I just checked with Kalasin immigration office

The only times I need to report that I am back at my address is if I leave the country I report that I have come back . Has anybody else checked if they still have to report everytime they leave home ?

TLDR : Answer Summary
A user inquired about the necessity of reporting to immigration upon returning to their residence in Thailand. Responses indicated that the TM28 requirement, which mandated reporting when away from home for 24 hours, has been scrapped. However, experiences may vary by location, and it is crucial for individuals to check with their local immigration office. Additionally, a new TM30 form must be filed if returning to Thailand after traveling outside the country.

This has been discussed already many times...

As there are 70+ Thai Immigration Offices...the only correct answer is :

ALWAYS ...

Check with your LOCAL IMMIGRATION OFFICE.

If you have traveled OUTSIDE Thailand and return.

FILE A NEW TM30.
