    I sure I will be shouted down but whenever we have visitors come over they stay with us and I have never told immigration of there stay. They do however put our address on there arival cards. They sta

  • The correct answer is that you or the owner should report the visitors. You can make the report as the Possessor of the property. The requirement is to report within 24 hours of staying

  • It depends upon how a person reads the clause in the immigration act. Most immigration offices read it correctly and do not require another report unless you move.

Unless you will be doing something at an immigration office there is no need to worry about the report.

Certainly no problem when you enter the country. Just put her address on the the arrival card.

Will certainly do that and tkanks again.

There is no requirement to report yourself every time you enter the country.

It is the owners, house master or possessor of the residence where you are staying responsibility to report your presence and it is not always required if it has been reported previously.

In Hat Yai Immigration they say,,When you enter Thailand and come Home you Must report to Immigration within 24 hrs and they start you 90 Day Report again from the day you enter Thailand.

Today immigration office raided a villas complex in Pattaya in Tappraya Road:fines different people that doesn't report the foreigner.But,they told me that the fines were different:between 800 to 1500 bht.Depends on what:

1)IO moods?

2)Or the fine follow how long you don't report the foreigner?

That's what i had been told by NakhonSiThammarat Immigration.

Isn't that ridiculous ? One enters Thailand through Passport control which is Immigration, present passport together with the ArrivalCard, then you are supposed to go to your immigration office to report your arrival again. What is the Arrival Card good for then ?

The arrival card is for the foreigner to report where they are going to be staying. The owner, house-master or possessor of the property are then supposed to report (within 24 hours) that the foreigner is staying with them. In the past foreigners mostly stayed in hotels and guest houses and in many cases were being reported even though they didn't know it. It's only becoming more of an issue because more and more foreigners are staying in private properties.

 

My wife was pulled up at Udon Immigration a few months ago regarding the reporting. Even though I hadn't left the country the last report for me was from a hotel in Kanchanaburi that we had stayed in. The IO used this as an excuse to threaten my wife with a fine for not reporting me but let her off with a warning. She told us if it happens again, she will fine us.
