There have been many threads on this topic lately. I've seen the signs at Chonburi Immigration. It is a new obligation.  

 

If you want answers regarding how long you have to be out of the country before reporting back becomes necessary when you return - there are none.  There are lots of different theories and it seems that different offices have different policies on this. The problem is some of these offices may change their policy on a daily basis depending on who you see.

 

This has nothing to do with the condo manager. It's an obligation that you must fulfill personally. Once your condo manager has reported you on a TM30 form when you initially moved in, he has done his duty. Unless you report to him, how would he know who's going overseas trips?

 

If you've been out of the country I would recommend you make a trip to report your return. The "might as well" answer you didn't like is right on the money IMO. 

I moved here two years ago. I always tell my condo manager when i am going away regarding, water, electricity and er...immigration matters.  I have not changed address. I have completed my arrival form at immigration when I arrived. " Might as well" is not a sensible option. I will go if required. I just wish I could get accurate advice. Has the rule changed in the last 6 weeks? ***** Am I obliged to report to my local IO 24 hours after leaving the airport? *****That is my question. Thanks all for relevant input.

if you leave the country the 90 day reporting resets (so 90 days after entering the country)

The online link hardly ever works.

This thread IS NOT about 90 day reporting.

When is your next reporting due? 

 

FYI the 90 day report can be done online.

The link is here: https://extranet.immigration.go.th/fn90online/online/tm47/TM47Action.do

 

Thanks to Ubonjoe

 

But am afraid I cant tell if you have to do it before you are due for the next reporting or now that you are back.

 

 

Please stop .

There is a 15 to 7 days window before your report date you can submit the application online. Anytime within that window would give you enough time to do the report in person or contact your local office about the pending online report.
The new 90 days starts from the date the report is approved which is the same as doing a report in person.

 

On Sept 27 he commented:

There is really no excuse for doing the reports late since you have a window of 15 days before or 7 days after the report date to do them. You can also do them by mail if you cannot do the online reporting.
The standard fine for not reporting or being late is 2000 baht but they could fine you up to the maximum fine of 5000 baht and if they wanted to they could charge an additional fine of 200 baht a day.

 

Hope this adds to your knowledge.

Not relevant. I am not talking about my 90 day reporting. Please desist from confusing the issue.

Not relevant. I know I have to report in 90 days. This was not my question.

Yes the man in question has not done well

 

But lets not forget alcoholism and drug addiction are both illnesses,as is manic depression, and bi polar disorder, to name but a few, and just maybe think but for the Grace of God that could have been me

 

What goes around comes around and just lets hope some of the overcritical ones never wind up them selves in a similar position

 

He is British citizen. He paid taxes when he was in the UK. Whilst living outside the UK he has used no UK resources. His family have paid taxes. His parents and grandparents cough in two world wars. The current anti expat laws are a disgrace.

This is good  and obviously should mean Yingluck should be ok in the UK, better than a prison in Thailand

She is a hero who should not be put in prison anywhere. She got voted into power. Nobody ever voted for you.

You don't. As a nation we give more help than any country on earth. Unfortunately.

Given that this character is 41, and has spent the last 15 years in Thailand, he can't have paid little in the way of National Insurance contributions.

 

 

More than most immigrants legal or illegal. 30 years contributions is a full pension BTW

Might as well!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No. Never get needlessly involved with Bureaucracy unless obliged to. Thanks for the input but I need an expert to tell me my legal obligations. I have never had to do this before but we have a new condo manager who is not lazy at all but might not know the ropes as well as the last one did. As I have not changed my address I doubt I have to report but would like confirmation or otherwise from an old hand. Thanks for your views and time.

Thais males out in the sticks dress in a similar manner. Same same but darker.

Only low class males and not in the city.

Cheap flights to blame. Never saw garbage like this 40 years ago. 

A lot is Australian and Russian culture. Aussies have no sense of style or tradition of dressing up, no fashion icons, no mods, no history of textiles. In some parts of Australia they even wear boys shorts for work and think rubber sandals are appropriate footwear for public company. As for the Russians...look to their leader posing topless. Its not just topless men but those ugly bare feet and dirty yellow toe nails exposed in flip flops and thongs.  But such people have no self awareness and are usually unhappy because they get ripped off and disrespected...all over the civilised world. In smart parts of Australia such style of dress is just considered country bumpkin. Whether British, Russian Thai or Australian naked tops, armpit hair, dirty feet reflect a lack of sensitivity and ignorance.

Why do so many Farangs walk and ride about shirtless off the beach areas?  Okay, if you  are lucky enough to look like Adonis on a good day then maybe you have some justification and pride in your own body ( although I would save it for the beach and pool)  but the ones I  inevitably see are old, fat and  look ridiculous. I saw one in  SCG yesterday and  another two in Tesco the day before.  I could hear the Thais talking about them and  their appearance in the most derogatory terms.  I just dont get it. 

I agree its dreadful. People have no sense of shame or dignity.  I have seen topless guys in Tuk Com and in Sukhumvit in Bangkok.. They are just really stupid, unaware, insensitive people who know no better.

23thb  Cans of archa lol

Are things really that bad? 

Post up a bitcoin address and we can donate you a few shakels to have a proper drink lol

Very amusing but what is wrong with Archa beer?

I am sorry if this has been asked before but I know things change.

1. I have just arrived back in Thailand from a visit to the UK.
2. My visa type is extension based on retirement.
3. I know I have to report to my local  IO (Jomtien) in 90 days.
4. I am living at the same address as when I last reported to the IO  - My permanent address in Thailand
5. It is the same address as I wrote in my Arrival card. 
6. My question is: Do I have to report to the IO now, as in ASAP to notify them of my arrival.
7. Should the Condo Manage/Juristic person have to report my arrival back in the condo?
8. I have never reported to immigration in such circumstances before, only for 90 day reporting .
9. If such an action had to be taken I assumed my condo manager had done it. Is this a wrong assumption?

Thanks in advance for any advice

Blocking intersection, even if not 100% correct, is the safest way to pass when riding in convoy, in order to avoid to split it up and rick incident caused by misunderstanding with other road users (I know is a pain if you are the one blocked at red light...)any organized group of bikers ( or other convoys) I have ever saw in Thailand does like this, probably for a convoy that long they should have asked for police escort (and they would have blocked the intersection).

Just as usual the rant is because the bikers were foreigners, guess if the shock would have been the same in case was one of the local MC...

 

 

Ban all bike Gangs.

Yes, they should be lucky to make a  living. Go 40 Kilometers up the road to Bang Saen and there is no ban. The ban in Pattaya defies all logic.

But who wants to go bang saen....there is <deleted> all to do and no deck chairs!

I went once lazt year. Once was enough. Very dissapponted with food , hygiene and cservice. An empty depressi  place. The glory days are long gone.

What this guy did was just plain stupid, but, I wonder what the tally would be if someone sat down and added up all the houses stolen from foreigners, businesses stolen from foreigners, money stolen from foreigners, diamonds stolen from governments, etc., etc.

Exactly, how much would it be?

 

Perhaps, but I doubt it, Thai people will stop trying to characterize people negatively.

 

There are websites that track the deaths of foreigners, maybe we need a site for stolen monies.

Meaningless comment. Any such list wouldbe far outwieghed by all the millions to did not get cheated etc.
