Narration Transcript:
Ok so the second way to do the 90 day reporting is doing it by online although I personally don’t do it this way nor would I recommend it as the results seem varied and you’ll have to input personal information on a website that has security warnings. The reason why I even bother mentioning this method is simply because I know it exists, some people have had success, and I imagine it’ll eventually be working and reliable so you should be aware of it. For now however, being that the next method I’ll mention is reliable and in my opinion just as easy as the online reporting method, I don’t see a reason to risk the security warnings.
So basically he tells me they do everything legal related from multiple and single reentry permits, finance visas, and even visa runs which they charge 3300 baht and it includes the bus travel as well as the hotel stay and guidance at the Thai embassy in Laos. You will have to pay for the visa itself however which is another 1000 baht. Honestly if I was traveling here I’d just checkout another country like Vietnam for a few months before coming back to Thailand but services like these do exist for those that just can’t get enough of Thailand in their initial 60 days.
Thanks again guys for checking out this vlog. Currently I am editing this vlog on our trip in northern Thailand in Udonthani so I won’t be able to release 2 vlogs, but I am super excited to share all the fun content I have planned for you in the coming months which I promise will be for both viewers living in Thailand as well as those just planning a holiday.

Sorry guys. Typo on Chaengwattana!
Finally someone who understands and has posted a video on it!!! I’ve been literally going to chaengwattana for years and sitting here since 5:30am as I write this. I was never sure about the whole mailing thing, but I’m gna give it a try thanks to you! I’ll wait for the next 90 days 😁👍🏼
Yeah luckily I learnt from another expat that’s been doing it for a decade and thought it would be helpful to others too. Worst case the agency is totally worth it. Cause it’s about the price of the taxi fares w toll
Have mostly just mailed mine but twice the post is to slow and not getting it back to you. THEN YOU HAVE TO GO TO THE DREADED PLACE.
I just did my 90 day report here and its still 250B for anyone interested. Thanks for the tip!
You're welcome. Just spreading the knowledge cause someone else told me about it :)
Do you have the contact number for the agency by any chance?
Literally the most informative video I’ve watched for a very very long time. You freaking rock!
Thank you so much for the comment!!! You rock!!! :)
I used Asia Visa Consulting (Sukhumvit soi 24) to do my 90 day report and was happy with the quality of service. They seem very organized and I felt safe leaving my passport with them. I will probably do a multiple entry visa next week. After 10years I am really getting tired of going to Chaengwattana. Thanks for the tip!
I don't know how you did it for 10 years! The mailing is probably the best option however. Really easy once you figure it out. That's how I do it unless I am lat and I will go to Asia Visa
Really informative mate! I hope that this helps a lot of people that have to go through such a tediously annoying process!
Yup. just hoping people learn from my mistakes. Thanks for the comment!
Love how u showed every detail in the video. This will really help a lot of us with such situations :)
I really hope so... Ultimately I just want people to learn from my mistakes and not make the same mistake and suffer the frustrations and enjoy this great country.
So far, you are the only person who provided this information. Very useful info. Thanks.
Yeah... I don't like making these tutorial types of videos cause they are quite boring to make but when I try to find some kind of information on the web and have a lot of problems and come across a lot of misinformation I make them to help others who might be experiencing the same issues as I have. I am so glad this helped you. It makes it all worth while :)
LIVE TRAVEL ASIA thank for replying. I just signed in to you patron page, i like what you are doing. I hope my contribution will help you stay at it. I will be travel to Thailand for my vacation in Oct. Like to hook up with you, if you don't mind.
Thanks!! Very informative content as usual 😉☺️ we are about to do 90 days report sometimes soon and voila!
Mailing is really convenient!
I felt your frustrations but your right, no point getting angry. Thanks for sharing.
Haha honestly it wasn't even their fault. I think the thing I hated was getting up early for no reason lol. But I sorta already expected this and went through it knowing the risks cause I wanted to settle this once and for all so nobody else makes the same mistake again and things are clear. :)
Very nice and informative video. Superb. Thanks
You’re welcome!
awesome video!!!
Thanks Brooke!
Super useful video. I could totally understand your frustrations with this. Bureaucracy can be the worst part.
Yes... can't escape them even out here. But I just keep reminding myself how much worst the states was and it keeps me going haha. Thanks for the comment!
