ORIGINAL POSTER
What happens if you don't do the 90 days reports ?

What is the consequences ?

Will be fined at the airport ?

Because seems it's complicated in some provinces- need TM30, etc etc etc and some hotel don't register properly.

TLDR : Answer Summary
Failing to complete the 90-day reporting in Thailand can lead to various fines and complications. If you miss the deadline, you may be fined 2,000 THB at the immigration office or 5,000 THB if caught by the police. It's important to report within the 90-day period, which can be done online within 15 days before or 7 days after the due date; otherwise, you must report in person. Frequent travelers may reset their 90-day count each time they leave and re-enter Thailand. The process is generally straightforward, but some expats find the rules, especially regarding TM30 forms, confusing.

 I think it is 2 weeks before the 90 days and a week after without penalty. If you do after the date cannot do online and must go in person. I had to do that earlier this year when I miscalculated dates.

Make it easy for your self and the hotel / landlord, everytime you check-in, ask them for a copy of the TM30 report.

Then you have it, if you need it, and no extra work for the hotel / landlord.

 really? I read online that I can use a TM30 from the condo I’ll be staying at earlier in my trip - as no one cares where it’s from as long as you’re in the system within the last 90 days (might consult a travel agent to check)

 Tm30 is done by the hotel/landlord. TM47 you have to do it, I believe it's the 90 day report. 1st one has to be done in person at an immigration office, the following can be done online.

 Tm30 is done by the hotel/landlord, not us.

We have to do the 90 day report which is the TM47.

I didn't know this aswell, it wasn't clear with the DTV application process, there was no advice about other things. It's not until folks here in the group said it's normal to report, SO I checked with immigration and it's correct.

With DTV we must do TM47 if we stay 90 days or more, and our landlord or the hotel folks submit and create the TM30 for us (no always but ask them and they should be able to, it's their responsibility).

I got my TM30 from my landlord (I arranged a 1 year rent contract) once I got here with my DTV last month.

 The information you are posting is correct. Landlord must do the TM30 for you ASAP you arrive in theor property. However, some will not so you may have to find a way to do it yourself. You need the TM30 to do 90 day, get and extension, get a Residence Certificate. First time 90 Day in person then online.

 It is meant to be but in practice it is not strictly applied. I helped people who could not do the 90 day reports as no TM30 (Thus it was obvious it was not done in 24 hours). They had the TM30 completed and then did the 90 Day without penalty. With certain Immigration Offices ie BOI One-Stop-Shop the TM30 was never required.

 Yep... and if they don't give us somethin I also think about changing... to get my money out of the bank. But there are some things still unclear... how does it work with extension (how much, any paperwork needed to prove the class), what about renew drivers license (2y or 5y), can open a bank account or not... in about three month we will know more.

Yeah... DTV is really not bad... I saw one guy in the early days who got it based on one (1) appointment with his dentist.

 I don't think the LTR folks are jealous. They have a much better visa. While still not a pathway to permanent residency or anything, they can spend 5 years in country before they have to prove their qualifications again. They only do a once yearly check-in.

 LTR is pretty weird in my opinion.

For the remote worker category, you need a pretty decent income, but it's not that high.

The issue is that you need to be employed by a publicly listed company, or a company that has at least USD50 million revenue per year. That shuts out pretty much all small-medium business owners, or employees thereof.

You can do it online. You only have to do the first one after entering the country (i.e. 90 days after entering the country) in person at the immigration office in the province you live. The online registration is easy.

 it's simply the length of time you spend in Thailand without leaving the country. If you stay here for 90 days, you have to report. It doesn't matter whether you have an apartment or not. If you leave and come back, the 90 day limit starts from 0 again. Example: you arrive on 1 January. You leave again on 25 January and return on 1 February. You stay 90 days: report on 1 May (90 days from 1 February, i.e from you most recent passport arrival stamp). Always 90 days after your last arrival. You can report up to 15 days before and 7 days after the end of the 90-day period - in the example I gave above: 16 April to 8 May). Is that clear?

 I have a 1 year rental, like you, it's my base. If we don't stay 90 days in one go then we don't have to, but if we do then we must. But it's easy, I already registered online, and set a reminder on my diary to go to the immigration office. Then after, if I stay 90 days or more I can just complete it online

If you miss the due date you'll be fined 2,000 Baht. If you get arrested and your 90 day report is overdue it's 5,000 Baht. At the airport they don't care about that, they care about overstay... different story...

 As long as you don't use an immigration office for anything, then there's no reason to worry (in practice anyway). No one is "arrested" for not doing a 90 day report and no one is prevented from entering or leaving the country for not doing one.

It is not complicated at all. It takes minutes even if you go in person. Fill in one form TM47 and hand it in with your passport. As for TM30 you are going to need that for more than just 90 Day Reporting.
