Hello. Does anyone know where should I go to report late 90 days notification. I'm late for one month. I'm currently on Non-Immigrant IB visa. Last time was in Chamchuri Square. But I'm not sure now whether I should go to Chamchuri Square or Chanwattana.

Currently on a LTR WP 10yr Visa from the BOI scheme at Chamchuri Square.

Got a new passport yesterday from my USA embassy (24 days total process time) and now need to get old LTR Visa stamp transferred into new Passport.

Are the requirements for this the same as other Visa stamps? Anyone got a list of the requirements for Chamchuri Square/BOI for a LTR Visa stamp transfer? Thanks

Update: I went this morning to Chaeng Watthana and it is quite far from sukhumvit. I didn’t have an appointment and the wait was about 30 mins to speak to an officer. Another 15 mins or so to get my passport back. They didn’t ask for a TM30 either.

They were advertising e-extension for TR visa EVERYWHERE. On their website you can submit the required docs and schedule your appointment beforehand and pay the extension fee (+additional service charge since it’s 3rd party). I imagine this is useful for people who just want to come in and get out asap. Overall about an hour of my time.

Do I need to book an appointment for an extension on a TR visa or can I walk in?

Which office is best for this? I normally go to Chamchuri Square for previous visa things. Is there a better location?

Okay let's discuss this. Earlier this week I failed to obtain my extension based on Thai marriage, and I'd like to know other's experiences to understand what went wrong.

Employment until January 29. Work permit and extension based on employment cancelled on January 29 by the company agent. Passport returned on January 30. Immigrations Chamchuri Square gave me a 21 day stamp 'to leave the country'. My work, the agent, and even officers are Chamchuri Square, all confirmed to me that this 21 day stamp CAN be changed to an extension based on marriage with Thai spouse. Had both read and heard that Cheangwatthana would require 21 days for this thing, but heard that they would give an "under consideration" stamp, from a usually exceptionally reliable source on Thai visa matters.

Made appointment with Cheangwatthana for the said extension, earliest opportunity at a convenient time (going with a minor) was Monday 12 February. Extension failed. Not only was the list of documents given by my employer hopelessly incomplete (that was a calculated risk; didn't go on the last day for this exact reason); no the real problem here was that they outright denied that the 21 day BOI status Chamchuri Square stamp did not qualify for switching. Went higher up a few times and in the end had four different officers all tell me the same thing: that stamp can NOT be switched.

The same exceptionally reliable source I referred to above told me that it was the weirdest thing he ever heard in all his dealings with Thai immigrations in his entire life (and he probably dealt more with them than anyone else who has ever lived). He said that probably a handful of the people sitting around me at that exact time would have the exact same stamp in their passport as I had, and would get the said extension without issue. Other sources who are usually similarly reliable have however told me the opposite, so fair to say, I'm confused.

In the end my company intervened and negotiated a 60 day extension based on visiting Thai family.

Maybe last thing to add: immigrations officers said also that switching to spouse extension from anything that wasn't non-immigrant type O was not possible. So as if we're back to the days without switching reason to stay, when we could only change reasons by going abroad. This somewhat improbable claim makes me still doubt whether their call to deny me the extension because that particular stamp wasn't good for switching was at all right.

So I do not really know what my rights were at the time. Do they normally switch that 21 days stamp from Chamchuri Square to other extension types? Or not? Was the mistake to cancel the WP and work-based extension on the last day? Would they change extensions then? Does it require having 15 days remaining (the 21 days that I saw on the immigrations website turned out to be 15 instead so could have gone in the first days of my 21 days Chamchuri stamp in retrospect). Have they stopped doing extensions for spouse with anything other than non-O perhaps since this year?

Any experiences/insights are welcome.

On a 1yr first extension Non-O (Retirement)

My first 90 day report was due Oct 5. I applied online a week ago and it’s still showing pending. My TM-30 address in Bangkok is still the same as the day I entered.

I understand I have 7 days After due date to apply in person. Can I apply in person at Chamchuri Square or do I need to go all the way out to Chaeng Wattana? Thanks!

I have a Non O Multiple Entry. I entered Thailand on 5 May. My 90 day report was due 2 August. I did the online report on 27 July (7 days early). Today I received this email advising me that my report has been rejected as submitted "more than 10-15 days in advance" I understood you can submit up to 15 days early. I'm also confused by the resubmission date they advise 07/09/2023. Just did the report in person at Chamchuri Square. Officer said an immigration officer had put my entry date as 10 June. That's why the rejection advised me to resubmit on 7 September.

Hi all can you please help.

Last year I was on a 1 yr business visa and a 1 yr work permit.

I did my 90 day reports at Phathum Thani immigration where I obtained that visa. ( close to my place of work )

Have just obtained a 2 yr work permit and 2 yr visa under the BOI at Chamchuri Square.

Question :-

Can I continue to do my 90 day reports at Phathum Thani immigration ?

I know I should have asked this question at Chamchuri Square but with everything that was going on it completely slipped my mind.

Thank you in advance.
