I and some others reported that we were able to do an online report in those circumstances after having a new passport after the last entry. However, I would recommend you do a mail-in report 15 days prior to report date prior to trying the 90-day online report in case the online report doesn't work again or the site is defective as it often is.

I was able to do first online report ever due to an old entry and a new passport last October. There were reports prior to that by others with a old entry or a new passport. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubonrthai Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 Forgot my 90 day report. The "7 days after" window expires tomorrow but offices are closed and the website appears to be down today. I was trying on a Mac with Chrome though and I read that I need Explorer. Does it open on Explorer today or do I just get to eat the 2,000b fine on Friday?

The online report site has been down for almost 2 months now and it it was up you could not do your report online after your report date. You will have to pay the 2000 baht fine for late reporting on Friday when the offices open again unless immigration decides to give you a break and does not do it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know which office you use but I have been told that the Surin Immigration office is closed until Monday 19th April 2021. It would be prudent to ring on Friday to check. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I take it, then, that you will be following your advice to @ubonrthai below by calling Surin Immigration Office on Friday, will you? If you get an answer not only will you be 5 THB the poorer but it will also become apparent that the officer to whom your wife spoke yesterday was telling her porkies and that you therefore need to hot-foot it there on Friday clutching 2 x crisp 1,000 THB notes. 6 hours ago, Yorkie said: It would be prudent to ring on Friday to check. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why are you assuming that it was my wife who spoke to the immigration officer? It was a quote (indicated by the "..") from another Farang. My 90 day check-in is due on 17th April 2021 and it was only because I am awaiting the unlikely event that the on-line service will be up and running before the end of the week that I didn't report last week. In 20 years, I have never reported later than 5 days after the due date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRG23 Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 Can't quite believe that Immigration hasn't postponed 90-day reporting requirements given the fact that Covid is on the rise and the bloody online reporting tool is busted. It's ridiculous that folks like me are asked to work here, pay our taxes and then told it's easy to comply with the rules. Why does Thai immigration continue to require me to report my wherabouts every 90 days when I have a BOI work permit, pay taxes and go through all manner of hoops to do my business here in Thailand??? It is a joke. Wake up Thailand. This requirement is antiquated and so very unhelpful for people who come here to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It appears that another Farang rang the Surin Immigration office on Monday and was told (by a different IO apparently) that the office would be open on Friday and on Saturday morning. Difficult to know who to believe these days. Anyway, I shall rock up on Tuesday morning to report (3 days after the actual date). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

up-country_sinclair Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 90 day is due tomorrow. I would have done it online, but that's obviously not happening at the moment. Immigration offices are open tomorrow at 8:30, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The chances of Immigration fixing anything technical will remain just as an unlikely and unpredictable an event as the immigration rules being changed to simplify both the work of immigration officers and the effort of us aliens to meet them. Why would they wish to reduce the work required of immigration officers ? To do so would result in less officers would be required. And that would be all the way up the chain.

Waiting for some announcement today that as of Monday they will be doing another amnesty for 90 day reports in lieu of the current wave of Covid which makes last years issues look small in comparison. I have an early appointment on Monday at MTT to do my 90 day in person. If there has been no movement as far as the 90 day issue, I will of course end up making the 1 hour ride out to the location and do my report in person. I will update this site with my findings. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanoshi Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Reading news and Immigrations intention to overhaul the outdated Immigration regulations, supposedly making it easier for tourist to enter and long term expats to stay, I'm not expecting the extranet to be up and running until they make decisions on the way forward. There is a very good chance 90 day reporting will be completely abolished. It's certainly being discussed according to my IO. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
