DTV and 90 day reporting. So I got the DTV at the weekend. Planning on Dec - Apr in LOS, but wondering if I also have to go to an immigration office to do a 90 day stay or is that only for those on retirement visas? Unfortunately no mention of 90 day requirement on the DTV. I'll be staying with the GF in Surin, after 2 nights in BKK, so wondering also about TM30 form also.

TLDR : Answer Summary
Yes, as a holder of a DTV (Digital Nomad Visa), you will need to file a 90-day report if you stay for 90 consecutive days in Thailand. To complete this, you should file your report at the local immigration office where your TM30 form has been submitted. It's important for the house owner in Surin to file the TM30 when you arrive, and you can submit the 90-day report between 15 days prior to the due date and up to 7 days after it is due, which is typically 89 days after your arrival.

Just wait and see, in the next month, it vil be shown by evidence, if you need 90 day reporting.

If you spend 90 consecutive days in Thailand you will need to report to immigration, the only visa at this stage that doesn’t require it is the LTR. But if in doubt go to your local immigration office and ask them.

As a DTV holder when are you informed about TM30 & 90 day reports?

Is this something that happens when you get your passport stamped or does the immigration office just hope you are a member of this group 😉

 you are not told anything by immigration, it is up to you to know the laws and regulations of your current visa situation.

 every country you go to expects you to know their laws especially one's around immigration. No country will spoon feed you what you should have already researched yourself

 it's your responsibility to know when you have to do it. Just count 90 days from your entry stamp.

 there was nothing wrong with my comment. It was not a negative comment. The government expects both foreigners and Thais to know the laws and adhere to them. Anyone who expects to be told what the laws are should temper their expectations accordingly.

 it’s interesting that such an easy thing to communicate isn’t communicated. People say “don’t believe what you read on social media” !!

If I hadn’t seen this on social media I would have had no idea about this reporting. That includes 3 long conversations with the Thai Embassy in Australia, multiple emails etc asking them about every aspect of the DTV.

Interesting 🤔

 90 day reporting has nothing to do with the DTV, so why would that consulate tell you? It is required of all non-residents (a few exceptions exist).

 the two things you mention, tm47 & tm30 have nothing to do with visa's, they are stand alone requirements(laws), there are probably another 1000 laws you wouldn't be told about when you apply for a visa or enter the country.

You need to file a 90 day report if you stay for 90 consecutive days in Thailand on a DTV. You file your report at the office where your TM30 is filed at.

Once you go to Surin have the house owner file a TM30 and then you file a 90 day report there. You can file 15 days prior to it due or up to 7 days after. It’s due 89 days after you enter the country. Google will help you calculate that date.

 So I'll be staying for the first 2 nights in a hotel in Bangkok. They will complete a TM30. I should get a copy? To register with the immigration bureau I need to provide 3 items. Would they be Copy of DTV, Copy of DTV, Copy of GF Passport?

 you don’t need to get a copy of the TM30, done by the hotel. Their entry will be on the system. You should go to your local Immigration Office, within 24 hours of your arrival at your GF’s home to register a TM30 with them.

When I went through the same procedure, a couple of months ago, 2 paper receipts were stapled into my passport, one of which said that I should report again, in 90 days. It actually stated which date that was.

 Can you go to the local Police Station? GF is living about 50 kilometers outside Surin, and Prasat Police Station is a lot closer.

 no not anymore decades ago you were able to register at the local police station, but now unfortunately you have to make the trek to immigration or you can possibly do the TM30 as they have a online registration system now.
