this is the proof you or someone filed a TM30 on you
Tod *********
you will need to have them fill out a TDAC before they come here

That program starts for people entering on May 1st onward

you go to the main immigration office at Chaengwattana and you want section A (the 90 day report room)

Yes, you can file a 90 day report in person from 2 weeks before until 1 week after the due date

None, there are no copies required in Bangkok to do a 90 day report
Tod *********
right because you don't GET a stamp in your passport when you do a 90 day report,

It's the TM47 form and on the receipt they give you on the bottom left is the date for your next 90 day report IF you don't leave the country before hand
Tod *********
The earliest you can submit one is 72 hours before you arrive <- IF you're arriving ON or AFTER May 1st

The system goes "live" on April 28th (for people arriving May 1st or later)
Tod *********
@Danny *********
In Bangkok now the under-consideration stamp is only 21 days when you go from an extension to another extension

BUT with that being said

I have seen them date the u/c stamp the day someones initial 90 day Non-O expires if they applied early AND if it's the first extension.
Tod *********
They seem to take EXACTLY as long as their posted processing time <- which is 15 BUSINESS days (not counting holidays and weekends)

AND

They usually wait to ask you to send every page of your passport (blank pages too) to them to check you are still in the US and haven't bailed back to thailand.
Tod *********
@Joe *********
nope, when your work permit <- which is a requirement of you HAVING the extension you're on is cancelled then you have to go to the immigration office and cancel the extension AND you'll get fined for every day after the work permit was cancelled that you didn't have the extension cancelled

BUT

Seeing as you're getting a DTV (which is employment prohibited) <- meaning you can't work IN thailand for a thai entity, you're fine doing nothing,

Just go get the 5 year DTV, come back in and get the 180 day entry on it
Tod *********
@Matt ******
they don't care in the least, it's not a requirement at all

he could have left with a valid work permit/extension of stay & a re-entry permit and still applied for a DTV, get it approved no issues and enter the country on it when he comes back
