Does anyone live in a different Province to their work permit/visa? My agency is closing their Pattaya office and offered to move my visa/work permit to BKK, where I would work half the week, the rest of the week live in Pattaya.

I'm happy to do this, but imagine the address reporting etc. would be a mess..

Answer summary

The user is considering relocating their visa and work permit from Pattaya to Bangkok due to their agency's office closure. They express concerns about the complexity of address reporting since they would be living partially in Pattaya and working in Bangkok. A commenter advises them to officially change their work permit and immigration address to reflect their part-time residency in Bangkok.

Change of address of work place in the work permit, change address at Immigration, after all you live half of the week in Bangkok. Go holiday in Pattaya in your free time and do all the reporting in Bangkok.

If you do not plan to visit the Immigration Office for any document you can spend your free days there. Officially you have to report within 24 hours that you are in Pattaya and on return in Bangkok you have to report you're back in Bangkok.
