90 Day Reporting, at the immigration office

[SOM LUCK]

Thanks for that, where is Kap Cheong

When you say you are on the 226 I assume you mean on the way to Lamplaimat??  If so then you must travel along the 226 in the opposite direction to Korat, and head towards Surin. As you approach Surin you will see a sign to Prasat and a set of traffic lights. Turn right there. When you reach the end of that road, about 15kms, turn right again. Then follow the road. You will pass through Prasat. Continue along, through another set of traffic lights. About 30kms down that road is Kap Cheong.

A slightly longer drive for you but much much less traffic. Plus there is more road that is 4 lanes.

[SOM LUCK]

Thanks again, we will give it a try tomorrow morning.  In Kap Cheong is the immigration office on the main road.

Other side of the road to BANGKOK BANK maybe 25 yards before hand up a road about 50 yards it is sign posted.
BANGKOK BANK ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE AS YOU GO IN.

Thanks all

Yeah, that's a heap of fun the first time

Becomes a bit repetitive after awhile.

I now plan any trip to Kap Choeng immigration around days I know my wife will be unable to accompany me

Anybody driving to immigration from Buriram to make a 90 day run  on or before 13/03? I will be happy to share expenses for a ride. I live near the Rama 1 statue just south of Buriram Agriculture College.

Thai Immigration Bureau to blacklist all overstayers of more than 90 days
 
 
 
BANGKOK: -- [thaivisa.com] Over the past two weeks, social media websites such as Twitter and Facebook have been flooded with information on an apparent crackdown by Immigration on foreigners that overstay their visa in Thailand.
 
 
 
Today, Thaivisa.com has been given access to a new Police order proposal that is due to be signed and released imminently, detailing tough new measures for foreigners who overstay in Thailand.
 
 
 
The new measures, which will see overstayers of more than 90 days blacklisted, are as follows:
 
 
 
 
 
In the case that alien surrenders themselves:
 
 
 
Overstay more than 90 days > Forbidden from re-entering the kingdom for 1 year.
 
 
 
Overstay more than 1 year > Forbidden from re-entering the kingdom for 3 years.
 
 
 
Overstay more than 3 years > Forbidden from re-entering the kingdom for 5 years.
 
 
 
Overstay more than 5 years > Forbidden from re-entering the kingdom for 10 years.
 
 
 
Overstay more than 10 years > Forbidden from re-entering the kingdom for life.
 
 
 
 
 
In the case that the alien is being apprehended:
 
 
 
Overstay for less than 1 year > Forbidden from re-entering the kingdom for 5 years.
 
 
 
Overstay for more than 1 year > Forbidden from re-entering the kingdom for 10 years

A very good move! Each case might be different but if a foreigner cannot stay with a proper visa in Thailand and cannot realize by himself he shouldn't be in Thailand, maybe Thailand need to decide for him.

Apart of it, another subject I disagree is the (In my opinion) unfair requirments and status of married couple and people whom have children in Thailand but still yet must show money in Thai bank account (400-700K Baht) for so many years before getting the chance to apply citizenship.

Nice well thought out comment, Admin. So if I am one day overstay at the airport (overstay less than one year) then I get banned for 5 years?
I notice that no appeals procedure seems to be in place, so if the Immigration oficer doesn't like your face, that's it.
I was recently on overstay, I misread the renewal stamp, at KapChoeng they took some time to decide that I was in fact on overstay, it was a smudged mess, almost unreadable. The border guard at Chom Chung rang them up and told them what he thought of them. My fault of course, but absolutely no ill will intended, I had to go to Vientiane, expensive business plus a new mariage extension..
Of course there are many people around that decide that they will go on overstay, they just don't have /no longer have the required income / bank balance to qualify. (They haven't increased them YET). A friend in Buriram had all his money stolen from him, just after he had built a new house and established a family. He certainly doesn't want to go back to poverty in Germany, and I don't think that he is an evil parasite. Another German guy in Buriram had his 800 000 taken from him by his wife who hasn't told him about the 400 000 requirements for married people, obviously, and is now living from day to day without an extension. He is 83 and doesn't want to go back either. These are problems that have been created by Thailand, not the people that come here and are actually contributing something to society here.
I think that the junta, laudable as its efforts are to correct things, are showing signs of Farangophobia and that this will in time affect all of us, including the holier than thou guys that were celebrating the end of visa runs recently.

5 year banned by being 1 day overstay is if your apprehended by the authorities. If you turn yourself in, up to 90 days overstay, your home free.

I am sorry but I really don't understand this comment.

The fact that people go on overstay because they don't understand, or choose to ignore, the rules is Thailand's fault?

I would have thought that those visiting Thailand or coming for a long stay would find out about visa rules before coming.

It is quite easy to get visas local to Thailand.
