DTV + Mandatory 90-Day Reporting
As with nearly all Thai Visas and Extensions of Stay in Thailand (with only one visa type as an exception), there is a requirement for those who have made entry into Thailand and stayed continuously within Thailand for 90 days or more to do 90-Day Reporting with Thai Immigration.
Inexplicably, why are there rumors that 90-Day Reporting is not necessary for DTV is unknown, but for the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV), 90-Day Reporting is specifically required as follows:
As per Thai Immigration Order #135/2567 (2024), dated 15 July 2024 implementing the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV),
> Section 5 requires 90-Day Reporting for those who made entry into Thailand using a DTV.
Also, for reference are the Cover Sheet of related implementing Immigration Orders dated 15 July 2024 and both the signed copy and Royal Gazette published copy of the Interior Ministry Ministerial Regulation outlining the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV)

TLDR : Answer Summary
The 90-Day Reporting is a mandatory requirement for expats holding a Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) who have been in Thailand for 90 days without leaving the country. This regulation is outlined in Thai Immigration Order #135/2567 (2024), effective from July 15, 2024. Despite rumors suggesting that 90-Day Reporting is not required for DTV holders, the law explicitly mandates it. The first report must typically be made in-person at a Thai Immigration office, while subsequent reports may have the option to be conducted online. Comments highlight the importance of ensuring that TM30 forms are available for reporting and raise questions about the time frame for submitting these reports.
