Do soft power DTV visa holders need to do the 90-day report in Thailand?

Hello group!

Just got my visa approved 2days ago. I applied via soft power at the general consulate in Munich/Germany (as I’m a German passport holder). The whole process just took 7 working days, no further documents requested, no questions asked. Happy days!

Thanks goes to the employees of the consulate and all the people in this group for their helpful hints and tips! It seems to be an easy application if you meet the criteria and do your homework. I followed this group for a few months before I sent my documents and checked the embassy website for the requirements.

Just one open question is left: At one website there was stated that there’s no 90day report needed for soft power DTV holders. Is there a difference between workation and soft power regarding the 90 day report? I have no problem with doing the report, but if it’s not necessary, I have one more day for my training course.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The author received their soft power DTV visa from the Thai consulate in Munich, Germany, with a quick approval process. They express gratitude to the community for tips throughout their application journey. However, they seek clarification on whether soft power DTV holders are required to complete the 90-day reporting, noting that some sources suggest it might not be necessary. The comments clarify that all DTV visa holders, regardless of category, must complete the 90-day report if staying in Thailand for 90 consecutive days.

@Katarzyna *******
Every foreigner staying 90 consecutive days has to report his/her address to immigration with TM47 form.

Thank You for your helpful report πŸ‘

PRINT OUT THE EMAIL THAT HAS YOUR DTV VISA.

That's what you should do... print it out.

You may have to show PROOF of your DTV Visa to airline staff on check-in for your flight ✈️ to Thailand...even to the connecting airline staff. Or to the land border crossing entry Thai Immigration Officer.

Upon arrival into Thailand, show the DTV visa to the Thai Immigration Officer and look at the STAMP placed in your passport to be sure you are STAMPED in for 180 days.

And you have to do a 90 day report whenever you are in Thailand 90 days.

For DTV holders there is no exception for 90 day reporting, so it has to be done when you stay at least 90 days without leaving the country.

You need to do the 90 Day report if you are in Thailand 90 consecutive days on the DTV. There is no distinction between categories.
