Hi all, wondering if anyone is having a similar experience with imigration? Both my wife & I have long term retirement visas and have had for over 3 years. We have left & returned to Thailand a number of times. During that time we have successfully done our 90 day reporting online. Our visas were renewed in April 2024 and at the same time imigration renewed our 90 day reporting. We have just been rejected for online renewal and referred to the imigration office here in Phuket. They are telling us that because we were out of the country in January we need to resubmit our address details even though we have been living in the same property since we received our original visa and they issued the last 90 day clearance in April after we returned to Thailand from the trip which they are telling us has triggered the need to reconfirm our address. We are being told that we will need to resubmit confirmation of address every time we return from overseas even if we are returning to the same, continuously rented, property.

Has anyone else had a similar experience?

Thanks in advance for any information.

Follow up on my earlier post regarding applying for a driver's license. When I attended Min Buri DLT to make the appointment to convert my Australian license to a Thai license, I was advised by the staff that using the yellow house book and pink ID card would result in a driver's license that could only be used in Bangkok.

Australian embassy doesn't issue confirmation of address, and I don't qualify for the confirmation of address from Chaeng Wathana as I'm not in Thailand long enough to submit a 90 day report.

I used the yellow house book and pink ID card as evidence of address, was issued with a driving license, and there was no further mention of restriction to any particular province ... I can only assume that the original staff member gave me incorrect information.

Hi. About to apply for new UK passport and trying to find foolproof document for confirmation of address. Does anyone have experience. Cheers.
