With that logic movie theater better inform immigration your presence

Soon the electronic ackle bracelets will be mandatory for all foreign visitors.

I only asked trying to guage just how serious they were about reporting.   Told them that in future he would have to drive home drunk because immigration is over 100 kilometers from our house and I did not intend to travel that far.      In an attempt to not leave a trail of where I have been I ask my wife to use her ID when we check in anywhere and when they ask for my passport I only give them my ID card.   This has worked OK so far.

Yes. This reporting can lead to silly considerations..

In my case I moved from BKK and now live in Ubon. which is now my official reported address.

Next year I'll have to go to BKK a couple times to get documents certified at the Belgian Embassy.

I plan to fly out first flight from Ubon to BKK and come back last flight same day.

I wonder what they'd say if I asked Immigration if I have to report anything as I certainly will not stay anywhere in BKK other than in the BTS and at the airport. 

Crazy !!

Thai citizens (with an ID card) can register for an online immigration account.  TM30 can then be done online - no need to leave the comfort of your own home.  

This was suggested to us by Immigration in Sakon Nakhon and we are only a 7 minute drive from their office.

Then you have never ‘stayed’ anywhere else.  You are still living/sleeping at your home.

I had heard about the on line reporting before but still do not know how to go about this.   Would you not think that immigration I went to would have said something when they know I have a two hour drive to get to their office.

The other problem with reporting some one staying with you is that they have to report again when they go somewhere else or they will have problems with immigration themselves!

Have looked into getting residence status?

I believe you qualify

Only 100 people from each country get this each year.

I looked at this option when this was first enforced and when I attempted to register for an online account at the end of the detail input I was presented with an on screen message:

if you proceed  with this action you are granting permission to access your xxxxxxxx.

Clearly I decided not to proceed with applying for an immigration account.

Did my 90 day yesterday, at soi 5. Been on a couple of out of town trips during the past 90 days... Absolutely nothing said, in fact, all the IO wanted to talk about was Australia...  guess it is the luck of the draw..

My Immigration office puts all my TM30's and 90 day forms in the bin. No fines when late.

90 day reporting and those doing permission to stay 30 days, and  tourist visa extensions are being treated differently
