DTV’s and 90 day reporting. 

Contrary to what some YouTube videos have claimed you DO need to do a 90 day report on a DTV - if you stay in Thailand for 90 consecutive days - that’s 89 days after you entered the Kingdom. 

We are getting in to the time window when some of the earliest recipients may be getting close to their first 90 days within Thailand. 

Remember you can file a report two weeks prior and up to one week after due date. For this first report it will have to be in person at your local immigration office. 

In theory you shouldn’t need to do a second report because you are only allowed 180 days in the country per entry but if you file early then your next report will be 90 days after that filing date. 

For the second report, should you need one, then count your days carefully. If a second is due, but you leave a day or so after anyway then some believe they’ll get away with not reporting. You will when you leave, but come your next need to file a report you may well be slapped with a 2,000 baht fine for failing to report prior.

TLDR : Answer Summary

DTV visa holders in Thailand are required to submit a 90-day report if they stay for 90 consecutive days in the country. This report can be filed in-person at a local immigration office, or by mail if sent at least 14 days before the due date. There's some confusion about whether a second report is necessary, as staying for 180 days may lead to a fine for failing to report if required. Comments highlight varied experiences with the reporting process, citing challenges with online submissions and differing understandings of the requirements.

I went to immigration the other day to get a certificate of residency to open a bank and purchase a vehicle. When we were finished the immigration officer said he would see me in 180 days, which left me confused to the requirement of 90 days as well.

Perhaps a “lost in translation” moment. Or the officer just didn’t know the rules. The DTV is completely new to most officers. Currently I’d speculate that none of them will know what the requirements will be to get a 180 day extension, so many may just not be aware of the need for 90 day reports.

I don’t understand, why this is a discussion topic ? You have to do a 90 day report, when staying in Thailand for that long and not leaving the country !!! This belongs to ALL VISA types except some Elite Visa Types, where a concierge service is doing it on your behalf.

Why do DTV holders think, they don’t have to do it ?
