TLDR : Answer Summary
When arriving in Thailand on any visa, including the DTV visa, it is the responsibility of the landlord or accommodation owner to register your stay within 24 hours through the TM30 online portal. This registration is mandatory and must be done regardless of the visa type. Failure to comply is the landlord's responsibility, not the foreigner's. However, expats do need to provide accommodation details when applying for the visa.

Yes, but not you. The landlord/accommodation owner.

The DTV isn’t special and TM.30 filings as well as 90 day reports are still required.

Irrespective of any visa, a Thai landlord or hotel owner must report a foreigner on online portal within 24 hours (TM 30). If they miss, they are at fault. The issue you face only when you approach immigration department for some task like residence certificate, 90 days report etc. Most people then book hotel for a night or two so they have a fresh TM30.

If you mean the TM30 then yes. The landlord, hotel or accommodation owner must register you within 24 hours of arrival.
