I have 2 accounts for exactly this reason and as Stuart Cumming stated I also keep about a thousand extra in to ensure it never goes below the immigration threshold.

@Tod ********

did I miss that, did he say new passport or re-entering the country? I thought he was talking about changing address, so first report after changing province.

Forgot to say it depends on your location if the IO will allow online reporting, but it seems a lot allow it.

@Michel ****

not true, I did my first one online, it depends on the IO.

It is really easy to do reports online. I have done all of mine online for the past 2 years, other than one time when I was at the IO, so it was convenient. I have moved provinces twice and had no problems reporting online.

The great thing is you can report online 14 days in advance, if for some reason it was not approved you can go to the IO a couple of weeks later and report. Nothing to lose, so give it a try.

@Mark **************

when was this?

@Julius ********

I have never had a problem or been asked for a bribe. I simply provide the evidence requested and pay the 1,900 Baht fee.

@Julius ********

I think that was the problem. Paying an agent can result in this situation.

@Steve ******

really? We will have to agree to disagree.

@Alma **************

I didn't say bad, I said poor. I love food from around the world, i am not choosy, but the Philippines (similar to the uk) has poor food. Having said that about the UK, the native dishes are not to my taste, but there are plenty of good restaurants everywhere.

I do wonder why you and your husband come to Thailand instead of the Philippines if that is your original home?
