Are 90-day check-ins required for DTV visa holders in Thailand?

@Tim **********

I mean the city.

@Brendon ***********

All immigrations would say the exact same thing though.

@Tim **********

Lol. No.

@Brendon ***********

prove me wrong.

@Tim **********

Sorry, have no time nor goal for it. I believe, same for you.

Just collecting facts now.

Thanks,

@Peter *********

@Tim **********

becuase it would be helpful to advise those who are applying, Visa's are linked to immigration no? Some of us have never been to Thailand and may not be fully aware of the requirements.

@Ibrahim *****

I understand but you mentioned it so you knew about it right? In any case it’s required. You’re hearing it here :). No doubt about it. All foreigners in Thailand must do 90 day reporting. You won’t see it under visa requirements. Would it be helpful? Maybe but it’s known law here. They are separate entities and it’s under the immigration act. Embassies issue the visa. Immigration enforces it.

@Ibrahim *****

also someone called them embassy to confirm. Which he didn’t need to call because if you stay in Thailand more than 90 days you have to report. Your landlord should register your tm30 to help you

@Tim **********

I reached out to immigration, and they confirmed a TM.47 is required. Now it's clear 👍

@Ibrahim *****

yes and make sure you get your landlord to do the TM30 form and give you a picture of it

@Tim **********

Do you have any proof ?

I'm just wondering how many people here argue with "Yes/No" w/o any sustain.

Yes, i'm informed about IMMIGRATION ACT, B.E. 2522 (1979) Section 37 (5), but there were no such kinds of visa since it was signed.

My opinion: only practices will show it in about next 2 months.

@Brendon ***********

well no except that the immigration act states it. That’s the law I would go by. It doesn’t say except for people on a dtv visa. Of course the dtv wasn’t around then but it’s not about a visa. It’s about foreigners required to report if you stay in the kingdom more than 90 days.

@Tim **********

It's off-topic here but just a little trait. What could you say about TM.47 exception for ED visa? It's prolongated every 3 months but you stay in the country more than 90 days and don't have to fill it out.

Brendon Grimshaw in May I get paper in my passport with request to do 90 day report when get my first extension of ED visa... So you are wrong.

@Brendon ***********

you do have to do 90 day reporting for Ed visa.

@Tim **********

I don't say your logic is wrong. But anything can be changed. This visa breaks a lot of practices stayed in place fore decades. Let's just see.

@Jason ********

do some research and learn first before making incorrect and misleading statements. The TM47 (aka 90 day reporting) is required under immigration law for all foreigners.

@Paul *******

exactly

@Andy *********

That is exactly what I would do, chase them for not paying their taxes. Roads, Sky Trains, Hospitals, Schools are not paid by "magical beings" but by the taxes people pay on their income. If you want to live in Thailand and ride nearly cost free buses and nearly cost free Sky Trains, but do not like to share the money to the community, you live in: Up to You - as the Thai say.

But the Indians say: Karma is a bitch.

@Tim **********

The DTV isn't just for digital nomads

@Roberto ********

no one said it was. There are three categories. Your comment has nothing to do with the topic being replied about.

@Roberto ********

It still doesnt change my comment about taxes. We are small fish. Digital nomads, people doing muay Thai classes, whatever...its all the same.

@Tim **********

That I agree with. The same with retirees living in Thailand, and tourists who are here for just over 180 days in the year. The change in the tax laws is targeting the millionaire Thais (and by that I mean dollar millionaires) who have avoided paying tax on large sums by delaying transfer into the country. If people have already paid tax overseas and bring that money into Thailand, the Thai Tax Authorities are not going to spend thousands of baht trying to recover hundreds

@Tim **********

Thailand are looking for any money they can get and yes while it's actually aimed at mega Rich Thai people it's going to get everyone in the net.

But if you're paying the taxes you are supposed to in your own jurisdiction, then you will generally have nothing to worry about.

Many double tax agreements are in place for countries around the world. Even say you will still have to get a Tax ID.

@Tim **********

opinions are like a**holes 😮 everybody has one 😛

It might indeed be chump change as far as the money people on the DTV bring IN to the country to live here

BUT

they're handing this visa out to every Tom, Dick and Somchai foreigner almost for the asking (by that I mean the bar is set so low if you can't get a DTV you need to go back to where you came from) 😉

remember one baht from a million people is still a million baht 😉

I just found it coincidental that shortly after the spend 180 days in thailand during the year because a "resident for tax purposes" was announced they came out with a magical visa where people get stamped in for, you got it, 180 days 🙂

@Roberto ******

The 90 day reporting is not onerus. The first time has to be done in person then subsequently can be done online. I did my 90 day in person the other week and it took about 10 minutes. Nothing for anyone to worry about.

@Roberto ******

most of the misinformation comes from the groups. That and TikTok

@Stefano *******

If you are a Thai Tax resident? I will give a link to the standard tax calculator. It is only money you bring into Thailand and even then this is newly implemented for 2024. There is also any Tax Agreement with your country or where you have earned the money It is a wait-and-see situation.

@Angelo **********

Thanks. Spotted my typo. Will change it

@Greg *******

Happens to the best to us :D

@Aung ***********

DTV must do 90-day report

@Roberto ********

no

@Thomas ******

Yes

@Roberto ********

How do you know?

@Brendon ***********

It's already been reported on PR Thai website

@Roberto ********

Can't find, have a link?

@Brendon ***********

No, you'll have to scroll through the lot!

@Roberto ********

I think it will cost 1900 THB right?

@Aung ***********

90 day report costs nothing

@Roberto ********

thx, I'm still confused about visa fees for every 180 days, some are say 1900 THB and some are THB.

@Aung ***********

DTV is 10,000 baht for five years, extensions are 1900 baht
