Immigration Act Section 37

Section 38 and TN30 has been widely explained, but what about section 37?

Section 37 is about duties of the foreigner, not the landlord.

Point 4:

If the foreigner travel to another province and stay longer than 24h, must notify to the local police within 48h from the time of arrival.

What about this?

TLDR : Answer Summary
Section 37 of the Immigration Act outlines the responsibilities of foreigners in Thailand, particularly regarding notifying local police when traveling to another province for more than 24 hours. The discussion clarifies that this requirement is separate from the TM30 notification system and raises questions about enforcement and potential consequences for failure to comply.

This is about to notify in person to the police (or immigration) office of the province where you traveled, if you stay there more than 24h

If it's implemented this means : if you live in Bangkok and you do a trip to Chiang Mai (for more than 24h) you have to notify to Chaing mai police( art.37) and the Hotel too ha to notify (art38, TM30) then when you go back home your landlord has to notify.

I would like to point out that this not about to notify when you come back to your house (article 38, tm30) which has been widely spoken.

I don’t think we did this when we went to Chiang Mai for two days

I know the hotel wanted to see the resident information on my passport

But we didn’t go immigration when returned to Chiang Rai

Tricky to know which side of the law I’m on

My wife isn’t my landlord and that’s where I stay

This time we haven’t travelled outside of Chiang Rai

Next year when I settle here we will be going to the sea and will be folllowing correct procedure
