The problem means that all expats needing to do their 90-day reporting must do so at one of the island’s immigration offices.

The Phuket News attempted to access the 90-day reporting webpage this morning (May 26) to find a message stating that the website is currently undergoing maintenance.

A Phuket Immigration official, who declined to be named, said “The website is another option for those people who need to do 90-day reporting. Unfortunately, as the website is currently not working they will need to report to the immigration office in Phuket Town or in Patong.

“It is not been active for a week. I don’t know how long it will take to fix the problem,” the official said.

“All I can confirm is that the problem is due to a server issue in Bangkok, it is not a problem caused here in Phuket. They are hurrying to fix the problem now,” he added.

The official said that should anyone have any problems they are still able to contact the Phuket Immigration Office by calling 076-221905.

“If that number is busy then people can always try the 1178 hotline,” he said.

The 90-day reporting web service went offline for “maintenance” in February (See story here.)

The Phuket News reported that the service was back online on April 25 (see story here), but learned only yesterday (May 25) that the handy service was unavailable yet again.
