Next time I am at the consulate in Australia I will ask them their opinion. It surprised me that I was required to register but neither they, nor immigration on entry, advised me as such. How would I know to do it?
It was my second landlord that told me I had to register, I had been here for months living in a different rental property and the first landlord didn't mention a thing. Probably did it himself at no cost.
We have always reported our presence to the village kapala, and provided copies of passport and marriage certificate. But I am told that applies to anyone, not just foreigners.
Thanks everyone for your input anyway!
