Now that I have the DTV do I need to do anything? Besides just leave every 6 months.
Answer summary
After obtaining a DTV visa in Thailand, it is essential to complete certain requirements to maintain your visa status. Primary actions include regularly submitting a 90-day report to immigration, ensuring the TM30 form is filed (usually by your landlord), and registering with local authorities upon arrival. Additionally, it's advisable to be aware of the implications of becoming a tax resident, which typically necessitates spending 180 days in Thailand within a calendar year. Finally, if you're in Thailand when your visa is issued, make sure to leave and re-enter to ensure the DTV is applied correctly.

If you’re currently in Thailand when the visa was issued you’ll have to leave and re-enter under the DTV as it isn’t automatically applied and you may end up overstaying if you just leave in 6 months.

I think the most important thing is to enter Thailand within three months maximum from the moment you receive the visa

Don't miss getting registered with the local authority within 24 hours of arrival every time you enter Thailand, usually your hotel will do that on your behalf.

- another expat got legal advice from 2 different Thai accountants on tax situation. Was told not to bother trying to become a tax resident with DTV. You need a Thai bank account, which you’re not supposed to have with a DTV visa. They also have no way of knowing what you’re earning unless you have a Thai bank account.

90 days report each 90 consecutive days in Thailand. TM30, done by the owner of your place but usually required for your 90 days report.

Enjoy.

That's the most important thing.

(And do 90 day reporting at immigration, if/when you stay that long.)
