The official that dealt with my 90 day report also told us that there had been a lot of complaints due to the time it was taking in hand-writing all the forms required for the visa extensions. Foreigners complaining at extension re-newals ? Dodgy.
Quote from: finnomick on July 28, 2012, 08:04:47 PMReading other posts especially by Various 57 and Nookiebear regarding the 90 day report -- and please do not shoot me, I'm only the messenger -- last time I did my 90 day report in Korat on 30.04.2012., they informed me that in future, ALL my extension requests AND 90 day reports must now be done at Kap Choeng. They went on to say that if I turned up at Korat to do a 90 day report, they would not deal with it. Obviously, and as has been noted earlier, all immigration officers interpret their rules in their way. Pity really because the misses and I made a day of it going to The Mall etc to buy groceries and passing Do Home was also very handy.I'm sure your correct Finnomick,the problem with Immigration or anything Government run is they all make up their own rules.What's OK at one place is not OK at another.Now that 90 day reporting is computer generated you would think it would make it easier.Lets say you live in Buriram on the border with Korat,why travel all the way to KC when Korat Immigration is so close,it just doesn't make sense ,does it The rules state all 90 reports can be done by post but KC doesn't do it ,KC Immigration used to do a Letter of Residency for free but when they moved to Korat it all of a sudden became 500Baht. I paid 300 baht for my new 5 year driving licence and was in and out in 20 minutes even though my old licence was 4 month out of date,others I have read pay 500 baht and have to sit and read the Highway code for an hour .All part of the fun of Thailand

The desk to your extrem right and inback has a computer and printer that is used for froums. To your extrem left is another computer with printer and has the TOT Modem next to it. The desk to your left as you enter the room has a computer. All of these computuers are connected to TOT internet. Their printor is in the front by the restrooms. On the desk in the office are plastic bukets for you to put change in for copies. They do not have a passport reader which they need for 90 day reporting. All of this kit was taken from the Korat office. The computuers and TOT Intenet has been connect and in use for two months.
Sorry Gotlost, things have changed since you were last in. I sat at the desk immediately on the left as you go in the office. Nothing on it so plenty of room to write out forms. Yes, there is a printer at the back where they keep forms but not a computer in sight. They must have cleared them all out so as not to be embarrassed when people ask why the computers are not in use. Whatever, no doubt this will change.....
Sorry , But am am confused.I have been coming to Thailand for over 5 years now using Double entry visas and extensions.At the moment I am in SURIN. My Visa on arrival expires on 9th October.My understanding is that I can extend this for 15 days(this is how things work at Jomtien Immigration, Same at Khon Kaen Immigration Office).Can someone please advise me what to do!!! Do I go to Kap Choeng Immigration Office? Or to Chom Chong? Or do I do a visa run? Sorry again for my ignorance, but the frustrations are getting to me. Thanks in Advance your help.
