Also, you say you register with the police every time you return from overseas. If you are on a residence permit, which I assume you are since you are working, you don't have to do that...only register once, then you're done.
First, if possible to do the legal thing, would prefer to do so. I admit it might be a personal preference, but so it is. Re: re-registering every time I'm back in the country -- when we first registered, the PSB specifically asked me to do this (despite having a residence permit). Perhaps, as
jiejie says, it's function of which district one lives in. However, I don't have to physically go there. I just have a colleague call up the PSB, say that "I'm back", and they say thanks for letting us know. I have no doubt that if I didn't do this, nothing would go amiss. But since it is entirely painless, I have no problem checking the box, at least for now.
