Hi.

I'm on a multiple entry retirement visa. 

Soon I'm leaving Thailand for 2 weeks .

Upon returning  do I need to report back to immigration? To say I've returned? Within a day or 2?

Few weeks back I did my 90 day report.

When I return the 90 day will restart from arrival date.

Some have claimed that Filipinos are not accepted in Phnom Penh, which is not true if you submit all the important documents, then you will also be accepted. See picture. It is true that in Phnom Penh a lot of applicants have been rejected recently. But we submitted all the papers and were approved.

Does the evisa shows the date of issue? I saw online that some people couldn't get their visa on time and only got approved while in Thailand and then just exited the country and re-entered to activate their visa. Won't the immigration officer check the date of issue? Anyone went through this process ?

Does anybody know why my 90 day online could be rejected ? I did it many times in person. This is the first time after I reentered with an reentry visum about 90bdays ago. It is 12 days BEFORE the actual due date.

I am moving out of the country by the end of January of 2025.  Is it ok to use a U.S. address for my U.S. banking accounts and social security or best to report my new address in my new country?  I am worried about future consequences.

If Thailand implements the foreign income tax for expats who live in Thailand for longer than 1/2 the year, how many of you on DTV would stay longer than the 180days?
