TLDR : Answer Summary
A user inquired about being asked to report to Immigration within 24 hours of entering Thailand while seeking an extension for a retirement visa, questioning if this was a new rule. Comments confirmed that this has always been a requirement but is now being strictly enforced, citing the 1979 Immigration Act as the basis of the rule. Ongoing discussions highlight the increased attention to this regulation, particularly for both expats frequently entering or moving within Thailand.
