We just completed our first 90-day reporting under the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) at the Blue Tree Immigration Office in Phuket. The whole process took less than 5 minutes for both of us!
Received an acknowledgement receipt attached in the passport.
Here are a few useful things we discovered:
1️⃣ Documents Required:
They only checked our TM47 form, TM30 slip, and passport with the latest entry stamp. Super simple.
2️⃣ Child Verification Needed:
Our daughter was at school during the visit, but the officer insisted she must be present for verification. So we’ll need to make another trip with her during school hours.
3️⃣ Office Closure:
Heads up! The Blue Tree immigration office will be closed on Monday, July 28th (likely for a holiday).
4️⃣ DTV Extension:
If you’re planning to extend your Digital Nomad Visa, it can only be done at the main Immigration Office in Phuket Town – not at Blue Tree.
5️⃣ In-Person Visit Required:
Each applicant must be present in person for 90-day reporting or visa-related services – no exceptions.
We might do our next 90 days reporting in October or after 6 months. Depending on how our DTV extension goes.
TLDR : Answer Summary
The first 90-day reporting under the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) at the Blue Tree Immigration Office in Phuket took less than 5 minutes, requiring only the TM47 form, TM30 slip, and passport. A child must be present for verification, which might necessitate another visit if the child is not available. The office will be closed on July 28 for a holiday, and DTV extensions must be done at the main Immigration Office in Phuket Town. Each applicant must be present for the reporting.
