Do all family members need to be present at immigration for check-in after re-entry to Thailand?
Hey crew, my wife is on a Non-O and has a re-entry permit for the trip to Australia we have just arrived back from. Our children are followers on her visa. They need to check in tomorrow when immigration opens (I don’t because I’m here in tourist visa at the moment). My question is: can I go and check them in just by taking their passports, or do my wife and all 5 children need to show their faces there in order to check in? 🙏 THANKS.
Answer summary
The question is about the immigration check-in process for a family returning to Thailand with a Non-O visa and re-entry permit. The poster is unsure whether only their children's passports are needed for check-in or if the entire family (wife and five children) must be present. Answers from the community suggest that while some immigration officials may require the individuals to be present for re-entry, it is advisable to bring all passports and related documents to ensure compliance with address registration rules.

This address registration is for every foreigner, even for people calling themselves tourists. I see that you live in Chang Rai so take all the passports, yes also yours, a copy of the blue house book, copy ID of house owner (both signed by house owner) and report everybody as living in that property.

I have heard that they like to see you in person when re-entering, but I am not sure if that is official.

It can be done by one of the persons I mentioned in person at Immigration, by mail (old fashioned postal service) or by using the on-line program.

Nonsense, as the address registration can be done by the land owner, processor, house master, house owner or manager of hotel.

yup they doRobert *******
I guess that you ask about the address registration. But we don't know where and I will not guess where you are in Thailand.