Great video Ethan
Thanks buddy! Took me long enough. I gotta get to the videos we shot 2 weeks ago! Haha
Okay I've officially become addicted to your channel haha, your personality is awesome and each video of yours just keeps getting better, you never disappoint! You have something really special and unique here with the way you create content because people can learn a lot from you and your videos, you provide value! I look forward to seeing more :D
JustNaderTv really appreciate it. Thank you so much.
@@livetravelasia Agree with JustNaderTv completely and I have lived here for 17 years! and am the former director of a Thai university graduate school of tourism management. Happy to have discovered your excellent 90 day report video and have subsribed. Dr. Jeffrey W.
Aww thank you! Appreciate the subscribe!
Well, even though your video is excellent and I like the agency, we had a problem. We mostly think of 90 days as 3 months so three months from the date on the entry/departure card (11 Aug). Not so! It is an actual count of 90 days and so would expire 9 Nov not 11 Nov. Also, seven days after includes all weekend days and the 90th day so was up yesterday the day I gave them the passport around noon. Even the agency miscalculated and was a day late when they brought my passport today Friday 16/11 and now I must show up at their office at 10:00 a.m. and go with them in a car up to Changwatana Immigration on Monday. So, now I must report in person as the agency did not go the same day, which I did not expect anyway, thinking they actually had seven business days after the 90 day mark which I thought to be the date on the departure card 11th of Nov. and then 7 business days going to Nov. 18th. This is Thailand and so if you are bad at bill paying as with utilities they make one go in person and now I see that it also applies to missing government deadlines. You might wish to caution people about the counting of the 90 Day dates and consequences in your, otherwise, excellent video.
Yes excellent point. It is truly 90 calendar days. I'd also like to add that even when I send my 90 day report by mail and send it 15 calendar days before 90 days by registered mail, I still sometimes get a stamp warning me I should send before 15 days although I've gotten that stamp many times and they've always just processed it anyways. I have heard the online reporting is a bit more reliable and I may eventually hop on it but reporting your 90 days report 60-70 days before due date by mail seems the best way to go for now. I have a system down where I already have envelopes and everything ready with an alarm on my iphone to remind me to do so. I am really sorry to hear you went through that that ordeal :( Hopefully 90 days reporting will be smooth sailing from now :)
Good video, very informative. I decided to look for an alternative to traveling to Chaengwattana from Ekamai because the BTS is almost unusable due to overcrowding. I know where the Japanese travel agency is on Sukhumvit Soi 24 and will try it as its a bit too late to mail in my 90 day report. The only concern I have is if they lose my passport. There is a real value (around $2000US) on the illegal passport market depending on which country it is from. I have personally witnessed a Thai lady working with several passports in a coffee shop in the Trendy building on Soi 13. For some reason she got up and left the passports sitting unattended on the table for over 20 minutes. I could have easily picked all them up and walked out of the shop which made me reluctant to use an agency. However, with the traffic and BTS situation as it is, I will try this week and hopefully it all works out well.
Yeah it’s a risk for sure. But I probably trust these guys more than I do myself knowing my girlfriend is Japanese and how anal she can get hahaha. But yeah chances are slim anything will happen in the one time you use them and just remember to use the mail feature in the future as it’s a lot more convenient and cheaper and safer
Nice video Ethan. I didn't notice it til now. I'm back in America now but would appreciate a video on the best way to file the TM30 visa which has received much press (and didn't start being asked for til I left Thailand). It'd be helpful to understand both how it's done as a condo owner like you are as well as someone renting or staying in hotels. I believe there's starting to be services that handle this too.
Yes Asia visa travel charges 2k cause you have to pay a late fee. I’ve heard some people sending it by mail and online is only available for the owner unless the owner gives you their user name and password which in itself is hard. I just shot myself applying for the password but no email back. Now I am in Pattaya trying to reset my tm30 so when I got to report 90 day tomorrow I don’t have to pay a penalty on tinge tm30. Will see how that goes. Simone told me the captain of immigration said that they can issue the online passwords at chang Watts a so trying to kill two birds with one stone
@@livetravelasia Do you always have to pay a fine if you use the agent? Seems better to avoid the fine if possible. Also I have heard 'unofficially' the only TM30 immigration checks is the most recent one before you renew a visa. Any insight into that being true or not?
thank you so much
You’re welcome!
If I have recently renewed my extension to stay, does that restart the clock on the 90 day check-in?
