I've just got back from the 90 Day report from hell!!! :cuss:

Mrs BB tried all of the usual routes for 90 day fast stream. Every one of them replied, "No 90 day fast stream service today."

I prepared myself for the long haul. At one stage I calculated that it would take 23.5 hours to be seen, based on their throughput, and my number i.e. 4 days later (7 hour working day). Basically, in 1 hr 50 minutes, the 5 desks processed a total of 5 people.

All of the seats in the waiting room were full, the seats outside were full, there must have been 2 dozen people leaning against the walls, and even the seats in the portaloos lined up outside for Musical on the Beach were filling up.

Eventually, despite being Thailand, common sense prevailed :shock: . One of the desk officers stood up and announced 90 day reporters could line up at his desk, and he would process them (I don't have to tell you who was first in the line :D ). They'd moved from 5 desks processing 5 people in 1 hr 50 minutes to processing each customer in less than a minute.

^^^^ The best way to beat that BS is to be there at 08-30 am. Even then, I was number 8 last week as it was 08-40 by the time I got inside, AND then 09-10 before I got through.

I have only ever seen the same officer there working at 08-30, the rest wander in in dribs and drabs until around 09-00 am. One helpful lady spent 10 minutes cleaning her desk, another 10 minutes nattering to one of the others, so it was 09-00 am before she actually did anything!

When the 90 day fast stream is open, there's nothing to beat. They were obviously getting too many satisfied customers,

Our immigration office in Salaya has a neat system for the 90-day reporting. You chuck your passport in a basket (you don't even need to fill in a form), and a minion does the necessary on the computer. In the blink of an eye it's done, and you're out.

VS ;)

It's such an easy process, it should be like that everywhere.

Dreamers. First door 90 days is for Myanmar citizens. My question: Where did you see confirmation of 90 days report online and where did you see confirmation of 5 year visa after 3 consecutive year visa ??? BULLSHIT
You may dream , but pls. avoid giving false hopes to other people.
