"People from the 23 highly controlled provinces are required to provide information on their accommodation, travel programme and duration of stay. In addition to register with the Mor Chana contact tracing application, they are required to register with the CM-Chana contact tracing application and to follow instructions sent through the app, and enter a 14-day home quarantine."
Well... the immigration still call us "tourists", even if we stay some years already on retirement visa. As mentioned... if you have this pink-id card they say resident. But in this case it's more important, how the japanese immigration define "resident of thailand". I just quoted from the article... nothing else...
"Today, 'citizen' tends to specify a person who legally belongs to a country, and 'resident' is used, generally, for a person who is legally living or working in a particular locality."
That's a good question... i guess you are a resident if you have at least this pink id-card, but i'm not sure what the japanese immigration think about that... I'm pretty sure the mean citizens or passport holders.
