Do DTV Holders Need to Make 90-Day Reporting in Thailand?

I just looked at the Los Angeles Thai consulate website for visa information. Early in the website they have a notice to foreigners that they have to report to immigration every 90 days. This informational notice makes no reference to visa types. It applies to all foreigners.

Later under the LTR visa, in addition to to requirements for the various types of LTR visa, they also post the BOI graphic specifically mentioning that 90 day reporting has been extended to 1 year reporting for LTR visa holders.

No other visa type, including O, OA, and DTV has any mention of modification of the 90 day reporting requirement.

The website tells you that you have to do 90 day reports. That requirement applies to every visa type (including the DTV) except the LTR where the adjustment is specifically mentioned.

Unless you can show a consulate website that says otherwise or something printed in the Royal Gazette that says otherwise then you can safely assume that DTV holders have to do 90 day reports. The first report has to be done in person.

The good news is that if you fail to do your 90 day report and get caught then you are only going to pay a 2,000 baht fine. They are not going to take your visa away or deport you.

It seems that a large law firm is uncertain, but it’s reasonable to assume that the immigration office handling you has authority over your compliance in Thailand. Since immigration offices can have slightly different procedures, if they are requesting information, you should provide it as required.

Let’s be honest, other than our own experiences which there is zero, this is a question for immigration. I don’t see how people can be so blatant with their yes or no, it’s up to the individuals who have these visas to contact immigration and ask.

From the linked article.

So what's the point in replying? 😂

The only visa that doesn’t require 90 day reports is the LTR and it was specifically mentioned as a benefit of the LTR. If there is no explicit mention of a 90 day report exemption for the DTV then it is a good bet that you have to do 90 day reports like all the other visas.

With a DTV on every entry you can stay 180 days. I got it yesterday

I don’t know for sure but it is possible they would not require it.

i think sooner or later we could also send all these illegal refugees to Thailand

Both tm30 and 90d to be done

Would that change your mind ??

Good reason not to believe anything you see published by Thaiger.

Quite sure 90 day report will be required

Can you post a link to the article ?

There was nothing in the law that created the DTV that says it doesn't require 90 day reporting
