Hey,

I just found in my mailbox (old school hardcopy) a form to fill out named "Personal Information Form" from my Building Management Office saying, based on new regulations of the immigration department following the "Domestic Safety and Security Control"

Not only, that I have to fill out the form, the request a copy of my passport and the arrival card.

Anybody here know how serious this is and whether this need to be updated whenever I leave and return to Thailand from business trip?

Yeah, I used the WiFi at a coffee shop in BKK the other day but first had to let them make a copy of my passport and then I had to sign a form.

Sign o' the times I guess.

Huh, I was "talking" about my condo and this form related to it, like a registration form, but if the coffee shop WIFI story is true, it gets even worse.

STASI meets Big Brother?

No, its standard reporting and has been a requirement for a very long time but is now being enforced. Its similar to the reporting hotels must do when you check in.

OK, but what is the process here? Traveling abroad almost every 2 weeks means I have to renew this paper / arrival card copy?

How? Where? When?

The owner is supposed to do it -- maybe just give him a copy of your arrival card each time.
