@Todd ********

you obviously have never lived anywhere in Isaan, rural or city.

So you won’t appreciate the people or the rural lifestyle so I’ll leave you with your desirable and I’ll keep my not so desirable. Good luck

@Dimitri *******

don’t live in Bangkok would be my out come, I believe Pattaya is the same and Phuket not far behind.

What a load of crap, my experience with Immigration has always been very good, quick, polite and know there jobs, certainly that is the case in Udon.

Haven’t seen people lined up like that since Covid hit and went and by the end there was no out side waiting. In fact I would say they are more efficient since Covid.

There are times when they are very busy and you may have to wait 45min.

Better than most Aust state government departments, in particular the Aust federal gov departments are terrible.

Never used an agent and don’t think I will, don’t report on line I go in every 90 days and say hi for all of 5 minutes.

We work it in with our trips to town and my cigs and bottlo shop is just around the corner.😜

Bernard Le Du we went to Nam as well about 8 weeks ago and I did report back in, because again they say they want me to check in after I have been out of the country. As you said each immigration in each province do their thing.

Yes, I do understand that it resets to 0 after leaving the country but as I said I just do as they require. They are very good at Udon, I heard a lot of bad reports about the office when I arrived permanently just before Covid, but I have found them excellent. Always very thorough, business like and friendly. Maybe that’s the pork buns I take in occasionally for all in the office. Have great day

@Bernard *******

correct but because I will be out of the country when my 90 day is due that want me to reset with them, just do as I am told, sometimes.😜😜

@Bernard *******

I go in after an OS trip because the Immigration told me to. I am heading to OZ in October and told them that I will miss my next 90 day as I will be out of the country, and they to come in within a week of return so they can reset the 90 day reporting date.

I have travelled all over Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, Australia and never done another TM30, I also have yellow book, not sure if that is why?

I do go to immigration on return from another country but not when I travel in Thailand.

Never had an issues, I also do not do online reporting I go there every 90 days to report.

They know me well at the 90 day desk with some pork buns occasionally for the office. 👍🙏

this great Brandon, wish I had it when I changed to 65k in 2021.

Had to do a heap of reading and checking before I did it.

Luckily we were in the process of building the house the year before I changed it allowed me to bring in much more than 65k month and I changed my BkB branch which sent them into a bit if fizz working out the money. This will help a lot of people.👍👍

@Pui ****

thank you for a very comprehensive and detailed post. 😄👍👍

Not many people would worry about someone else being pumped on here by the rood people.

Thank you again

I obviously didn't retain that when reading as I skipped reading the consulate comments until you said it was obvious. Oops, thank you.
