Never did the 24-hour reporting and as you will understand I am not going to ask them whether I have to. I do the 90-day thing promptly. They are always very friendly and helpful and they emphasized the 7-day window around the due reporting date on every occassion.
By the way: I have been to Krabi Immigration several times and only once there was another foreigner in there. That might make a difference too.

[quote="lomuamart"]The 24 hour reporting is still in effect. A friend got fined 800THB when he went to ask for a residency letter. He only needed that for his driving license.

It seems, this residency letter is the point, where they can make extra money. But it should be possible to get it at the police station and they don't ask for 24 h reporting.

Yeah I've read of a few others, maybe 6, getting fined too. That's out of the estimated 3,000 expats making numerous different visits, maybe 10,000 plus 24 hour reports due. I'd hardly class that as enforcing.lomuamart wrote:The 24 hour reporting is still in effect. A friend got fined 800THB when he went to ask for a residency letter.
Your "if" is being enforced in this wonderful town, SJ.

Sure farangs get 'had' by officials here and there and squeezed for cash, happens to me as much as anyone I've spoken to due to work but I just put it down to part of the system here, I knew what I was letting myself in for and just get on with it.
