TB Immigration Info Brief 036/20: Year Extension in Tha Yang
Today 29/04 went to Tha Yang for the annual visa extension. All papers taken except the yellow address book (forgotten). I do have a pink farang id card and it was accepted for my address. The immigration office was split in two. Part outside, the main house for the 90 days and address changes, inside for the extension, I was alone there.
TB Immigration Info Brief 035/20: Year Extension, Re-entry and 90 Day Notification – Immigration Chiang Rai
On April 27, I went to Immigration Chiang Rai for the annual extension of my stay (as of May 18), a re-entry permit and the 90-day report. In view of the temporary 'amnesty' I – in theory – could possibly have waited until the end of July, but since I hope to travel back to NL before then, I simply reported in time for the formalities.
Notices from Immigration Pattaya. The temporary immigration office in School 7, near Watboon Road on Sukhumvit Road has been closed again due to the exemptions. Immigration in Jomtien remains open as normal.

TB Immigration Info Letter 031/20: Extension Waiver
I live on Koh Phangan and my year of Retirement Extention of Stay ends April 29. Before a new year I received – within 5 days – the Visa Support Letter from the Dutch Embassy.

TB Immigration Info Brief 029/20: 90 Days of Online Issues
I notice that there are quite a few people who fail to make the 90 day notice online. I also failed and received a dry message: REFUSED. Why? That's what I guessed. But guessing is not in my nature. It may still be a vestige of professional malformation, but I'd like to dig deeper into the facts and find out why. I'm not a layman in working with computers and especially databases were and are used a lot by me, so I know a bit how those things work.
TB Immigration Info Letter 028/20: Year Extension “Thai Marriage” Immigration Kanchanaburi
Even in this Corona time, we cannot escape it as long-stayers. Before April 10, 2020, I had to extend my stay again. Went to Kanchanaburi Immigration Office on March 18, 2020 for this annual obligation. I request the annual extension based on “Thai Marriage”.
TB Immigration Info Brief 027/20: Drive through in Chiang Mai for 90 days notification
I want to share an experience. Despite 90 days of reporting being suspended in April until further notice, I didn't want to take any chances. My 90 day report was on April 27. I arrive at Immigration Chiangmai around 10.15 am with visions of long queues etc. To my utter surprise, a drive-through was created especially for 90 days of notifications. There were 2 cars in front of me. The officer came to my car, took my passport (copies of passport were not necessary) and after 5 minutes (!!!) I got my passport back and was ready to leave.
We did it, the online notification for 90 days! I almost wrote “it is finished”, but I may be treading on sensitive religious toes in this period. So then: it worked, the message that I had to report again to Immigration in Hua Hin after 90 days.
TB Immigration Info Brief 025/20: 90 days notice online
Info about 90-day notification in Chiang Mai. Today, April 10 (14 days before my uninterrupted 90-day stay in the Kingdom of Thailand), I can make my 90-day report. Yesterday it was reported that “Foreigners who are required to make a 26-day address report between March 2020, 30 and April 2020, 90 are exempt from this 90-day address report until further notice.” I made the report online anyway.
Concerns 90 days notification Hua Hin by mail. Gambled and won, because I had no idea at all whether they would allow it this way. It is important here that I have sent my TM47 Form by registered mail (5 days before the expiration date) without any copy of passport or house book and not even an extra envelope with a stamp of 10 bht. Today I received my slip from Immigration with EMS at home.
New measures have now been approved and have also appeared on the websites of Immigration and TAT (Tourism Authority of Thailand), among others.
Last Friday I asked how long a bank letter was valid for visa extension non immigrant O. Today's answer from Immigration in Hua Hin: 7 days.
Today, March 25, despite having time until April 6, I went to the immigration in Chiang Mai (the one near the airport) for my 90 days. Car parking for 20 baht opposite the immigration. Initially a long queue but that turned out to be at the entrance for a temperature check. A doubtful case has to sit there for 5 minutes and then it is measured again. If not, there is a large tent where one has to go and I noticed that quite a lot of people were waiting there.
To relieve the pressure on the current immigration office located in the Chaeng Wattana Government Complex, an additional immigration office was set up in Muang Thong Thani.
