I sent a 90 day report by registered post on 12 March enclosing all documents listed on the immigration website and a stamped addressed envelope. I sent it to the address stated on the website. On the Thai Post tracking website it says it was delivered to Laksi post office. I sent it over a week before the due date. I haven't received anything back yet and the reporting window has passed. I tried phoning the numbers on the website but the 1178 one just says sorry all our agents are busy please call back later before hanging up and the other one says "for English press 1" and then starts talking in Thai and hangs up. I sent an email but no reply. Of course, the obvious solution is to slog it up to Chaengwattana but the whole point of doing it by post was to avoid that. Any suggestions? This was the first 90 day report at this address, this passport and this entry.

Seeking clarification -

When applying for the one year extension of stay based on the initial Non O retirement (90days) at counters L at CW - bangkok- we bring back the same lot of documents - housebook lease bank statement etc and get the passport stamped the same day or is there again a 15 days consideration period ?

Basically we get it the same day just planning one full day sitting there correct?

Yesterday I reported my 90-day online. I was very surprised to get the approval e-mail this morning, it took less than 24 hours, never happened before. My immigration office is Chaengwattana, Bangkok. 🙏🏻

HI, where can I do the 90-day reporting in Bangkok? (It's my first time so I need to do it in person). Is it Chaengwattana office or can I do it at the One Stop in Chamchuri? (I'm on a nonB) And is it possible to make an appointment first to avoid long queues? (I searched online but couldn't find where to book an appt.)

I got a new passport and need to transfer the stamps over to a new passport.

Is there any cost associated with this?

What's the process?

Anyone open to sharing their experience?

Edited to add new context:

Evidently Chaengwattana does NOT typically need a TM-27 (despite the comments below). The situation that makes this different is that I have not filed a 90 day report at my new home in Bangkok (because I've left the country multiple times and not stayed long enough for a 90 day report) so my last 90 day report from last year still reflects my old address. That's the cause of the situation and need to return next week.

----

Saw a related topic and thought I'd share a cautionary tale from today's visit to Chaengwattana. Error on my part, hopefully will get it worked out. Hadn't heard of this happening before, but I'm sure it has. Immigration officer said I was the second person today with a similar experience. Had been living in Hua Hin for a couple years then started to split my time with a place I rented in Bangkok.

Did the last two extensions of stay in Hua Hin (over 50, non-O). Last year, I left my place in Hua Hin and have been living exclusively in Bangkok. Did the Bangkok TM 30 once I moved for good, but did not file a change of address TM-27 (cue foreboding music).

Today I tried to get a new extension. Had every bit of paperwork I thought was necessary, but got caught out on not having done the address change and asked why I wasn't going to the Hua Hin office for my extension. Explained I hadn't been living there for almost a year and showed them my Bangkok rental contract and TM 30.

They asked for my last rental contract and TM 30 for my place in Hua Hin (which miraculously I had with me).

All ended up with them asking me to write a letter to the supervisor explaining my move, apologizing and asking for their consideration. Have to go back next week (with freshly updated bank letter, transaction record and bank book since it'll be beyond the 7 day period of the previous letter) to see if the extension was approved by the supervisor.

Sooo... Chaengwattana definitely appears to need the TM-27 filed if you move provinces.

Hello all. I live in Bangna, Bangkok. I'm British here on NonO visa which expires on 18th March. I'm planning to apply for my Retirement Visa by myself. I have the funds in the account but just for a month now. I have TM30.

Which immigration office do I need to go to?

Any advice or tips will be helpful.

Thank you.

Hi all, I have was given great advice in the past from this group so I have another question. I am currently in Bangkok near Phrom Phong and want to extend my visa 30 days. I am having trouble finding a government immigration office somewhat near me. All I see are 3rd party offices and immigration lawyers. Can anyone please tell me where I can find a Government immigration office?

Hi,

I’m due my first 90 day reporting in person. Is it correct that I need the TM47 form, my TM30 and my passport only?

Also I go to Division 1 immigration office for my non o extension, but I’m hearing that I don’t go there for the 90 day report, is that also correct? If so where do I go? I live in Nong Chok.

Thanks in advance ❤️
