What is the process for 90-day reporting for DTV visa holders in Thailand?

ORIGINAL POSTERJust entered Thailand on my DTV from Manchester. Online full check in was not available, I could pick my seat but it instructed me to go to the desk for boarding passes, even the little machines before the desk would not allow it. The girl on check in hadn’t seen the dtv before but she just typed in the visa number and it was not an issue.
On arrival in Phuket my passport was stamped for 180 days, but after me asking the immigration officer said I have to report to the immigration office at 90 days.
It’s not a problem doing that but if people are coming for the first time they may not be aware of the 90 day reporting

TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion revolves around the requirements for 90-day reporting and TM30 registration for DTV visa holders in Thailand. Upon entering Thailand with a DTV visa, individuals must report to an immigration office every 90 days, and their accommodation must file a TM30 to confirm their residence. Many expats emphasize the importance of understanding these rules as first-time visitors may not be aware of them. There are varying opinions on the necessity and enforcement of these requirements, with some sharing personal experiences and advice on managing the processes.

Do you think the DTV will ensure you can progress other items such as Bank Account, renting an apartment - I hope some rental places will consider 6 months lets Vs 1 year or I can rent 1 year and find others to use the times a long term place is empty - 100% want to comply with all the rules. Will be in Phuket early October, appreciate any advice. will you use Phuket as your long term DTV base ?

no landlord will ask you for a visa; a month rent in advance and 2 months deposit is all they are interested. As for banks - you may need to see quite a few before one will give you a bank account. Immigration letter of residence is important but after that each bank is differently fussy; one branch rejected me as the lease pages were signed by just one person not both as on the lease. Other had a problem with surname being before the first name on the lease and the immigration letter. 3rd time lucky as the clerk wanted to finish for the day just before closing time. Easiest route is an agent, a 30 min job for any visa.Evelina ******

I'm clueless about the 90 day reporting thing. How does it work? You just show up at the nearest immigration and show them your passport? Do you have to fill up a form?

Every Immigration office has different rules. In CM, the first one has to be done in person.

In the specific case of the DTV, as long as you don't need to use immigration for anything and assuming you always do a border run and don't extend in country, I don't see how this can be enforced.Andi mentioned through the new ETA system (although that's only for visa exempt travelers) but it supposedly comes with a comprehensive new surveillance apparatus
That's a possible way, but if it applies, it hasn't been implemented yet.
What I'm saying is that up until now, enforcement of the 90 day report has been done purely by your immigration office and that pertains to those on extensions of stay.
This visa will be an interesting case study to see whether it changes but I suspect until a new enforcement system is in place, in practice anyway, nothing will happen because immigration officers at the border aren't interested in TM30s or TM47s.

Interesting, I’ve just gone through a DTV online application and there was no mention of 90 day reporting. Should I have seen it during this process?
Also, on the TM30 point. Can I not complete 90 day reporting without a TM30?

@Nadeem *******
DTV does not detail the 90-day process as it is not part of embassys duites. 90-day reporting is part of Thai immigration. Need the tm30 for the reportKeith ************
@Andi **********
ymmv but generally you must do the 90 day report in person the first time and possibly the first time after you re-enter the country.Paul *******
@Andi **********
They should really make it a 180 day report. Why do LTR visa holders get a 12 month reporting privilege but DTV holders are supposedly required to do 90 day reporting? Unless you're actually intending on using immigration services, you could easily bypass the reporting and nothing will happen to you.
What I mean by this is, if you're using your embassy for certificates of residency and you plan to do border runs every 180 days...you'll never interact with an immigration office. Only border immigration and they don't care about 90 day reports or TM30s.
Andi ***********
@Paul ******
THE LTR is for the wealthy, so the 12mth reporting is a small incentive. Need to invest like 500K in Thai bonds, have 1mill in asstes for the 10 yr visa. Yes, you do not need to do the report, with travel overseas within 90 daysPaul *******
@Andi **********
Right. Anyway, what I'm suggesting is they should make the reporting 180 days. That would make sense.
I still don't see how they'll enforce the 90 day reporting requirement unless you're going in for 180 day extensions. Then of course, they will.
Andi ***********
@Paul ******
The 90 days is the legal requirement for foreign residents but i get what you are saying about the 180 day reporting. Yes, can not be enforced unless you go into immigration for the extension. lm not sure if the new ETA system from Dec will alert immigration to 90-day non reporters .Paul *******
@Andi **********
Good point, that could be. However, the ETA is only for visa-exempt travelers so probably won't and can't be used in this case.Andi ***********
@Paul ******
"The initiative aims to enhance visitor management and national security" . I think the system will show when you entered and when you leave so if stopped they should be able to find out if you have done a 90 day report.Paul *******
@Andi **********
OK. The system may be more comprehensive than I've been led to believe. Thanks for sharing. I'll look into it, but more information will likely be forthcoming as we get closer to the implementation date.Andi ***********
@Paul ******
I think there will be more details about extending the DTV soon as the 6mth mark is coming up of its release. The 90 day report can be done online, so not too troublesome if needed.Paul *******
@Andi **********
Yes online or via mail (post).Nadeem ********

that’s an interesting way to look at it. Our intention is to enter, stay for 180 days (no multiple entry) and leave. I would prefer not to have to travel to an immigration centre for 90 day reporting…Gerry ********

yes you can on line as long as the house owner supplies the documents required to register the property.

yes, but many times they don't as most land lords do not want to declare the rent for income tax reason, you must chase this up not have TM30 is an issue for many things like bank accounts and licenses. Also, you cannot do a 90-day report without a valid tm30. No 90 day report means a fine and if the police catch you its detention.Siggi *******

why you keep on lying? There is no police checking 90 days reports, there is no detention if you not do. So stop telling people lies. The same about your tax dream. No one on tourist visa and who doesn't work in Thailand has to pay income taxGreg ********

why would it be on the email that the you get about the visa? The visa is issued by the embassy/consulate thru the ministry of foreign affairs.
They have nothing to do with anything inside the country once you get the visa.

neither am I. You are forgetting something we have a new government, different from those of the past. Who knows for sure what they will do.

@Graham ******
I don't get an SMS when my monthly deposit is made. I think all transactions over 50k are already reported, have been for a couple of years, but the tax office knows these transfers have already paid tax, so they're not concerned about them. The 300 baht they'll be getting from every ETA after December will keep them more than happy! 😂Paul *******
@Andy ***********
100%. Also, what's the point if it's not enforced? Also, for the DTV I can't see how they could possibly enforce it, provided you're doing border runs or leaving at the end of each 180 days then coming back at some future date.Reply to

@Graham ******
A DTV holder is only a temporary visitor. They don't need Tax ID, resident certificate or driver's licence. They're really nothing more than a long-staying tourist. They don't even need a bank accountGraham *******
@Andy ***********
All visas are temporary that's why they are called visas and not residence permits, all visas have an expiry date. I would imagine many will want to get a driving license so they will need a resident certificate and therefore a TM30. The DTV is not a tourist visa, if they are resident for 180 days or more, they will need a TIN. Yes, they do not need bank accounts but having one will make life much easier, up to them to decide. The point of your post was what exactly.Andy ************
@Graham ******
The fact that a DTV holder can stay in Thailand without the need to have a Tax ID, certificate of residency, driver's licence, blue book, yellow book, green book, purple book, pink card, bank account and any other worthless piece of paper. A DTV holder simply border bounces and starts the whole process again. You obviously know absolutely ZERO about Double Tax Agreements.Graham *******
@Andy ***********
180 day or more then they need a mandatory tax id. TM30 and a 90-day report are also mandatory. The other docs issued by TH gov are not worthless, up to the individual. You are giving very dangerous advice to people who do not know better. Here are the DTA. *************************************
Andy ************
@Graham ******
Yes you need to read it. Especially the bit about determining which residency prevails if a person has dual tax residency. All those rainbow coloured books and cards are not worth a f**t. I've lived in Thailand for 15 years and survived without any of them, and still drive on my Aussie licence. I guess you're one of these expats who gets a fuzzy warm feeling over your rainbow books! 😂😂😂Graham *******
@Andy ***********
there are 61 DTA everyone is different. 180 days or more for Thailand. So, you are under the RADAR in hiding, what have you done?Andy ************
@Graham ******
Under the radar to negate the need to get a Thai tax ID. Unlike you, I don't have orgasms over getting another meaningless piece of Thai bureaucracy! I've paid my taxes already. Box tickedGraham *******
@Andy ***********
Well Actually, I am under the radar by being here less than 180 days. If I come permanently, I will do it via the new LTR. The new gov rules might just untick your box. let's wait and see, a new broom sweeps clean.Andy ************

You're obviously very frightened. But never mind. I've paid my taxes, so I'm guessing you haven't so it's little wonder you're running in fear! 😂😂😂Graham *******
@Andy ***********
well, I am not running in fear. I have a capital gain next year with a very low tax bill in the source country would give rise to a 30% tax bill in Thailand so yeah, I am going to use a tax avoidance tactic (same as you), that is be resident in Philippines which does not tax foreigners on their foreign income. 😁😁😁😁😁Andy ************
@Graham ******
My avoidance tactic is even easier than yours. I retain tax residency in Australia, which means I pay a big fat zero in Thailand. Brilliant huh?Graham *******
@Andy ***********
Make sure you have the docs to claim that status. Just saying it probably won't work, as of today nobody knows what's docs they will accept.Andy ************
@Graham ******
Nothing required unless someone is audited, and easy enough to get a letter from my accountant.Graham *******
@Andy ***********
The Thai tax office will require docs from the Australian tax office and not a crooked accountant.Andy ************
@Graham ******
Crooked accountant? Like those you keep pushing in these threads? 😂😂😂😂. If I'm ever audited (highly unlikely) I'm happy to provide my annual tax assessment which shows I pay tax 😂😂😂Graham *******
@Andy ***********
Glad to hear it. BTW I have no connection to Carl Turner, we simply us his vids and others as the start point to understand the law without have to pay for it. Simply showing you pay tax in Australia is no proof of residency. If you are resident in Thailand for 180 days, you tax in Thailand. I can see many holes in this method of tax evasion, there are many Australians claiming it, I think they will target Australians for audit, remember the fine if 200%.Andy ************
@Graham ******
Doubt it. The Thai Tax Office would look at the DTA first. Very easy for Aussies to retain Australian Tax Residency, in which case Aussie Tax Office gets the dollars!! 😂😂😂Graham *******
@Andy ***********
Tax residency yes. The ETA which is being trialed on Australians will give the first test of Tax residency, will be automatic. After that you will need to appeal your case.Andy ************
@Graham ******
ETA is for visa exempt entries. You're way behind the eight ball. 😂😂😂Graham *******
@Andy ***********
To be extended to all, currently just a trial.Andy ************
@Graham ******
Wrong again! But it's irrelevant anyway. The ETA has nothing to do with a Double Tax Treaty! Big win for AUSTRALIA!! 🦘 🦘Graham *******
@Andy ***********
The ETA and everything around it which is coming is to circumvent the corruption within Immigration. ETA gives the tax office an electronic record of your arrivals and departures. So, when you exceed 180 days, the Tax office will be looking for a tax return. You can argue your cases from there. Just because you got away with it this year, don't me they are not looking for you. We still need info on how far back in time they will go when someone is audited.Andy ************
@Graham ******
Immigration already has a record of arrivals and departures. The ETA is a mechanism for visa exempt entries to pay the 300 baht tourism tax. People with current visas/extensions won't need an ETA. The DTA will actually determine who is a tax resident of Thailand or of another country. Only one residency is applicable, as double taxation is not applicable. You should have asked your accountant mate - he would have told you - or maybe not as he's out to scam people!Graham *******
@Andy ***********
Carl, employs his own CPA's. DTA do not determine tax residency, they only show which taxes paid can be deducted against Thai tax, the day count from antiquated stamps is used, this cannot be automated. Instead, they will extend the ETA to cover all entries and departures. Once the magical 180 days is passed people will be deemed tax resident and will be required to submit a return which will be online soon. Zero tax paid in Thailand will be one flag for audit.Andy ************
@Graham ******
Shows just how little you actually know. Try reading section 3(a) of the Australian DTA and focus on that magic word "solely"! Game, Set and Match AUSTRALIA!!!Graham *******
Fine, if you are resident 180 days in Thailand you cannot be resident in Australia. You're just claiming to be, you will be flagged for audit for no return or no tax paid. Who knows what proof you will need to prove you were actually in Australia, having settled a tax claim in Australia does not mean you fail the Thai residency test. Soo many will try to claim this and will probably fail.
Andy ************
@Graham ******
You're still missing the word "solely". A person with dual tax residency is tested on the DTA. Australia wins! No matter what you or your buddy Carl says. Happy to be audited. I'll send a copy of the DTA! But both you and I know I won't be audited! 😂😂😂Graham *******
@Andy ***********
you have to satisfy the test and currently we do not know how they will police this or any other request for exemption. Many of these will end up in court because they are ambiguous and difficult to claim.Andy ************
@Graham ******
Nothing ambiguous about the Australian DTA. Easy to prove tax residency in Australia. Other countries may have difficulty but Australia as always, is the winner!Paul *******
@Graham ******
Those things are mostly related to general immigration matters.As you can probably tell, while it's OK to ask a question like: "can i receive a 5 year license while on a DTV visa", for the most part, we're interested in how to apply for a DTV and the requirements at particular consulates.
Andy ************
@Paul ******
He goes on and on and on and on about Tax ID in every group. He hasn't quite got it that he's the only person melting down about it. The rest of us know the Tax Office doesn't give a hoot about expats who have already paid tax on their money. He's even telling tourists who are in the country more than 180 days that they'll need a Tax ID too. I just ROFL at his comments!Paul *******
@Andy ***********
I ROFL at his comments too. It's pure fear mongering and largely irrelevant to this group. I wish people would discuss more pertinent issues such as which consulates have financial "seasoning" requirements and such. Far more important and the purpose of this group.Jim ***********

@Jim **********
Just discussing this. We reckon about 2% max of people who should have a TIN actually have one ie tax resident in Thailand as here more than 180 in a tax year. Unless tax returns are linked to visa issuance ie show your tax return and all payments before you get your yearly renewal etc, there will not be much take up of it.

The 90 day reporting has been in place for years for foreign residents staying 90 days consecutively. It is for the vast majority of visa holders Inc DTV.Wayne ******************
@Andi **********
yes maybe so for those that are ITK. When applying for these new visas for new markets: where's the information so everyone is correctly informed? So, if you can point me towards a link to this information (and where it includes DTV as it maybe just for legacy visa types) I'll take a read up on it. Thanks, as my DTV arrived in my email this morning.

what would make you think that DTV would be exempt? It’s merely wishful thinking by the generally uninformedAndreas *********
@Wayne *****************
you don't need any extra informations - the law says that EVERY foreigner who stays inside Thailand longer than 90 consecutive days, has to do the 90-days report. This law is completely independent from any visa catagory, it doesn't matter which visa or which stay permit you are on.John *******
@Wayne *****************
- It has nothing to do with the DTV visa, but a requirement for residing in Thailand. DTV information is going to just tell you about DTV related detailsAndi ***********
@Wayne *****************
it has not been stated In the DTV info so many are not aware. There is a lot of info on FB about the 90 day reporting, you can search the threads. Check Thai immigration website for foreign residents. It is only if you stay 90 days in a row, if you leave and return within 90 days don't need to do it. As others mentioned which many don't know, you pay tax if you stay more than 180 days.Wayne ******************
@Andi **********
you'd think a couple of bullet points or a paragraph as part of the issuance email stating these requirements wouldn't be unhelpful or even as part of the acceptance criteria before you submit the app. Thanks for the heads up. I don't normally join these groups so I wonder what I'd be walking into if I didn't join this one. Thanks for taking the time to comment 👍🏿Andi ***********
@Wayne *****************
Agreed, more info should have been given about post arrival in Thailand regarding 90 days and tax implications.Reply to

Many folks have no idea about the 90 day reporting, so thanks for your useful post.

you should also have your landlord or where ever you stay file a TM30 to show you're registered as staying at that location 🙂
