Having a dig at Thai-Chinese because . . . .?

I think scaramonga is just scaramongering us.

The OP got it up the rear end.

From the official immigration website.

1. The foreigner makes the notification in person, or
2. The foreigner authorises another person to make the notification, or
3. The foreigner makes the notification by registered mail.
4. The notification must be made within 7 days before or after the period of 90 days expires.
5. The first application for extension of stay by the foreigner is equivalent to the notification of staying in the Kingdom over 90 days.

Offices accepting notification:

1. Immigration Division1 Office, Chalermprakiat Government Complex,Chaengwattana Rd., Laksi ,Bangkok
2. Visa extension units, Chamchuree Square Building, Floor 18 hatumwan, Bangmmigration offices throughout the countr

Not where I live. It has to be done in person. No postal reports allowed.

I have heard about one person who asked if he could report by post.
He was told "no"
He applied by post and they processed it.

Won't happen at Chok Chai (Korat). They'll ignor it. When you phone to say you haven't received the 'slip back', they then tell you to report in person. Or this was what happened when they first refused postal reports. Everyone now seems to accept the reporting in person.

The yellow bit is what I was getting at. It seems the report by mail applies only to those who are currently in the system.

At Chok Chai nobody can report by mail. Irrespective, if in the system or not.

Fair enough.
It won't be the first time the rules have been ignored/changed to suit immigration.

The fcukers know full well that a lot of farangs live a 4 hour round trip away. They're due to move the office soon, making it even further away, for some.

Perhaps you think yourself a wee bit too important as I doubt they are doing it specifically to make your life more difficult

When was the website updated?

I have a receipt and a nasty stamp in my Passport to say differently.

Please enlighten me/us as to why they're doing it ? I personally don't live far enough away from the office for it to bother me. I'm more concerned for those in the outer catchment area.

Waste of time
The supervisor will be getting a cut from this scam.
You have to complain at regional level or in Bangkok

Which is illegal. I'm surprised they didn't lock you up.

Do I look like a planning officer making the decisions in Bangkok?

I( guess he can't use his argument that Thai-Chinese are evil people then . . .

What is that called? A conundrum, perhaps?
