I just arrived on DTV which was finally granted in the Nick of time.
Couple of questions for the group.
1) if I move hotels, or get a condo, does that mean I have to tell immigration via some form?
Someone said something about a TM30…
2) at this point I’m heading to the USA for a couple of weeks in December, departing 94 days after my initial arrival in Thailand.. does that mean I have to do a 90 day report before I leave?
3) what’s the official website for filing this 90 day report (if needed)? I don’t want to end up at some scam page.
DTV documentation was really just a printout with no guidelines about on-going requirements so it’s a bit hard to find info.
Thousand thanks.
TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion centers around whether a holder of the DTV visa must report their address changes (TM30) and participate in the 90-day reporting requirement in Thailand. A TM30 form is generally required when changing residences, typically managed by the hotel or landlord. The 90-day report, necessitated every 90 days of stay, should initially be filed in person at a local immigration office, though there is some debate about whether DTV holders are exempt from this requirement. Conflicts arise regarding the official stance, with some claiming DTV holders do not need to report, while others argue that all foreign nationals must comply with the 90-day rule. The thread highlights confusion among new DTV visa holders and emphasizes the importance of verifying immigration requirements directly with immigration authorities.
