90 day reports with a DTV. I want to share my experience so that others may learn from it.
1. You must do your 90 day report in the province that your TM-30 address is located.
2. You have to do your report in person if you hold a DTV. There are no options for online filing, unless you have done the 6 month extension in country without leaving to reset the visa. I will explain this more below.
I recently needed to do my 2nd 90 day report while holding a DTV in Thailand. I read that after the first report in person you may submit the following reports online. This is true, however the count of reports submitted resets after every new arrival in the country. As a DTV holder, I leave every 6 months for a period of time so I will never have a 2nd 90 day report on one visit into Thailand. The 7 day grace period covers any "tight" timelines on having to do a 2nd 90 day report in 6 months.
I was traveling visiting some friends during my last reporting window and submitted online, only to be rejected. I visited the local immigration facility and it was explained to me that I needed to do the report where I live only. They were very nice and calmed my fears of problems with immigration by helping me understand the 7 day grace period after the 90 days in country that you have to file. I was home before that time was expired so everything worked out fine.
I just wanted to help anyone else that might not have gone through the 90 report process yet. Because of the slight pain of the process in my busy area now that it is high season, I might consider one of those do it for you visa services to file my next 90 day report, if they don't charge too much.

The graceperiod does not prevent the need to do second report in case your first was before day 90. It only gives you the possibility to report sooner or later, but you have to report.
The 7 day grace period does not exempt you from having to file if you leave the country within those 7 days. It's only a grace period to give extra time to submit the report. If you do your first 90 day report early and stay for the full 180 days then you will need to submit a second 90 day report.
