As Valentine’s Month brings a romantic atmosphere to the country, it’s important for long-term visitors, especially those on a Privilege Entry Visa (PE), to remain compliant with immigration laws. This guide highlights the newly expanded 90-Day Report Delivery Service now available in Phuket and Phang Nga, and outlines how Privilege Entry Visa holders can use this service either through service fees or by redeeming Privilege points.
What is 90-Day Reporting?
Mandatory for all foreigners with a Privilege Entry Visa staying in Thailand beyond 90 consecutive days, the 90-Day reporting requirement helps the Thai government track and manage the extended stays of international visitors effectively.
Streamlined 90-Day Report Delivery Service
Recognizing the need for convenience, Thailand has extended its 90-Day Report Delivery Service to additional key regions, including Phuket and Phang Nga. This service is designed to be swift and hassle-free, providing a significant convenience for visa holders.
Service Fees and Privilege Points: In regions like Bangkok, Nonthaburi, Samut Prakan, and Pathum Thani, the service costs THB 850, while in Phuket and Phang Nga, it is priced at THB 1,500. Alternatively, TPC members can choose to utilize one Privilege point to avail of the service regardless of location.
Required Documents: Visa holders need to provide their original passport and the TM30 form, which verifies a previous notification of staying over 90 days.
Pick-Up and Delivery Options: The service includes the collection and return of your passport directly at your residence, ensuring minimal disruption to your stay.
Key Dates and Service Locations
Note on Public Holidays: It’s important to remember that Thai public holidays, such as February 12th, will affect the availability of immigration services.
Where to Drop Off Documents: Residents of Phuket, Phang Nga, Chiang Mai, and Pattaya can access local offices for document drop-off, each tailored with specific service details and hours.
The expansion of the 90-Day Report Delivery Service to Phuket and Phang Nga underscores Thailand’s commitment to facilitating a hassle-free stay for international visitors. Compliance with immigration laws is crucial, and these convenient options ensure that you can enjoy your long-term visit without any legal troubles. Whether you’re here for leisure or romance, staying informed and utilizing the available services and privileges will make your Thai experience both memorable and enjoyable.
