DTV holders and 90 day reports.

It has been confirmed to me that DTV holders ARE required to do 90 day reports if they stay in the country that long.

Despite what you may have seen in a video on YouTube it is NOT the truth about 90 day reports not being required.

Just like most other long term visa holders if you stay in the country for a consecutive 90 days you report to immigration.

Your first 90 day report from entering Thailand will need to be done in person. As most DTV holders will leave or bounce they probably won’t do a second or more report, so won’t use the online system anyway.

TLDR : Answer Summary
Yes, holders of the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) are required to complete 90-day reports if they remain in Thailand for 90 consecutive days. This requirement is similar to that for other long-term visa holders. The first report must be done in person at an immigration office. There has been confusion stemming from some misleading information on social media, but official guidelines confirm the necessity of these reports.

All the new Thai visas such as DTV, Elite visas, etc were offered for one purpose only: Energize the housing market ! Just to go to Pattaya and see all the new residential luxury buildings near the beach with no renters! Same in Phuket, Chiang Mae and more so in BKK. Thailand economy is about to crash with all the money buried in the housing market and not moving. That’s why it is a buyers market. Need to insist on streamlining the immigration process such as eliminating the 90 days reporting!

TM30 must also be done. I asked the immigration official on the way in if both needed doing, she replied “yes, of course.”

If you’re not in this group and it’s the first time you come to Thailand, how are you supposed to know this? Do they tell you when you enter the country?

 For a number of visa types they don’t tell you when you enter Thailand that reporting is necessary. You are expected to know and do your research.

Its quite impossible to be enforced, last time the only reason they were making u pay was that it was needed to be cleared out /fine paid/ before they give u the extension stamp. Here u reset the visa every time u exit the country and stamp will be needed after 5 years when ur visa expired and u want the extension eventually, otherwise i dont see a way for them to make u pay the fine and since its only 2000 baht is much cheaper to pay it after 5 years then wasting ur time whenever it is

 I agree if you have no need for interaction with immigration whilst you are in the country then you probably won’t have an issue not reporting.

Except when you need interaction with them they’ll be able to see that you didn’t report and fine you accordingly.

There was never really any doubt. No-one is exempt from 90 day reporting. (Non permanent residents)

edit: appears LTR has 1 year instead of 90 day reporting

 interesting, I stand corrected.

Seems like there’s conflicting info on their website. I guess not surprising for Thailand lol.

“If you have lost TM.6 or TM.47’s receipt or you have passed the 90 days limit without making the 90-day reporting, you must get a police notice from any police station before the appointment and pay fine 2,000 Baht (fine applies only in case of failing to make the 90-day report) to the immigration on the appointment date”

 The YouTube video of the guy from the MFA spouting the rules of the DTV stirred up the pot. He claimed there would be no requirement for filing of 90 days and extensions would be 1,900 baht.

 I guess they’ve based it on the fact that if you were able to get 5x 30 day extensions off of a visa exempt entry (back then they were 30 days on entry) the cost of each extension would (almost) add up to the 10,000 baht fee.

I personally can’t see many applying when they can bounce out and back for another 180 days for much cheaper than that.

 can be wrong, because there's 2 different powers related to the DTV, one is foreign affairs and the other is immigration, so there's a conflict there. FA can say one thing, Immigration can say another. If Immigration says you need 90 days report, then that's what it is, no matter what Foreign Affairs can say about it.

 Depends on the office you use. Most will require a filled out TM47 and a copy of your passport, entry stamp and possibly your visa too. Some will require a filed TM30 and copy of that filing.

Your experience at your local office may vary.

 could you please tell me what the TM47 is? I am aware of the TM30, but recently heard TM47 from some one else as well...Is this replacing the TM30? Thanks, I.m currently still using a 60 day visa exempt, but taking notes on what is needed for a future Non 0, and one year extension.
