Tiger Moth Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 I have heard that one does not have to go to Immigration to report address but don't know any details. Is the form available through the internet? Can the form be sent by e-mail as an attachment? If sent by mail, can it be sent to any Immigration office (Bangkok, Korat, Pattaya....) or must it be sent to the office closest to where one lives? How can I find the address for Immigration offices for mailing? I actually have a complication in that I have recently moved (to Khon Kaen). So, perhaps I could not use mail or e-mail, if these options are in fact normally available. Please advise me if you happen to know if moving requires an in person appearance. Thanks for any help.

didierhardy Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 It's possible by mail but not by e-mail. To see how to proceed and what documents you have to send, visit www.thaivisa.com/forum Didier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those making 90 day exits/return do not. The normal fine for failure to do so is 2,000 baht. It could be as much as 5,000 plus 200 baht per day. Normal window for reporting is plus or minus 7 days. They do not want you to report by mail if you live in Bangkok. -redwood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are many agents that will do that for you for a small fee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WorldFun Posted March 9, 2008 Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 So if not reporting how do one get 'caught'? If they're serious about it & I suppose a good number of people never do it or forget often, so if checked at immigration (when leaving the country) it could be quite a revenue earner I guess - any experiences/thoughts? Anyways not always bad to live *upcountry* BKK if it means one is allowed to mail instead of reporting in person or paying someone to report of ones behalf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pom Michael Posted March 9, 2008 Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 You only get caught when you need to renew your yearly visa. So, if you leave within the last 90 days you are normally ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mongatu Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 When you leave, they collect your departure card at the airport and that must operate to terminate any further reporting requirement (since you are officially and in fact, no longer within Thailand). Then when you return and they collect a new arrival card from you, that starts the 90 day reporting clock ticking again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mekong Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 As others have said 90 Day reporting is only required if In Kingdom for 90 continuous days, if you leave the 90 Day period restarts on your return. You don't have to go to immigration yourself, a third party can act on your behalf, in my case HR department tkae the passport to Sri Ratcha immy office. Failure to report is treated the same as overstay, THB500 / day up to THB20,000 they will catch you when you leave the Kingdom or apply for new visa. There have been cases where persistent non reporters have had their next visa application denied (this is on work permits not retirement visas) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
