The 90 Days Residence Report
[QUOTE=Nyezhov;2697321]It never goes downhill, it just changes.
As a fresh faced newbie in the 80's, the old timers were biatching about the old days. R&R days.
Hell I had old days at 44 baht to the dollar. Sure been downhill since then, except now I have more money, so when I show up its uphill or even.
One thing that has gone downhill since I stepped ashore is Thailand itself, hell of a lot less freewheeling than the old days. Those who stand on line every 90 days know what I mean.
But regardless, if there is one thing that's constant, its guys like Goat and Eih that provide the real detailed info. Thanks boys.[/QUOTE]Speaking of the 90 Days Residence Report, the physical location for that in Bangkok has returned to the big Immigration Office in Chaengwattana. I was there to submit mine in person about a week ago, I showed up during their 12 noon to 1 PM lunch break and when it reopened after lunch there was practically no queue line at all. Maybe 20 people sitting in chairs ahead of me. I was in and out within 20 minutes.
I used to do it by mail, which was very easy and the only cost was for a stamp on the envelope and another one on a self-addressed envelope inside that one for the receipt to be mailed back to me. Then, during the Covid closures, my receipt got "lost in the mail" and it cost me 2000 baht in penalty fees to submit my next report form without that receipt. At that time the lady behind the counter said, "Oh yeah, a lot of people are not getting their receipt in the mail now."
There was an app to do it online but it never worked for me and many others. The line to submit it in person around that time was longer than before the app.
Now I think the app is gone but it appears we can submit it online through a Thai Immigration website. Maybe doing by mail is on again too. That might account for why there were so few people there to submit it in person a couple of weeks ago.
I don't know if this online method will work for me next time, about 80 days from now. But at least I was able to register for it in advance here, unlike that lame app before:
