Does anyone know about 90 day reporting, many have said you still need to do 90 day reporting, but I have not seen anything official at all from all the official DTV information I have read about 90 day reporting, I know a lot of people are "guessing" on this forum, but does anyone really know what the rules are on 90 day reporting? Is it possible to open a Thai bank account with a DTV Visa?

TLDR : Answer Summary
The community discusses the 90-day reporting requirement for foreigners in Thailand, highlighting that all non-residents, including those on a DTV Visa, must report every 90 days. However, some visa categories, such as the LTR and other BOI visas, have different reporting stipulations, often requiring annual reporting instead. There is also concern regarding opening a bank account with a DTV Visa; users indicate that it does not simplify the process, and many banks are unfamiliar with this visa, leading to difficulties in account openings.

All visa classes must do a TM47.. Only some classes it is annually not 90 days.

if you're asking does holding a DTV cut you any slack at banks opening a bank account, that answer would appear to be NO it does not 😮

People on DTV's have just as much trouble opening a bank account as people here on free stamp or tourist visa entries

It would appear banks are not familiar with the DTV visa yet, so it comes down to you hitting bank after bank until you find one that will do it with requirements you can provide OR you use an agent like most people end up doing 🙂

90 day reporting has nothing to do with the DTV. Any foreigner living in Thailand, that is not a resident, has to report every 90 days.

There are certain other exemptions. LTR and some other BOI Visa. They are annual.

@Greg *******
- The LTR is a "residency" visa though. I assume the other BOI visas are as well.

@John ******
They are not residency visas.

if you stay more than 90 days continuously you must report.

While it hasn’t been 90 days.

Why not just report.

the DTV is issued by the MFA, but it's immigration that actually administer the visas.

This is why there's no information available in the same place that DTV application information resides.

check this:

Some visa types have different reporting requirements (LTR, Elite/Privilege), but in general, all foreigners need to do the 90 day reporting.

this makes it clear that 90 day reporting is required. There's nothing to debate.

@John *********
exactly. Unless we're informed otherwise, we need to report.

@Gerry *******
This exactly. Immigration have been very quiet on this. I guess we might only find out when someone applies for an extension and fined for not dong a 90 day report. The TM30 might also be a factor - no extension at Jomtien without TM30. In fact no 90 day report at Jomtien without TM30.

@Greg *******
I guess it's too early. We haven't heard a whisper from Immigration...

I've never stayed long enough, but will do on my next visit. At that time, I guess I'll need to figure out the whole TM30 deal, especially how it relates to self-reporting, when TM30 is supposed to be the responsibility of the owner or landlord.

@Gerry *******
Immigration are probably still thinking "What is in this for me" and thinking about lost revenue :-)
Greg ********
@Gerry *******
It is supposed to be the landlord and I have never had an issue. In Bangkok ot was never done as on BOI Visa and they did not seem to care. Nobody at the company had it down. Three other landlords or agents did it as part of the set up. If a landlord does not want to do it then probably dodging tax on rentals lol

Many pervious posts explain everything..have a look..

I think you're confused

why would they post anything official? the ONLY visa to thailand that people can get which isn't obligated to file a 90 day report is the LTR (they do it yearly IF they're in thailand for a year)

EVERYONE else on a visa/extension who stays 90 days or more is obligated to do a 90 day report