Do you mean you extended your visa? What’s the extension to stay? On the 60 day tourist visa? Cause 90 day check in is not applicable for tourist visa. Could you clarify what particular visa u extended?
Informative vlog & good control of your emotions even if you have a valid point. So Winter Olympics is starting. Are you Team Korea or Team USA?
Haha I like to root for the underdogs so I usually go for team Korea but usually the sports Korea and USA are dominant in are different anyways so there's usually little overlap. It gets difficult when it comes to figure skating and short track however cause those are the fun sports to watch and korea and usa are pretty good at both. But I think I'll be rooting mainly for Thailand now haha. Unfortunately not many Thais in the winter olympics. :P
thanks!
Thank you for the comment :)
This seems like a stupid question bec i saw your videos and you mentioned that one option is to fly to your home country then return... and since an immigration officer will stamp your passport, there will be no need of going to CW, right? Then it will serve as your "report." Is it 7 days before and 7 days after? sorry for this but someone warned me not to do that.
I think you get possibly a 7 day grace period but I never tested it. Once I was late by a day and the officer sorta scolded me not to do it again but I got away with it. Also remember to get a reentry stamp as going out will devoid your visa without a reentry stamp
Good one.
Thanks man. Not sure how your comment slipped through the cracks but thanks for dropping one!
You're welcome. :)
Thanks for saving me a trip. I saw the point about chamchuri just moments before a train arrived that would have taken me on a pointless journey. went to Chaeng Wattana instead.
Glad you didn’t have to waste time like I did. The new 90 day reporting app is apparently working great
Online app didn't work for me on any browser. server is sending javascript with wrong Mime type. Browser rejects it. Form doesn't work.
I mean a phone app. There’s a new iOS app. Pretty sure one for Android. The online one worked for me too on chrome and safari that’s strange
This vid doesn't get old! Very handy. Btw, can the visa run be done just before the end of the 3 months or 2 weeks prior ? My stamps says Feb5th so 3 months = around May 5th. Arrived in Cambodia on Apr.26th. Returning today, 29.
Visa runs can be done as long as you exit before the end of 3 months and no requirement as to how far before. It's really not a visa run but just a resetting cause you don't need to get another visa. That being said you need to get a reentry stamp. Super critical as that will invalidate your visa if you don't. They have the reentry stamp available right before or after immigration officer depending on which airport
@@livetravelasia Super clear, thanks Ethan! The office did stamp the re-entrry date. I have the 3800Baht multiple-entry visa.
Yeah that works out if you do 3 or more trips outside
Thumbs Up^^^^
Thank you!
Wait, so this is just for work permits? What do we need to do if we want to live there but dont want to work there? What visa do I get? Procedures? Requirements?
Really depends. If you want to retire get a retirement visa, just show some kind of money in the bank account to prove you don't have to work. If you want to study get an education visa or if you just have a ton of money and you aren't in retirement age there is even an elite visa that you can literally pay your way into living here and investment visas for those who want to invest a lot of money into Thailand. A visa for almost every purpose and I am not an expert in all of them and the requirements change. But I recommend you come on a tourist visa multiple entry from the Thai embassy in your country and find out which one works for you. As long as you aren't doing anything illegal there is virtually a visa for everyone. Regardless as a foreigner you still have to do this 90 day report for most visas however. If you do make it out here you'll know what this video is about. Its something we all deal with every 90 days
cool figurines :)
Thanks! Glad you noticed them!
Is it applicable for Indians also for 90 day stay in Thailand or Bangkok
my understanding is that it's applicable for all non thai-citizens that are on any visa other than the tourist visa in which case you are forced to leave the country in 90 days anyways. However citizens of Myanmar and Cambodia and some other ASEAN countries have a dedicated immigration office for them so that would be the only difference I know of as far as the 90 day report for citizens of different countries. unless you were explicitly told you don't have to do the 90 day report, you would most likely have to do it as the government wants to know where foreigners are residing at all times.
Can an agency also set up the TM.30 for you???
I think so but I haven’t done one lately and laws always changing. Just go to an agency and find out
Today is 2020-08-11, I went to Asia Visa Consulting yesterday. The current 90-day report price is 370 baht.
Thanks for the update
Can you tell you how to calculate the due date of 90-days report? I arrived on 12 June. Thanks before:)
You need to report it like 15 days before or something but when I mail it in even 20 days or something I still sometimes got a stamp warning me to send it in earlier. Safe bet is to just send the letter in about a week into your last month. I haven't seen anyone get it rejected for sending it too early as of yet. But I've even sent it in with only 10 days and they just stamped a warning and still let it work
@@livetravelasia Thanks you so much for your information.
