June 15, 200719 yr Immigration Meeting Confirms Need for Foreigners to Register Place of Residence. Pattaya City News On Friday afternoon a large group of hotel, guest house and condo owners and managers attended a meeting conducted by Colonel Itipon, the chief of Pattaya’s Immigration police. The colonel told attendees the Immigration Department intends to enforce the regulations regarding the registration of all foreigners who stay in the Pattaya-Jomtien area, whether they are here as tourists for a few days or weeks or are living in houses or condos. Colonel Itipon said all hotels, guest houses and landlords must notify Immigration within 24 hours of the arrival of a new resident or guest and people with 90-day visas must report to Immigration and give their place of residence as each three-monthly date falls due. Those interested in finding out more about the activities and intentions of the Immigration service here, you can log on to their website: www.pattaya-immigration.org. Pattaya City News Presumably if you have a guest stay with you you have to report him to the Police. One wonders about the rule of law in Thailand. It seems sometimes that the Police make up the law at their whim. Still I'm not going to argue.
June 15, 200719 yr I was under the impression that they did this anyway. The hotels I stayed at always said it was a requirement.
