sinbin 613 #1 Posted April 1, 2011 There was news a while back that 90 day report could now be done at the Korat office. In the last few days it has also been verified on another forum, but the process took about 24-28 days. So yesterday I phoned the Korat office and they say categorically that 90 day report is not available by post. Report in person only. Has anyone else been told this ?

Nawtier 2 #3 Posted April 1, 2011 Last time I asked.....NO POST.....'why you not want to come see me every 90 days'....she said with a wink and a nudge. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kamalabob2 520 #4 Posted April 1, 2011 I sent my TM47 last Saurday to the Nakhonratchasima Immigration office in a pottery village by registered mail and today six days later the New stamped extension was in my post office box. So 100% they will accept and process TM47 90 day reporting by mail and in my case in a very timely manner. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So 100% they will accept and process TM47 90 day reporting by mail and in my case in a very timely manner. Hi I was just in Thai Immigration Office at Nakhon Rachasima (at the pottery village) on March 23, 2011, last week, and they said you CANNOT do by post, must be personal appearance but can be personal appearance in ANY Thai Immigration office. They are concerned with cheating, hence the reason for personal appearance, but the reason for my question was to save myself the 150 kilometer drive from Prasat. This means I can go to Chong Chom, 25 kilometers away...much closer! So kamalabob2, if they are letting you do it by post, keep it going, maybe you just get the odd success story, can you tell me if you also play the lottery and what are your numbers? Seriously, if it's working, keep working it, but they absolutely said absolutely no to me when I asked last week. mario299 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Those of us that reside in Surin and Buriram will be welcoming this "new" service as a godsend. Rumours have it, that this extension will be an experimental fixture......I guess we will see how it goes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is this a relatively new development then? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is this a relatively new development then? I believe one can still do both - 90 day or extension - at Chong Chom. Caution, as it changes as some change their underwear. Even better news, there will be a new mobile service {experimental} preparing most visa/immigration needs in Surin and Buriram sometime this month I believe. Not sure of the exact date......a few here on the Isaan forum would be tune with the exact dates though. The location for this "mobile" visa service will be located in front of the main post office. All this nonsense aside, it's just less of a headache to run off to Korat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
