CangguSurfer Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 I just tried reporting online (TM.47 90 day reporting for Retirement visa) and wasn't successful. I read all the tips I could find here on Thaivisa but when I hit the submit button I get a pop-up that says "For further information regarding The 90-day Notification Report Service, please contact the Immigration Branch Office in your residence area." I assume this indicates a system error but I don't know; it would be nice if the message wasn't so vague! Just wondering if this is a temporary glitch and maybe I should keep trying over the next few days, or if I should stop wasting my time and just go down to IMM in-person. My expiration date is Nov 30. I don't trust doing this by mail. Online reporting just sounded so convenient but I had a sneaking suspicion it was too good to be true ???? I tried to contact IMM by phone as instructed on the website; what a total waste of time that was! So damn frustrating dealing with this bureaucratic nonsense!!! Any tips or advice on the online reporting would be appreciated but I'm pretty sure I've done everything correctly (and tried at least a dozen times with different parameters (i.e.: filling in only boxes with "red *", leaving prefixes out of TN.8 # and flight #, trying different browser platforms, dumping browser cache, etc.) If I go down to IMM in person, any idea how long I might be spending there to get this done? Do I need anything other than signed copies of my passport pages? For instance, a copy of rental agreement? Every experience I have at IMM is an monumental ordeal! It would be nice for a change for it all to just go smoothly. Just wondering if that is actually a possibility LOL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CangguSurfer Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Regarding "in-person" 90 day notification in Chiang Mai, is there a need to arrive real early and queue to assure getting a ticket. I'm getting conflicting information. Some seem to say that if you don't arrive super-early, you run the risk of not getting a ticket and being told to come back the next day. It sure would be nice if Immigration provided official & reliable details, but of course they do not have any information on their website ????

It seems to be much better now, probably roll up 8-9am and get done fairly quickly. That said absolutely no reason to do 90 days in person with online and postal acceptance available.

Thanks for reply. I have been trying to do it online with no luck at all. Have tried several different browser platforms, both windows and osx. Tried every permutation of info entry. Too late for mail I believe, since my expiration is this coming Friday. Sure would be nice if they could get the online system working "reliably" but this is Thailand so I'm not holding my breath on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope this one works for you , plenty to find if you use Google By the way it does not open , it downloads to your computer , there you can open it.

I have read that CM has one that is slightly different than the usual TM.47, and the usual one will be rejected by CM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CangguSurfer Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 TROUBLE-SHOOTING ONLINE REPORTING I just found VERY detailed instructions on all options (online, mail-in, and in-person) for doing 90 day reporting in Chiang Mai. The instructions for doing it online include a lot of troubleshooting information that I've not seen anywhere else. Just thought I'd post for anyone else as confused as I've been about the online option in particular. It was originally written in 2015 but appears to have been updated in 2018. https://sites.google.com/site/ccccrecent/home/immigration-online-reporting-help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to hear; The issues I had with online reporting were my own fault actually. Since I had just been to IMM (in person) on Nov 10 to report my re-entry from a trip abroad, I didn't realize this also automatically reset my 90 day reporting requirement to Feb 7 instead of what it had been before my trip which would have been Nov 30. Kind of stupid of me but I guess that's why the online system rejected my attempt to report in connection with my retirement visa last week.

The dummy before you did the same thing You're sure of this, Einstein? The time frame for walk in is two weeks before the due date and one week after. The online URL states, Applicants can submit this online application within 15 days but not less than 7 days before the due date of notification. My friend was just here and we entered the proper information in the proper format on the first page, the correct Captcha, but it would still not advance to the 2nd page. Same for Chrome as well as IE 11. Oh, 13 days until due date. So, we did it by mail. Tell us what he did wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IOW, you don't know, actually nobody knows, but thankfully we're not dummies. Hopefully not, because both of us had a nearly perfect gpa through five college degrees. Two more of us are coming due next month and we'll give it another try. There's no penalty for a miss, just toss it in the mail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
