I just now went to the immigration office in Fang (Chiang Mai immigration office branch in the north of the province that mainly deals with folks from Myanmar) where I have been doing my TM.47 reporting in person for the last 4-5 years. The officer told me not to report online because there are sometimes problems and that I should come to their office for TM.47 reports. One minute later she gave me the TM.47 receipt - no questions asked - and did not ask for a TM.30 report.

BTW, the new due date is 90 days from my last due date - not 90 days from today.

Now that I am thinking about it a bit more, I thought that 2 or 3 years ago the police changed TM30 reporting requirements such that a landlord/homeowner/etc. only needs to submit it once if it's the regular residence. Am I wrong?

@Tod ********

That's what I thought. My local branch immigration office (Fang) never did that so I think it's back to reporting in person from now on. 🙁

So, here's the unfortunate result:

"Your application for "STAYING LONGER THAN 90 DAYS" has been rejected.

Contact immigration to update the (TM30) accommodation notification to date. The last declaration of accommodation at DD Garden Home Phayao not Chiang Mai."

My wife and I went to Phayao for a couple days about 1 month ago and stayed at this hotel one night. I don't really understand why this is an issue since we have stayed other places outside of Chiangmai, where we live, many times before. Isn't TM30 totally separate from TM47 reporting?

Going to the immigration office tomorrow ...

Good to know - thanks.

My due date is today so if I don't receive it by around Tuesday or Wednesday I'll check at the immigration office.

Thanks. Yes, I just filed it Wednesday.

I tried online once before and I somehow screwed it up so this is my first time.

FYI - Called the airport. Immigration is there for re-entry permits up until the last flight leaves for the day.

@James *******

And thanks. 🙂 Just a bit paranoid getting there and not being able to buy a re-entry permit ...

@James *******

Yes, seems like Korean Air is the least expensive way to get to the USA now from CNX. Wednesday, Thursday, and maybe Saturday late night flights.

@James *******

Yes, first leg is CNX to Seoul - not going through BKK.

And the CNX re-entry permit desk doesn't close down before, say, 9pm?
