Indeed - it has been taking 2 to 3 weeks for many approvals it seems. Believe most are approved but there was at least one report of long wait for disapproval with a 2k fine.
I'm obviously one of the lucky ones. Submitted 09:50 this morning, approved 14:17 this afternoon. Surin Immigration.

I did my last 90-day report on-line using my old PP, even though a new PP had been issued (but I hadn't picked it up from the agent)... My next 90-d is due just before my extension expires, so I'll do them together, along with swapping my stamps into the new PP... Kill 3 birds with one stone to avoid multiple trips to my immigration office and save a few 100km trips...
I have done that twice in the last 3 years although a number of local expats thought it was risky (or even illegal). I had a passport issued in November 2019 and left it until June 2020 (expiry date of old passport and one year extension) to have the information transferred. Then I had a passport issued in December 2022 and left it until June 2023 to have the data transferred. Immigration (Surin) didn't even comment.

Doing a 90 day report is a highlight of living in Isaan it seems.
Not for everyone. I still report on-line even though a new Immigration Office is now only 10 minutes drive away (it was over an hour). However, DoHome, Makro, ThaiWatsadu, Big 'C', Lotus's, Robinson's and HomePro are all less than 5 minutes drive.

You might be right, you might not be. As someone who prefers to play it safe I don't like the "might not be fined" and "chance of rejection is low" game of probabilities, so I will head down to CW tomorrow unless the approval email finds its way into my inbox before leaving home.
I would suggest that you don't just rely on an email notification. Check the website also before you leave.

Submitted on-line TM47 on 10th August (10:27), approved today (10:17) - Surin Immigration.
I can't remember what normally happens but I note that the 90 day period resets from the date of application, not the date of approval.

your extension does not reset your 90 day report date
Accepted. However, in my experience with Surin Immigration, when you apply for the extension of stay they update your 90 day report whether you like it or not.

Normally, your first regular 90-day report AFTER getting a new passport/passport number must be done in person, and the online reporting system seems not to work in that situation.
I received a replacement passport (for one that was issued with an error) which I took to Immigration (Surin) to have data transferred at the time I needed to extend my stay (May 2023). Immigration effected a 90 day report at the same time (without being asked) so my next report date is 22nd August 2023. I submitted the TM47 on-line last Thirstday (10th) morning and have only received an acknowledgement to date.
As has been reported, the site is currently down.

I regularly do my 90 day online but my UK passport is coming up for renewal shortly.
Will I have to go along to Jomtien Imm for the 1st time after I have the new one or do I just re-register with the new passport number on-line?
You will need to visit Immigration in person to have the data transferred to the new passport. Wait until your 90 day report is due (assuming your old passport doesn't expire in the meantime) and kill two birds with one stone.

Don't know for sure since I've had a card and membership hospital number for almost 10 years; I suggest you call them, I just did a couple of days ago about the Office hours and their English is good and they are helpful.
Are there any repercussions from the "big red stamp" that you or anyone knows about? Sometimes I almost wish they would kick me out of this country, except there are some friends I would really miss. But one big red stamp maybe I could live with. Thanks.
I had a red stamp back in 2001 from Aranyapratet office (2 days late for a multiple entry border crossing). Next time leaving at the airport I was pulled by Immigration about it and "reprimanded". There was no further penalty but as I was holding two passports at the time I returned back on the other one.

Another question. A friend is trying to tell me that we no longer get a separate email saying that our 90 day online report has been approved, that we get an email saying that it has been successfully received, and then we have to check the Status to see if and when it has been approved. Is there any truth to this? Thanks!
I've always received the "approved" email when my application has been approved within the new system.

That's correct @TallGuyJohninBKK. The TM6 number field is no longer on the online form.
A couple of weeks ago when I had my visa/extension information transferred to my replacement passport, Immigration removed the TM6 (2017) from my old passport and stapled it into my replacement passport. I didn't ask why.

you do not need to print anything, why would you do that
I don't carry my passport with me at all times - only when I leave the province overnight. I keep a copy of my passport main pages, latest extension page and latest TM47 receipt behind the sun visor in the truck.
For that reason I need to print them out.

but my next 90 day report is 22nd August 2023.
Today I received the reminder email from Immigration that my 90 day report will be due on 6th June 2023.

Jomtien also appear to have changed to calculating it from the due date rather than the approval date. My last one was due 2nd February, submitted 18th January and approved 19th with the next submission due on the 19th April. I "lost" 13 days back then.
Surin Immigration today. Both my extension and 90 day report were good until 6th June 2023. My new extension expires on 6th June 2024 but my next 90 day report is 22nd August 2023.

Today I learnt of the extremely sad news of the passing of Ubon Joe. He will be a substantial and irreplaceable loss to Thai Visa (Asean Now).

Notifications have been hit or miss for more than a month and often after you actually have done the report. Do not depend on notifications.
I successfully applied on line for my 90 day report last week.
Today, I received an email reminder that my report is due - tomorrow!

It's all exciting fun days here in Surin!
Around 16:30 today my wife answered my telephone as it was an "unknown" number. The lady said she was from Kap Cheong Immigration and wished to check my passport number. My wife, being terrified of scammers, would not tell her and hung up. She would go to Surin Immigration tomorrow to check the authenticity of the call. I rang the number back and asked her to tell me my passport number (I received acceptance of my 90 day report application only yesterday). She couldn't give me the number but asked if it was acceptable for Immigration Police to call to my house. No problem, I said (I have only a little to hide). 30 minutes ago a squad car pulled up outside our house and three Police Officers were at the gate!
Apparently, they have had problems and their data was corrupt/out of date. It was sorted within minutes and they left to visit the other 149 Farangs which were on their list.
It certainly gave the neighbours something to talk about!-

I applied on-line yesterday at 11:00 am (due 9th April). At 15:00 I received a rejection email because I hadn't entered my visa (I presume they mean extension) expiry date. The on-line form does not require this as mandatory but I re-applied immediately and this time entered my extension expiry date (June). The application was acknowledged but I've heard no more since.
Surin Immigration.
This morning I received approval. However, the next report date is defined as 6th June 2023 which is only 63 days away. However, that date is the expiry date of my current extension of stay so maybe that explains things (at least in Thai logic).

Should they just put this post on Auto Renew.
That would save someone from having to recreate it every 2 to 3 months.I submitted mine after pressing "auto renew". All except the "visa" expiry date was filled in automatically (as per the last 8 or so times).
It appears that there is a new kid looking after on-line applications in Surin who doesn't understand the word "mandatory". A friend submitted his application on-line last week without the "visa" expiry date and it was approved.

Thank you for your replies, if I knew that I wouldn't had bothered doing it with them and would hsve just carry on with the online submission success I had ????
I never really bother about the reminders. My on-line calendar informs me when I am within 14 days of my actual report date and I normally submit the following day. It's become so simple and takes virtually no time at all with the latest system, that I really don't care if I have to report six times a year (however unnecessary it may be).

It's an ID issued to foreigners. It's not mandatory but I was required to have one to renew my driving licence in Surin just last year. Prasat DLT only 30 km down the road (still in Surin Province) did not require one.
I actually renewed my licence in Prasat because I saw my <deleted> with the attitude of Surin DLT. However, the following day I obtained the pink ID.

You could presume that the office serving the Kingdom's capital should be more efficient than ours out in the boondocks?
I appreciate that there are substantially more "aliens" who use CW but surely it is staffed accordingly. Or am I dreaming?
