ORIGINAL POSTERHello everyone,
I’m sharing my 90 day reporting experience in Bangkok so you don’t make the same mistakes I do.
1. For the DTV visa, do not go to OneBangkok. They only process business/work visa 90 day reporting. Not DTV. Instead, go to Immigration Division 1 Immigration Bureau (120 อาคาร รัฐประศาสนภักดี B, Chaeng Watthana Rd, Thung Song Hong, Lak Si, Bangkok 10210, Thailand)
2. Do not wear shorts that are above the knees (e.g exercise shorts). I was told that I dressed immodestly, and I had to go see a supervisor who told me again that what I was wearing was inappropriate. They did process my 90 day reporting, but the judgement was very uncomfortable. I do understand that it was my fault since it is a government building. So just a heads up.
3. I believe that as long as you arrive and get a queue number before 3:30pm, you’re good to go. I got there around 2:30pm and the ticket said that if I miss my number, I can get another one before 3:30pm.
Hope this helps!

just go back to your own country if you think like that 😃 you are exactly the type of white tourist thailand should prefer to see leaving with the pattaya soi 6 mentalityAnonymous ******************

Seems you have a lot of issues with Thailand. Why don't you just f-off if it's so difficult?Luit *****************
For some people respect for others is just a difficult thing, they are calling having respect as something stupid.
If you are too rude to show respect yourself, you can hardly expect others to treat you with respect.

Just did mine yesterday. TM30 directly downloaded from the wedsite will do, TM 47 will need your TDAC arrival number filled in which we recieve this when we fill in the TDAC form so make sure to have that. Passport visa page copy. Thats it.

I once wore a top with square neck line. In the US that was fine but here not so much. The lady was refusing to process my visa because of top and the agent i was with at the time kept apologizing on my behalf to her. She gave me the visa but i felt bad. Lesson learned....

Anonieme deelnemer 427 I wonder how you did not know this. Almost every travel site on earth mentions this for tourists traveling to Thailand.
How could you miss this info about a country you want to stay for a longer time.

no need to be condescending or patronizing. Women’s issues are important and universally present.VZ ****
@Angela ******
I agree with Luit here; most foreigners have no sensitivity or awareness about the country they visit and just think they are in some tropical laa-laa-land where they can do whatever they want. just consider it a lesson in humility 😉Luit *****************
@Angela ******
It has nothing to do with condescending or patronizing, I just wonder how someone could have missed all that info.On litterally thousands of sites is mentioned that in Thailand in government buildings you need to be dressed properly.
Most times explained that when you need 30 day extension of your stay you should remind this.
Who is talking about women's issues?????

don't bllsht. No one wears pants or long skirts at immigration Chonburi. Its all shorts and thongs.Anonymous ******************
@Chris ********
Interesting how Chonburi immigration seems to have most problems!Luit *****************
@Chris ********
We were talking how people should behave, not how people actually (mis)behave in some cities.I more and more understand why some people claim a visit to immigration always is a hassle...

First one must be in person or by post. 2nd one can be online but if you leave country and come back it resets ie the first report has to be in person againAnonymous ******************
@Jins *******
the first time needs to be done in person. Second time can be online. Every time you exit thailand it resets itself and first time must be in person againReply to
