Do I need to do a 90-day check-in with a DTV visa in Thailand?
Hi im currently in thailand just got here last week on my dtv visa for the 180 days stamp whoo. However I keep saying people talk about a 90 day check in. My dtv visa comes from being a digital nomad am i required to do a 90 days check in? As I'm unaware of this
Answer summary
If you hold a DTV visa in Thailand, you are required to do a 90-day check-in. This check-in must be done in person at your local immigration office and requires your passport and a TM30 form. The process is relatively quick and typically takes just a few minutes. Failing to report your presence can lead to complications, as this is a standard requirement for anyone staying in Thailand for 90 consecutive days.

It's Thailand's way of keeping tabs on you. They think you are a dodgy foreigner, so you have to report back on day release every 90 days. Dumbest system ever.

You could of course just leave the country for a nice short break before the 90 days🤷🏿♀️, come back the clock resets to 180 days
John *********
Well up to the individual, maybe a short weekend break is refreshing🤷🏿♀️

@Andy ***********
you should leave and reenter at the six month mark because you will need to prove everything all over again for another six months extensionAndy ************

That's nothing to do with a 90-day report. That's 180 days, not 90 😂😂
Anna *********
Yes everyone (Ltr exception) has to if they are in Thailand for continuous 90 days
Stephen ********
Yes, you have to do a 90 day report in person.
You'll need passport and a TM30.
Only takes a few minutes.

OPi understand that if you stay with a hotel they do this check in for you for the tm30. Could you simply go to a hotel who would complete the tm30 as they're responsible or would it have to be a in person visit
Luit *****************
@Anthony *****
Hotel or owner of the property you stay should do TM30 within 24 hours from your arrival, you or any person who you give your passport and other documents should do TM47 at the immigration office the district where your most recent TM30 was.
Marianne ********
@Anthony *****
The TM30 and 90 day report are not the same thing. But you do need a TM30 to do your 90 day report.
The TM30 is your landlords responsibility.
The 90 day report is your responsibility and you will need to go to Immigration in person to do it.

No, anywhere you stay registers you staying at that premises with a tm30. But if you stay 90 days, you have to report to immigration in person (first time), with a passport and tm30.Steve ***************
Yes, but simple to do and it must be in person at your local immigration office the first time.
Good luck opening a bank account, I finally used an agent to get an account with Bangkok Bank, the cost of which was offset by the bank not insisting on having their insurance. Now I no longer pay ATM withdrawals fees, and can easily pay my condo rental and utilities. And, an added bonus is keeling all financial transactions in one place should we ever have to pay tax in the Land of Smiles. I split my time

bank account was easy.Showed them my passport, provided them with a copy of my DTV, gave them my address and of course my Thai number which they do a validation check to confirm my identity.
30mins later walked out with my cash card and online banking all setup

@John ********
Which bank and which branch?Greg ********
@John ********
I am fine with bank accounts - can open when I want. I used to work for a large global company here. One branch had over 5000 salaries into it every month including C-Suite who were probably close to 1 million THB a month salary and quite a few directors on 300k +. They were very nice to us and gave us CC's etc :-)John *********
@Greg *******
dunno but savings accounts with a passbook have always been pretty easy but like everything in Thailand it’s hit and miss, one day no, next try branch down the road, all ok. Same with immigration you never quite know if you will sail straight through or get asked silly questions. Main thing, don’t lose your cool, always be polite at all times.
Remember there is no Western Logic, only Thai logic, which I can tell you takes years to understand 🙈
Greg ********
@John ********
Is there any difference between a savings and current account here? Even with a WP and high salary everyone only gets a "Savings" account. I am talking about Directors and C-Suite of global companies based here.John *********
@Greg *******
try SCB in Bkk or K Bank, maybe a few branches say no, some might say yes, it’s Thailand, you never know for sure. Just look respectable and be polite and make a large deposit not just a token couple of k in bahts No guarantees of success but don’t apply for a current account, just a savings account. Try and get to know the branch manager, they generally look up to foreigners in a respectful way. Just don’t turn up in a singlet, short and flip flops 🤦🏻♀️

Steve Kelly Photos what was the agent cost to open the account?
Steve ***************
@Andi **********
3000 baht.Andi ***********
Steve Kelly Photos Really cheap for Bangkok..lucky you..many charging around 15k
Steve ***************
@Ben *******
just checked, they are currently unable to offer assistance with regards to opening a bank account in Thailand due to a recent change in the law. They are however hopeful that this will only be a short-term issue.
Ben ********
@Steve **************
can you share the agent details?Greg ********
@Steve **************
Very cheap indeed.Andi ***********
If you stay 90 days consecutively you are required to do the 90 day check in.A requirement not just for DTVers
