Thank you for the helpful recommendations. 😊🙏

I have made my decision: If I receive another request for “90-Days-Online-Notification” in mid-July, I will try online again. If it fails again, I will try a second time. If it even doesn't work on the second try, “90-Days-Online" is finished for me. I will then switch to sending the documents via “ThailandPost” instead of driving to Jomtien again and looking for solutions that don’t exist.

You mean mailing with ThailandPost? Didn't even know that was possible. 😲 Definitely sounds very interesting, especially since I have a small post office in the neighborhood. 😊👍 Which documents need to be sent and which form of delivery do you choose? (registered mail?)

For affected foreigners who do not live within an acceptable distance of the responsible immigration office and have to travel long distances for each of the completely unnecessary 90-Days-Reports, it is probably important to know why the system does not work for them anymore and whether it will work again soon.

If that were the case, then it could also be justified as an “additional security check” and no one would have to worry that the system would no longer work.

I drove to immigration in Jomtien on last Wednesday to clarify the problem on site. However, at the "90-day desk" I was only informed that they couldn't help me and that I would probably have to come back for every report.

I was absolutely serious about the good relationships. I can still remember that ASEAN NOW used to ask some immigration officers for the forum-users about confusing topics (...increasing bank deposits and health insurance), which I found to be very helpful.

To be honest, I wonder whether "ASEAN NOW" can't use its good relations with the immigration authorities to point out the "90 Days Online" problem or. the dubious, unfounded rejections of applications after correct reporting ("Your application for "STAYING LONGER THAN 90 DAYS" has been rejected. Incorrect entry date upon entry into the kingdom/Incorrect visa expiration date."). After all, it is now being discussed in three topics and there seem to be dozens of forum users who are affected. I only ask because it is next to impossible for individual applicants to find a solution to the problem. For example, I tried to explain the problem to immigration and was immediately turned away on the grounds that they couldn't help me and that I should report from now on by visiting instead of online.

This was exactly my idea to find a solution for the same problem ... especially when the "90-Day-Report" deadline was nearly running off. So I drove to immigration in Jomtien on last Wednesday to clarify the problem on site. However, at the "90-day desk" I was only informed that they couldn't help me and that I would probably have to come back for every report.

I've been using the magnifying glass function since the beginning of using "90-Days-Online" ... so for two years. I filed a TM 30 with my wife in Jomtien at the beginning of December 2023 (not online). Then in January 2024 "90-Days-Online" was sent as usual and confirmed without any problems. The same procedure with the same entries was then rejected three months later (i.e. last week).

To be honest, I'm beginning to suspect that it's intentional because they don't want more and more foreigners living here to use the online system and therefore less staff on site. 🤐

This content is written at the end of the rejected application: "...This email is auto-generated. Please do not reply. In case of any queries, please contact ROYAL THAI POLICE IMMIGRATION BUREAU..." There is no phone number or email address associated with 90 Days Online... and when I personally asked for help at the immigration office, they explained to me that in such a case no one can help and I should have to do the notification manually again.

That's the point.

That is the most important question, but no one in immigration can or wants to answer who is responsible for 90-Days-Online-Version ... because they don't want that "customers" solve such problems independently. 🙄

Even if it would took three hours to fill out the application via PC, I would still prefer that more than driving to immigration in Jomtien. But it looks like I'll have to do it every three months again after a two-year break. 😖
