90 REPORTING - REGISTERED HOME ADDRESS

[aussieinphuket]

OK MAYBE I HAVE A BIT BLASE ABOUT SO CALLED REGISTERING ADDRESS WHEN RETURNING FROM OVERSEAS OR MAYBE I JUST

REALLY DONT UNDERSTAND WHAT THIS NEW RULE IS ALL ABOUT... 

 

WE HAVE LIVED HERE OVER 10 YEARS AT THE SAME RESIDENCE WE OWN, ALL PREVIOUS RETIREMENT VISA EXTENSIONS DONE

WITH THIS ADDRESS WHICH WE OWN..

 

I HAD SEEN FROM READING VARIOUS THREADS ABOUT WHEN YOU RETURNED YOU AHD TO REPORT WITHIN 24 HRS TO IMMIGRATION

YOU ADDRESS... BUT BECAUSE WE HAD NEVER DONE THIS BEFORE WE DECIDED NOT TO START, THE SAME FOR MANY OF MY OTHER

FRIENDS WHO TRAVEL FREQUENTLY THEY HAVE NEVER DONE IT EITHER....

 

ANYWAY I AM STILL NOT ANY THE KNOWLEDGEABLE...

 

I WENT TO PHUKET IMMIGRATION TODAY TO DO OUR 90 DAYS REPORTING FOR MY WIFE AND I..

 

I DID THE LAST ONE ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO AND ALL I HAD TO DO WAS COLLECT A TICKET FROM THE TOURIST POLICE GENTLEMAN

THEN WAIT MY TURN AND HANDED OVER MY PASSPORT, THE IMMIGRATION GUY JUST TYPES SOMETHING INTO THE COMPUTER THEN

STAPLED THE PIECE OF PAPER INTO THE BACK OF MY PASSPORT CONFIRMING I HAD DONE THE REPORTING..... INCASE YOU GET STOPPED

AT THE AIRPORT FOR OVER STAYING...

 

ANYWAY TODAY.

 

1. GET TICKET 

2. TOLD NEED 4 PHOTO COPIES NOW OF FRONT PAGE PASSPORT, VISA WE ARE HERE ON (THAI ELITE), COPY ARRIVAL WHITE CARD, AND COPY

    ARRIVAL STAMP.

 

DONE. I SIT DONE WITH IMMIGRATION MAN DESK NO.1 ALL SEEMS OK THEN, WHY HAVE YOU NOT REGISTERED YOUR ADDRESS WITH US.

I TOLD HIM I AM SURE THIS HAS BEEN DONE MANY TIMES BEFORE AS I HAVE LIVED HERE 10 YEARS AND NOT MOVED... HE GOT A BIT SHIRTY 

SAYING SOMETHING LIKE 'WELL I AM FROM HERE AND  SHOULD KNOW' , I DIDNT PUSH THE ISSUE AND SAID OK SO WHAT DO I NEED TO DO...

 

1. COPY ID (PASSPORT OK)

2. RESIDENCE ADDRESS (FINE NO PROBLEM,  BUT THEY WANT COPY BLUE BOOK AND COPY CHANOTE TITLE.....)

 

SOME MINOR OTHER ITEMS BASICALLY IRRELEVANT...

 

CAN SOMEONE BRIEF EXPLAIN TO ME, WHEN I SHOULD HAVE REGISTERED MY ADDRESS AND WHAT THEY ARE ON ABOUT.

IS IT SOMETHING TO DO WITH REPORTING WITHIN 24 HRS WHEN YOU ARRIVE BACK INTO THE COUNTRY..

 

AS ITS FRIDAY AND I LIVE A REASON WAY FROM THE IMMIGRATION OFFICE I TOLD THE GENTLEMAN I WOULD RETURN MONDAY...

 

 

I AM SURE THERE ARE MANY OTHER THREADS ABOUT THIS WHICH I SHOULD BE TRYING TO SEARCH AND READ....

 

THANKS

Why are you shouting?

Deafening!

Next time please do not post in all caps. It is considered shouting and is very poor netiquette. It is even mentioned in the forum rules.

You need to do a TM30 form within 24 hours of arriving at your residence. 

Download TM30 form: TM30 Form Notification of aliens staying at a residence

BUT THANK YOU JOE FOR FORM I WILL LOOK THROUGH IT... AGAIN KEYBOARD STUCK IN CAPS.

Every time you return after spending the night away from your 'home' the owner, or house-master, or possessor (that might be you) of the property is supposed to submit a new TM.30 report to say you have arrived.

 

If you stay in a hotel/guesthouse they, usually, submit a TM.30 to say you're staying, but they do not advise that you've left. So until a new TM.30 is submitted when you return home the immigration system has you still at the hotel/guesthouse.

IMO unless you leave the country or stay in a hotel/guesthouse immigration have no way of knowing you stayed away, and I would'nt bother with the TM.30.

When I stay in hotels in Thailand it is always together with my Thai wife. Since many years back we do all bookings in her name. I can´t recall any time I have been requested to show an identification. Hereby my “stay away” is not registered.