You're welcome!
One thing you did not cover is what to do when your mailed in report does not come back in the mail. WHAT TO DO THEN?
Hasn’t happened to me but if it doesn’t come back go to immigration with the receipt for the registered mail you sent it in. No different than having to go to immigration if you didn’t mail it. You send it in weeks ahead so you have plenty of time plus physical proof you sent it although that’s not even necessary cause you can just go before you’re due for the 90 day report
I went to Thailand for just over 2months in my gap year and fell in love with the country. I had to do this for my stay there! I can’t acyually remember but I think we done it online.
MummyandMunchkin really? We have to do this every 90 days. You had to still check in at 60? Were you maybe extending the 60 day travel by an additional 30?
LIVE TRAVEL ASIA actually it was possibly that. It was 2013 I went so my brain is fussy. I just remember I had to do some visa extension thing and send off my passport. 🤷🏻♀️. I don’t know. Baby brain 😂
MummyandMunchkin haha yeah as long as it’s taken care of I guess. I don’t know what I am doing w immigration half the time as well lol.
Did the 250 baht option work for you, no problems? :) thanks for such a great video 👌
Yeah I didn’t have any problems. They were very professional. I’ve only gone there once and now I remember to do the 90 days report haha
@@livetravelasia Love your channel! do you still use the same Japanese agency for 90 day report or any new place you can recommend?
Hey BUd, this is Nathan from Innlingua :) I was looking for this exact thing and found you by accident. Hope all is well man.
Haha what's up buddy. Actually all this info was what I learnt from the teachers. One of the teachers told me about Asia Visa Tour and Nick told me about the mail method. I tried online reporting using the new app and it worked great. Should check it out. Seems more reliable than the online one. Hope all is well buddy
I travelled to Bangkok 2 times on tourist visa
it wouldn't apply to you than because you have to leave in 90 days anyways so you'd fall under the first method. virtually you are telling the immigration officer at the airport where you are staying with the arrival card so that satisfies it.
What sort of risk is there that they deny the extension? Provided that you've not gotten into trouble, everything is legit and you've been by the book since day one and it's on time? It's my only worry, that after living the life I want to,that someone decides to stop me outa the blue.
This is just a 90 day check in. But yes one of the downside of living in this country is that you're always a guest. No place like home I guess
@@livetravelasia thank you! Hopefully I'll be able to buy you a singha to thank you soon!
Highland Outsider haha you’re welcome. I am free mondays and Thursday’s usually and as far as the 90 day reporting by mail goes, I haven’t had an issue so far and my boss who introduced me to this method had been doing it for years without any issue. He’s so convinced in the system he keeps telling everyone thailand has the best mail system in the world which even I think is a stretch but he believes it and I can’t prove him wrong either haha
The immigration policies are insane all over it appears! I'm an expat in the Czech Republic, and will be visiting the Ministry of Interior 4 or 5 times this month alone to sort out standard visa issues. I feel your pain for sure!
Study Hard Travel Smart damn... 4-5 times is a whole new level than what I’ve experienced. That totally sucks man. Fighting!!!!
How to apply online tourist visa
I am not aware of a method. You'll usually have to visit the embassy
v.gm.well well my little shirt stacker we've got a little superstar in making
Haha I know this millenial stuff ain't your thing but I appreciate the view and comment uncle!
Chocolate teapots. I cannot submit my TM 47 online.
Are you using the iOS app? If not there are issues w compatibility w certain browsers and such it seems? Googling will lead you to forums that talk about it. It could also be because of this corona chaos cause I hear immigration is a mess right now
@@livetravelasia No app. Tried Chrome, Firefox and got to stage three with Explorer but it froze up. Have tried for three days now. I have to drive over 200 km roundtrip to Issan immigration. Nuts.
A bit of a hassle tho hahahaha but as long as u love Thailand 🇹🇭 🌸💓
Maueee's Happy Feet haha this is one of the hassles but the benefits definitely outweigh stuff like this. Beurocracy is actually worst in the states so I am used to it. You just gotta learn how to deal w it. Hoping others can avoid the frustration by just learning from my mistake. Knowing what I know now this shouldn’t ever be a problem. :)
