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 go for my first 90 day report on my Non O one year extension.

I am US and will report in Bangkok.

What do I need to bring other than my passport?

I live in hotel so do not have lease.

I can get hotel to do letter that I live there.

Thanks

Just an FYI;

When I was at Chaengwattana Immigration's yesterday for my weekly visit, I stopped into section J-1 the section that does TM.30's at to see how people "self file".

You take your lease contract and your passport in with a filled out TM.30 form. If you're self reporting you don't need your land lord's thai i/d or the house book listing of where you live.

If you are bringing the form in for your land lord you do need copies of their i/d and the house book.

I

f you are doing it after the 24 hour window you have to file a TM.30 you get fined 800baht.

While I was there I saw a few thais trickling in and filing TM.30's but no foreigners.

At this time a TM.30 is NOT required to do an extension, a 90 day report or a re-entry permit out at Chaengwattana but it IS needed to apply for an initial 90 day Non-Immigrant visa in section C-1.

Just wanted to let people know how to do it in Bangkok.

I was thinking of going out and self filing a TM.30 just in case they ever do start being hard core about it.

Good Luck (y)
