But isn't your address reported on the TM 'whatever number' you fill out when returning from overseas or another country at Immigration? I'd think that qualifies as your reporting your address.

Correct Mike.

A TM6 is required every time you enter the country (except in Prakhonchai Nick's case when a new one is completed when he exits the country).

Having entered the country this also resets the clock for 90 day address reporting as you are deemed to have presented yourself to immigration.

That covers you, but GL is correct in saying that it the householder who must report your presence.

 

[AussieBill]

I think I will start putting my Pattaya address on the TM6 card to match my 90 day reports. One day the computer system may actually work properly and some poor IO will scratch his/her (lots of pretty little girls training to be IO's at boot camp now) head in confusion.

...I can't seem to locate the threads pertaining and initiated by sponsor Karakara's experience at KCI when he was provided with a fine since his wife had not reported him back into the country.

That report was supposed to have been provided to the local Police (ie: Surin).

Pray tell contributing members , what the was that OP and those threads all about ?

As I can not locate presently, was it not about the landlady , landlord or wife filing a form with the local Police ?

Please clarify as I recall Rice had raised some questions regarding if a friend visits and stays over with a second friend , must the second friend file a report with the local Police ?

"In that area" - if they had used the phrase "in the vicinity" it would have been much clearer.

You are slipping Coffee - post No. 13 to this thread.

 

[Coffee]

THANK You Nomad

Your land lord, in this case your wife has to report you living in her house within 24 hours to her local cop shop of you returning from say a trip back home.

No. Anytime WE leave our domicile for an over nighter in country or out of country the landlord needs to report us returning within 24 hours.. The first of October we shall go to Chiang Mai for maybe a week. When we return the wife by their laws needs to report me back into the KC cop shop. Will sheshrug1 Like F@$# she will.

Yes, indeed , as gotlost states : every foreigner has to report every change of address within 24 hours of relocation, even if it is for a visit to family or whatever. If you stay in a resort or hotel they normally do it automatically for you ... but if you stay with family or friends one should report it to the local BIB. It is also for foreigners in our own country but we never paid or pay attention to it as we are not foreigners in our own country but if we are in Thailand our landlord/our spouse has to report to the local BIB that we are staying at his/her premises. This is not a new law , it is a very old one that has never really been applied.
I've never done it personnally but on my return next month I will have my wive to go to the local BIB to report my staying at her house and ask for a written statement of this so that when I go to do my 90-day reporting I have it as back-up so I can stuff it in front of their noses.

So {Co-Co} , what was all this information previously posted on this Forum by not one , but two knowledgeable and experienced 'living in LOS' members ?
Sounds like "report to the Police" , eh ?

GL & Croc - do you solemnly swear to the validity of your previous posts ?

Nomad , I'm not the only one slipping...but I will be drinking tonight ! Chokdee5

I don't repeat myself Coffee.

I simply refer you back to my post which was extracted from the immigration website.

Hearsay is something different.

 

[Coffee]

hearsay , you say ?

Yes and this is a Forum for expats that supposedly is here to help cut through the chaff.

Actual experience and knowledgeable posts from long-term 'on premises' members are referred to as hearsay. shrug1

Yes now , please refer to the written "rules of the road" particularly translated from Thai into the English language format no matter what KCI specifically instructs you to do in Issan.

I must have missed something along the way. Where exactly are the regulations dictating the Police to follow up on expat Immigration status ?
Is it in the Neighborhood Policing written policies I've heard so much about recently. (Is that now construed as possibly 'hearsay' ?)

No worries as the written codes are always enforced to the letter...particularly the English translated version. Crazy1

 

[nomad97]

I think what most have said is that previously no-one reported their change of address after a spell away. I know for fact that neither I nor my wife have ever reported my trips away and subsequent return to Surin. Earlier this year I was up and down to Bangkok for medical treatment, 3 days away and 4 days at home for a 6 week period. It would have been a right pain in the arse to have had to drive to KCI every week to report my return to Surin.

It is also being said that the Immigration Police now seem to be checking up and enforcing notification of return to one's home address in Surin. In one particular case, Karakara, his wife received a fine for non-reporting Karakara's return from an away trip. Surin also reported being spot-checked after returning from out of Kingdom although his somewhat unique personal circumstances left the BIB's bemused and empty handed.

So far, unless I have missed it, no-one has said whether they have reported to a Police Station in Surin or KCI. However, several members, myself included, have said they intend to start reporting their return to Surin in the future. When that happens I hope they post their experiences on this forum. I am sceptical that the main Police Station in town will be interested in the slightest. For those living in non-rented accommodation I fully expect their wives to report, in person, to KCI. For those who live in rented accommodation they will need their landlord/landlady to do it for them.

The last point is that so far these home visits by Immigration checks have only been initiated because individuals have left and returned to Thailand. Presumably, they are following up on the address given on the arrival card. I don't think anyone has reported receiving a visit after spending a few days or a week or so on holiday in Thailand.

Interesting times.

Not I for one.

However, I am still at a loss to know if you ever spend time in hospital, are they required to report you as being there?

Yorky will already know that Mugabe is an anagram of "e ba gum". Not only an anagram but whatever the posh word is for same spelled backwards.
