What are the entry procedures and requirements for the DTV Visa in Thailand?

Questions about the DTV Visa and Entry Procedures in Thailand

Hi everyone,

I’ve received the DTV Visa (5 years, Workation for remote work), and I have a few questions about the entry process and formalities. I’d appreciate it if you could help me out:

1. TM30 Registration:

Do I need to register within 24 hours of entering Thailand?

Can I complete the TM30 form online, or do I have to visit the immigration office in person?

Is the landlord typically responsible for the TM30 registration, or do I need to handle it myself?

Do I need to complete the TM30 registration again after every re-entry, for example, if I leave for a short trip to a neighboring country and return?

2. 180-Day Rule:

I understand I need to leave Thailand every 180 days. Is a short trip to a neighboring country (e.g., Malaysia) enough to get a new entry stamp?

Do I need to present bank documents or other supporting documents upon re-entry, or is my visa and passport sufficient?

Would a single day outside Thailand be enough, or is it better to plan a weekend trip?

3. Additional Requirements for Long Stays:

Besides the TM30 registration, are there any other formalities I need to complete for a longer stay?

4. DTV Visa Types:

Are there different types of DTV visas (e.g., shorter versions or different conditions)? Some people seem to have only a regular tourist visa—how can I tell what applies to me?

I’m a bit confused by the mixed information I’ve found so far and would really appreciate any advice or tips from those with experience. What should I pay attention to, and how can I ensure everything runs smoothly?

Thanks so much for your help! 😊
