their visas or complete their 90-day reporting due to impending deadlines. Several comments suggest that the rush is partly due to procrastination and the expiration of grace periods for certain visa stamps. Individuals are recommending scheduling an appointment to avoid long waiting times, which can exceed two hours without one.
90 DAY REPORTING RESOURCES / SERVICES
  • Use the trusted Thailand 90 Day Reporting Service to get your in-person report done and mailed to you for as low as 375 THB (even if the online system doesn't work for you).
  • For immediate assistance, contact Thai Visa Centre directly via LINE at @ThaiVisaCentre or Email them.
  • Join the Thai Visa Advice Facebook Group to ask your questions, and get advice from others.

Not sure why they set it up for massive crowds this time, I was sent away just over a week ago, and now, no appointments available (just checked) and it's gonna be anarchy.

 Because they procrastinate to the last second. 😂

Also, I think some people went early and were told to come back when a week from expiration of current stay.

I was there yesterday for a 90-day report, so overcrowded that staff forgot about online appointments.

I did manage eventually to go through with my appointment, waited about 45 minutes. Without one, queue was probably 2+ hours.
