@James *******

thanks, the visa service info answers my question but the consulate site says validity is 3 months.

Thanks again.

Thanks Tod, just thought of that after I posted. :)

Correct. :)

@Robert ******

Thanks heaps, always great to get helpful and constructive advice here. :)

Sorry, I have a Non-O based on marriage to a Thai (not sure if that is the right terminology but I have been on this type for 11 years). I am Australian and live in Chiang Rai. It usually take 4- 6 weeks to process as it seems they send it to Chiang Mai for approval or that's what they have told me before.

I live in Mae Suai, Chiang Ra. It is a smaller town but the local police station know how to a TM.30. It saves me a 60 minute drive and up to 3 hour wait at CR Immigration. :)

That would be Mae Sai. :)

Reporting back! Went to Chiang Rai Immigration today, took my number, waited 1 hour. The nice lady processed my 90 day report in 2 minutes. After I got my passport back, I told her I had been rejected online for my 90 day report and showed her the "Status Report" stating it was rejected. She showed it around the office, everybody shrugged, she gave it back to me, shrugged and said "never mind, try again online next time". 😂😂😂😂😂😂
