@Duncan ******

wire, I got the same email

I guess I can't say if the online system just forwards the info to the office or not. So it's possible they could handle it differently.

@Colin ********

they all have their own rules for doing things in person, but the online system is the same regardless of which office you use.

@Colin ********

if you stay in any hotel or place that files a TM30 for you, which they are required to do within 24 hours, then filing the 90 day report will get rejected because the last tm30 they have on record doesn't match the home address when filing the 90 day report. You then have to go to immigration in person to update the tm30 and file the 90 day report. Unless you don't travel anywhere for the 90 days there's a good chance one has to go to immigration in person.

I forgot for a moment this is Thailand and it didn't make sense that the electronic part wouldn't be linked to data that they clearly have access to, only manually. The amount of cost and effort to have that electronically tied is so minimal compared to the payback. But this is Thailand.😄

@Kevin **********

yes, I understood that. I was curious how the "system" knew you were too early if it couldn't pull the arrival data. Todd gave a good explanation that made sense.

@Tod ********

so was he too early for 23Aug date of when his previous report was due, had he not left the country? Or are the two systems tied, but only after it tries to process the report?

@เตเต้ *****

ok, thanks. Do you know if the VOA office is open every day, Sunday specifically?

@เตเต้ *****

book appointment or book the place to stay? Not sure how long lines impact the need to book a place to stay early.

@Car *******

strange then. Either way you'll need to file a new TM30 and/or go to the office to sort it out most likely.
