Just seen this on another site. Good info

I’m living in Chiang Mai with my wife and our four children, all on DTVs. 90 days for us is next Thursday. Online isn’t available for the first report, and I opted to try in-person to see if it was as easy as I had been told. It was. I asked another expat for advice and was told to take passports, TM30s, and completed TM47s. I also took a print-out of our house lease agreement but wasn’t asked to show it. I didn’t take passport photocopies. I got to the drive-up window not long before 1:00; it was closed for lunch between 12 and 1. Several minutes later the window opened, and I gave the officer the stack of six passports (with TM47s loose and TM30s attached inside each one). It took him about three minutes to process all six of them and issue printed receipts. Please note that this is my experience in Chiang Mai today; no guarantee that this will work exactly the same in other places or at a later date. Also: our passports are stamped through Feb. 19, but, because I went in a week early for 90-day reporting (you can do it between 15 days before and 7 after the 90-day mark), the receipts show that we need to report again 90 days from today (Feb. 11), not 90 days from the 90th day (Feb. 19). So, if one wants to schedule a 180-day border bounce very close to a visa stamp date, don't report ahead of the 90-day date like I did unless you want to report twice before leaving the country.

Anonymous participant that's what happens here multitude of answers each embassy has different rules also people here haven't experienced the process they just read something wherever and run with it. Scan for posts of people who completed the process then decide on place you will go and just follow the person who completed the process at that embassy

got my bkk bank account last week easy as. Basic paperwork l had myself. No cost no drama. Prefer to keep my money and not pay agents only encourages them to screw people. Same as a driver's license it's so basic my 10 year old could do it. It's actually quite fun to do it and people watch 150 bht the same as bike licence. Why would you pay blood suckers.

it doesn't tell you sh@#$t. Did he apply for an extension no have you no. I haven't it's kihe all the posts about you can't open a bank account people have. What is one person's asking experience is not a doing experience. As l said let's wait and see. Your just creating stress for yourself for no reason. When you go for your extension. With your passport and visa and completed extension form and 1900 bht we will see what comes of it 🤣🤣

again don't believe everything you see here. It's a 90 day report you don't have to produce anything just your passport and a form actually l have never completed that form. 90 day report completely different to extension let's wait and not listen to heresay of a post that was obviously not proof of anything

agree haven't seen anything like this. Just wait and time will tell. It seems ludicrous that the process would start again the visa is for 5 years once granted you don't have to reapply. It's like when you extend any visa passport and form pay fee bye bye
