Do I need to register with immigration upon returning to Krabi with an O-A visa?

The inconsistancy with the Krabi office is how they treated two of my friends.

1. friend with new O-A that were happy she came in to enter her new status. They expected her to report within 24 hours on her newly issued O-A visa.

2. My friend C., he had just arrived back from America (gone a month). He had left on a Non O Extension (Ret.) with a Reentry Permit. He showed his passport and TM.6 and they politely waved him off.

He later went to Singapore and returned (on a Reentry Permit)- did not report to Imm. Then a few weeks after that went in for a 90 day report - the officers again said nothing about it.

Just be careful. You could end up paying when you go for your 90 day report and they see no 24 hour report in their system. That is the way the Korat immigration office deals with it.

Relative to a new O-A visa the Krabi office does want the Farang to report the First time entry with it.

Not hard core about the TM.30 when getting an Extension, etc. Never ask - just lease or house / condo docs. The Krabi office is not asking about the TM.30 relative to travel domestic or international. This office does want Farangs to report after international travel (but are inconsistent

I don't know whether the immigration office in Krabi is hard core about foreigners doing the TM.30 (alien in residence ;)) form or not.

@J**

, you're down that way aren't you? Do you know if Krabi Immigrations requires people to file a TM.30?
