Went to get my extension for one year retirement visa, I was asked if I had reported to Immigration when I last entered Thailand, which has to be done within 24 hours on entry, is this a new rule? did somebody face this issue,kindly advise
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.

OPOK, I was never knowing about this, although I frequently travel in and out of Thailand and visit my local Immigration office for my family visa issues, they just casually asked me about this and I told them I never heard of this, I was asked to fill up a form and provide them
