Reader Submission: “Foreign National Information Form” now available in Chiang Mai
Posted in Reader Submission
Tags: Chiang Mai, Foreign National Information Form
Dear readers,
I went to Immigration in the Promenada in Chiang Mai on June 30 for my '90-days notification'. From now on, the “Foreign National Information Form” must also be completed here. Apart from the data you have already entered on the TM-47 form, you will only be asked for:
- Home address and telephone in the Netherlands.
- Workplace in Thailand.
- Frequently used social media (is optional and used as a supplement to communication).
- Information about your means of transport.
- Frequently visited places (such as clubs, restaurants, shops, hospitals, etc.).
- Contacts in case of emergency.
- Bank details (only for certain types of visas). Not specified which one!
- You can also add data or information yourself.
- If something is not applicable, enter “-“.
In my eyes no big deal. I don't understand the fuss of the past few months.
Greetings,
Hans
If all goes well, the link will go to the intended form, which is now said to be the latest version, which is now in use. Which could well be different in Thailand since people may have come up with something different locally per immigration office. So subject to changes and local influences:
http://newscontent.thaivisa.com/2016/06/22/Foreign_National_Information.pdf
I just filled out such a form when extending my retirement (year) visa.
Do they also want you to fill in such a form every 90 days (with passport photo)?
You also have to go to a hospital for a health certificate.
They're really trying to bully us out, I'm afraid.
Loe, it would help if you tell us which Immigration is requesting a doctor's note. It is not used in the whole country.
It happened last week in Nathon (Koh Samui) and a doctor's note is not enough.
You have to go to the hospital for a health certificate: blood pressure, blood (aids), urine (for narcotics), x-ray for TB and a few more things.
Incomprehensible. If you refuse with too high blood pressure, they can evacuate all of Pattaya 🙂
They say they don't want to pay for foreigners' medical expenses.
Then we must ensure that everyone who stays for a long time is insured. That would make sense.
Thailand is a nice cheap place to stay, plus some extras that other countries in Southeast Asia do not offer or offer to a lesser extent, but in recent years many things have gone downhill in Thailand. A problem that is always increasing is the visa hassle, additional rules, other rules or applied differently per immigration office, and if you ask for information you are already afraid of not getting an effective answer or of being snubbed. I understand that the Thai authorities have some fear about criminals or people who stay there illegally and then get sick, etc.
But most falangs who come to Thailand for a few months still have some money, although this may be a risk group, but the falangs who go to live there with or without a Thai wife must still provide proof of income or money in the bank. Of course it can always go wrong, but they are not doing well if you ask me. I have been going to Thailand for years, and will continue to go there, but to stay somewhere for a long time I prefer to go to one of the neighboring countries where visas are required. easier and much cheaper.
Europe, so highly regarded, and you can just walk in there and get BBB and in some places more than that. Only we have life made so difficult in terms of paperwork, and we don't get a euro or a bath for free.
No big deal? That's about it. What matters is your Facebook, Twitter and other Social Media contacts and comments, well hidden among other seemingly silly questions. Read a few days ago that the USA does the same, when applying for a visa, but they also want your Username that you use for Social Media. Draw your conclusions, 2 great friends. I refuse to fill in such a form. Am not a criminal. Is the same as reporting to the probation service.
Well, we also received such a list in Chiang Mai last week. Let's just play the game again, I'll just say, because you don't want any trouble and there's no point in starting a discussion about it. We read through the form and come across questions, of which we say:
Don't they already have that data in the computer, here on immigration and at the Embassy in Bangkok?
E.g. address and phone number in the Netherlands:…. We don't have, have been deregistered for 9 years.
That they want to know a contact address, I can get in there, but that is also known at the Embassy.
Place of work: …..We are retired and have had a retirement visa for 9 years
Car given: …..Are known to the authority (see inspection)
Which stores you visit: …..Hmmm is this a market research or…??
Name of father: …..Has already passed away in 1970 !!!!!
Name of mother: …..deceased in 1998 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If we indicate that we can fill in almost nothing, there will be an answer. Ok then just fill in your name and address and your signature.
That information is on our 90-day form, which we also issue at that time.
We fill it in obediently and see the form disappear in a large banana box (archive)
???) Anyway, we always sing: This is Thailand and go home again. See you in 90 days, shall we say.
Ellis, if someone has not registered with the Embassy, those details are therefore not known there, I can still understand the question of contact addresses, both in Thailand and in the Netherlands.
Also ask me a few things, what does immigration actually want to do with the medical data?
Suppose you have high blood pressure or AIDS or TB or what not, is the extension of your annual visa or your 90-day notification refused and you have to scratch within 7 days?
If you don't have to scratch your head then Thailand might still have to face the medical costs of foreigners, what's the point of that question?
Or can you still stay on the basis of a health care policy or the bank balance you have?
Then the car question, if the car is in the name of the partner or wife, should it still be stated?
The details of deceased parents, to be mentioned or not?
Anyone have experience with these questions?
M curious.

First of all, what a lot of people sitting there waiting for that picture. If things are not going well here at the immigration in Loei then I have 1 person in front of me, but usually you are alone. I filled out the well-known new form for the first time in April and again last week and it will probably stay that way because she faithfully gives an empty copy every time. Health certificate, never needed it and I read something about a TM 47 ? Is unknown to me. I go in and hand over my passport, copy of every page used, the "new" form, put my signature and then staple the paper in the passport for next time and off I go.
From now on we also have to fill in the form in Pattaya
also see http://www.pattayatoday.net
Typical case of sunstroke with EOA official. What information do they not yet have? Info about my father who passed away 12 years ago? My mother of almost 92? What should they do with it?
I'm going to get a form like this in advance and fill it out at home. M curious.
Simply complete it once and then make a copy every 1 days (in color if necessary).
Hope that that health certificate will not be required, because an x-ray 5 x a year does not seem very healthy to me. They better ask about your health insurance.
And who is going to check all that? Do doctors also work at (some) Immigration offices?
The developer of an ordinary app, for example a keyboard, that I install on my smartphone already asks for access to my contact list, photos, emails, location data and I don't know what else.
You can always say 'no', but then you are left with just a regular telephone...
In that sense, the 'foreign national information form' is hardly threatening, certainly not now that the information will probably be stored in a huge and dusty archive.
We are waiting for the first government to oblige foreigners – and then perhaps its own nationals – to install a government app that also has access to all this data.
Perhaps an opportunity for Thailand to lead the way in something.
Went to Immigration Hua Hin today for the 90 day report. Only fill in the standard TM 47, hand over your original passport (no copies) and after 2 minutes a new document rolls out of the computer/printer... Just add the ruler to tear half off, and staple it in the passport. Nod and 5 minutes later back outside…
I'm curious next time if everyone has to fill in that "other" form... Then just put '-', they'll get tired of it quickly 😉
Can this new form be downloaded or will it be shoved under your nose the moment you come for an extension of your VISA and do you have to fill it in on the spot (difficult because I don't know some of the requested information by heart such as Thai bank account numbers and I also have to do it quickly run outside to see what the number of my car is and I have certainly forgotten the Thai sign for it)
I'm focusing on Soi 4 Jomtien so far
Piet
This form can be downloaded, see the 1st response, from Rens, then completely fillable via your computer.

Success.
