Full name, date of birth, and passport number==============they have already
Full names of father and mother================== both dead
Full address and telephone numbers in home country============== I don't have any
Full address and telephone numbers of residence and workplace in Thailand=====don't work
Social media accounts and email address (optional)=======BE
Make of car/motorcycle, as well as its model, color, and license plate number====don't own,all in the wifes name
Frequently visited places such as clubs, restaurants, shops, hospital=========  Noi's Noodle Shop
Emergency contact details (one of Thai nationality and one of foreign nationality)===== the wife
Bank account details such as bank, branch, account name and account number (only required for certain visas)==============they have already


So it's not that intrusive really as they have most of the Info already ...apart from BE

My point is that as of yesterday starman's form was not required at KCI, therefore it is not needed.  One thing I have learned when dealing with GVT officials, do not offer them more than was is required.  And Co Co, Nookie and Starman are probably correct that this will become a KCI requirement, but until then I would recommend not to keep bringing it to KCI's attention or it can become a self imposed requirement. 


As I stated back in April, if and when KCI requires starman's form I will add it to the list (probably start a new Dummies thread). 

[Starman]

As of 13:00 today the form is now required.

I guess that has just answered your dick question.

I have never mentioned KCI.I SIMPLY STATED WHAT HAS HAPPENENED IN jOMTIEM IMMIGRATION

Congratulations on your success at getting KCI to implement the Starman Form. 

[Starman]

Idiot.

The form has been around since April.

The immigration officer said  that sometimes they forget to do it.All immigration offices have had a kick up the arse and been told to implement it. There is a copy in Thai and on in English.

HQ implemented it. I guess anyone with a problem should speak to them.

None so blind as a dick who will not listen !!


Maybe Stevo has been canvassing in Jomtien as well

Stevo was killed off, somewhat unceremoniously, years ago. 5555

With Starman's apparent success in getting KCI to implement the form it can be downloaded here:


Starman's Form:     http://newscontent.thaivisa.com/2016/06/22/Foreign_National_Information.pdf


As noted the file is too large for posting on this forum.

[Starman]

As you probably already know I am not an employee of the Royal Thai Police.

Thus I cannot be held responsible for this form.

[Starman]

Seeing as this form has so eloquently been named after me, I have taken it upon myself to convert it into Word format so it can be downloaded from here, for the benefit of all members.

 

[CO-CO]

I will open the betting now.


KCI didn't want my form when I went to do my extension - what odds that they WILL want one when I go back to get my 12 month stamp ?

IMHO it's much ado about nothing as highlighted by SofaKing
If you are applying for an extension of stay (using money in Thai bank option) then they already have your bank account details and phone number and if you use online 90 day reports then they have your email address. As far as I am concerned if I need to fill the form in then I can accept that this is one of the conditions I must satisfy to remain in the Kingdom.
Also IMHO it is unlikely that any posts on this (or other) forum will influence immigration to implement or not implement any change to their existing procedures. But thats just me...

Agree too.

As I previously said I was only posting a link to an interesting news story. In no way have KCI been informed, certainly not on my part anyway. Even if they were, the idea of them listening to an expat asking them to change their procedures is just ludicrous.

If you read the form there are a couple of fields that are optional and also one that only refers to a certain type of visa.
