    90 day report fee?

    Hello,

    I will be doing my first 90 day report of my current address.

    Since this is not a service they are providing for me, am I assuming correctly there is no fee for this?

    Khon Kaen immigration
    Non B work permit now holding.

    Thanks

    Unless you're more than seven days late, then it's a 2000B fine, last I heard.

    Reporting by post is a good way to do it. Just be sure you know what's needed.

    Not what they told me, and they gave my missus a full list of what papers have to be sent. But due to my missus wanting to go to the market this month I will do it in person, and report back.

    I'm guessing they've already seen your picture and facebook profile and just can't resist the opportunity to meet you.

    I asked in person on my last 90 day report so they have already met me and have done so for the last 10 years at KCI and Korat

    In Surat and Samui I have been advised no earlier than 7 days and no later than 7 days. I try to avoid Mondays and Fridays when they tend to be busy and want to knock off early respectively. Most open at 8.30 and close down for lunch at 12. I try and get in as close to opening time as possible.
    You need your passport and completed form TM47. I was once asked for my rental agreement when I changed reporting offices.

    Couldn't comment about the other offices scattered around the country..

    The rule here in Bangkok is you can go 14 days early. You can also report up to 7 days late without garnering the minimum 2000 baht fine.. Realize that the fine can be 5000baht PLUS 200 baht a day for every day you're late IF they want to take a hard line with you (as in IF you cop the slightest attitude when you report later than 7 days)..

    90 day reports don't hafta be done in person and anyone can do it for you. If you send someone or go yourself all you need is your paspport and the filled out TM-47.

    You can mail in your report in Bangkok too. You need copies of the front page of your passport, the visa stamp, your permission to stay until stamp and the departure card. They'll send your copies and the receipt of reporting back to you.. Sent it by EMS so you can track it and have a receipt that you mailed it, also have a stamped self addressed envelope inside too.

    In Bangkok there are three places foreigners can do 90 day reporting;
    Main Immigrations Office Chaengwattana Government Complex (this place is SWAMPED with people doin' their 90 day reports every day!!)
    Major Hollywood Suksawat
    Imperial World Ladprao

    Last week I was at Imperial World Ladprao and was out in less than 3-4 minutes. I would have been out sooner, but because so few foreigners do 90 day reporting there the gurl wasn't even at her window and they had to track her down...

    They have blank forms at the offices but here's the link to the forms on Immigrations website. you can down load the TM-47 and fill it in before you go
    http://www.immigration.go.th/nov2004...?page=download

    Oh BTW; Major Hollywood & Imperial World open at 10:30 not 8:30 like Chaengwattana

    At Ayutthaya Immigration one can report 7 days early but what's the point? If you can report 7 days late with no fine so much the better. Or, if you want to check out a Cambodian Casino, pop across the border and that's your 90 day reporting done.

    At the Patong office you only need your passport.
    The computer spits out a completed form, sign, slip pinned in passport and go.
    (repeat reports ).
    Used to be 100 baht "service fee" if someone attended for you but I see that guy has been "transferred".

    Laem Knob, Trat.

    2 weeks before and 1 week after the due date. No charge. Passport only required, the officer and computer completes the form. Asking about postal service and I was told no. A 10 minutes service. I always go after lunch, as there are less tourists, mainly couriers with a handfull of passports.

    Fondles: try using a website which is a little more current than the b/s never updated thai immigrations site.

    There's signage out at Chaengwattana in Section A (the cluster-fuck that is the 90 day reporting room), which says something along the lines of ;

    Failure to appear at the Immigration Office within 7 days after the end of a 90 day period WILL result in a Baht 2,000 fine. Failure to report at all WILL result in a Baht 5,000 fine plus Baht 200 per day for every day past the end of the last 90 days period
    OR
    If you fail to do your 90 day reporting, the penalty is a maximum fine of 5,000 Baht or 200 baht a day until it has been corrected.
    Both those quotes I ripped from more "up to date" websites about what the penalties can really be.
    I'm going to Chaengwattana tomorrow so I'll take a pic of the sign or get the hand out and post it...

    FWIW; a good while back, I was at Chaengwattana before in the 90 day reporting line when some "self-entitled" foreigner was reporting 9 days late. The officer politely said "That will be 2000 baht fine". The guy came un-hinged, banged his fist on the counter, said he'd been living here for years, had a thai wife, half-thai kids and that it wasn't right blah-blah-blah. Without getting even the slightest bit perturbed the officer said, "Mister, for you the fine 5000baht now" and pointed at the sign next to him. I laughed out loud!!!

    If doing a postal report at Kap Cheong Immigration these are the papers they require.

    1. Old TM 47. Not a copy, but you keep a copy.
    2. SAE, for return to your registered address.
    3. Copy of your Passport. Photo page.
    4. Copy of your current visa/extension.
    5. Copy of your Departure Card.

    After my missus was given the list she was told not to forget to put some 'Tea Money' in as well. Well I thought it funny but my missus says 'better to do that than have them mess you around'.

    As stated by others, once you're in the "system," no need for form TM-47. Passport and previous 90 day report form attached, and the computer does it all here in Chiang Rai and Mae Sai.

    Terry57, you'll have to fill out TM-47, hand it to the immigration officer, and he'll read the info, chat a bit, and fill out the info on the bottom of TM-47 with Immigration verifying your 90 day data, stamp it a couple times, tear it off the main page and staple it into your Passport.

    Please send me 5,000 baht for this information....next time you do it, "The Handbag," can go it alone and you can be off to Lumpini for some eye candy.

    Fondles; the signs were taped to the glass on either side of the main counters in Section 'A' last time I was there. It's also posted by that "medical examination room" as you first go into the 90 day report room on the left.

    I stopped doin' 90 day reporting for people at Chaengwattana (unless I'm out there for other stuff too, because the queue is too there).. Now it may not be there now, but I'll know for sure tomorrow...

    In other news, I went to Ladprao Immigrations today with a couple 'o passports and 4 other people too. We did eight 90 day reports within 5 minutes. In fact we were the only white people in the place!!

    News Flash: in BANGKOK you MUST fill out that TM-47 every time! And yes, before you ask, we get that bar coded receipt at all three places we can do 90 day reporting here. Still you gotta fill out the form.. I don't know why. Go figure???

    The Immigrations officer in Bangkok IF it's your first time is gonna verify he can read your handwriting (which is why it's better to fill out the form on a p/c and print it). They ain't gonna chat with you, they're gonna say, sit down and we'll call you back to the window when we're done... Some lackey is gonna hunt 'n peck keystroke by keystroke to enter the data into their system, then print that bar code receipt before whispering your name and holding up your passport...

    They stopped filling out, tearing off and giving you back the bottom part of the TM-47 when they went to bar coded receipts for reporting..

    That's how it is in Bangkok, anyway...

    Terry, please reverse the transfer of the 5K to "ltnt" and send it to me. They don't report in Bangkok!!! Last time I checked you're gonna report in and hold an address here, not there..
