So how did you finally report?
So how did you finally report?
I went there with my passport, work permit, rental agreement from the resort (stamped and signed by the owner), The owner's ID card copy, his business license copy, another of his business certificates and a hand drawn map.
First I only handed over my passport and the girl took it inside to the Immigration officer and came back saying I need to do it in Songkhla. So I explained I'm working here and that Songkhla is a red zone that I do not wish to travel to. I then produced my WP, rental agreement, owner's ID and hand drawn map. She went inside.
She came back saying I didn't have enough so I produced the certificates.
She came back saying I still needed 1 document, the DBD for the business where I'm staying.
I gave up, I'd been up all night working then about 1 hour to Udon and I was there at 0745 but didn't open til 0830. I went to the nearest post office and sent it to my Mrs to do for me.
Lang may yer lum reek...
^ That shit really annoys me. The people who are trucking up every 90 days are the legal ones, trying to comply with the regulations. They just want to make everything as f*cking difficult as they can sometimes.
A colleague of mine just ignores it. He has been forced to pay a 2,000 baht fine for not reporting when renewing his visa exactly once in about 10 years.
really makes me wonder if it is simply not worth it sometimes.
Why not just make the online report work?
If I can report from anywhere online (if working), why have to go in person to my local immigration.
The mind boggles.
^ I would have just gave up and paid the 2k baht fine next time my extension was due.
Fairplay for making the effort.
It gets complicated if you get arrested while on ‘overstay’ though.
I still do not do 90 day reports as my work permit demands I must be at my place of employment during immigration opening hours.
LT must have looked well dodgy if he has that condition written in his work permit!
Yeah, actually think fondles is correct here. Work permits are linked to one specific place of work. Pretty much every meeting i go to breaks my work permit regs. It is kind of a fine line to parse whether going to the immigration office is "work", but a case could be made as to it is.
90 day reporting is in no way a "breach" of work permit regulations, anyone that says otherwise is talking utter bullshit.
to sink LT's post even further into the "he's talking utter bullshit" territory.... one does not have to do the 90 report themselves in person, he is just being a fuckwit keyboard warrior.
The Meth One's Fuck The Best !!
