Where should I report for my 90-day visa check in Pattaya after my DTV visa approval?

@Simon ***********

The embassy / consulate is never going to tell you about doing 90 day reporting as this is from a separate entity : immigration. When you get a visa, you don't get told by someone to do 90 day reporting if you stay 90 days or more because not everyone stays 90 days. Its just knowledge that you need to be aware of. I learned about it from my landlord because as soon as I rented she had to do a TM30 for the reporting. I agree that it would be nice to be told but not being told or claiming ignorance of the rule is not an excuse for not abiding by it.

Maybe its like getting a driving license and saying "well no one told me I couldn't drive through a stop light" lol, maybe a bad analogy but kinda similar.

@Simon ***********

it doesn’t need to Simon. The law in Thailand is 90 day reporting.

Only LTR visa holders are exempt.

The quote i posted there is from the DTV literature. It’s very clear

@Greg *******

read the law. It states this "The Immigration Act,B.E.2522,the foreigner who has received a temporary stay permit and stayed in the Kingdom of Thailand over 90 days must notify his/her residence to immigration officer every 90 days.". So, I don't know BOI and LTR - but they might not be considered temporary stay permits, but the DTV most definitely is a temporary stay permit since its a 180 day permit. Assume you need to do reporting because of this.

@Tim **********

you waste your spare time do you Tim! That's useful though

@Derry ********

agreed ✅

@Derry ********

waste my time doing what exactly ?

@Tim **********

I said you don't waste your time.

@Derry ********

Actually your comment says "you waste your spare time do you Tim" :)

@Tim **********

oh.... my bad I meant to say you don't waste your spare time.... as in your research was thorough

@Tim **********

Depending on the Visa Type there are other incentives on BOI or LTR. For example one BOI Visa has a flat rate of tax of 15%. The Smart S Visa it is 27%. LTR you are not taxed on global income brought into Thailand. All part of incentive packages for FDI and Global Talent

@Tim **********

I can assure you there are BOI and LTR Visas where you do not have to do 90 days reports. They are not permanent and are temporary. It is part of the incentive package. Get to know all visa types before making blanket statements?

@Greg *******

I never disputed it. What I'm saying is that those are not temporary stay permits. The DTV is which is why it falls under the immigration act.

@Tim **********

Of course they are temporary stay permits. They are not PR and are issued for a specific period of time ie temporary.

@Greg *******

ok you seem to know it all, replying is futile and not making any progress on this issue. Report or don't report - I don't care lol. I will be reporting because as I see the immigration act, I have to report. You do you.

@Tim **********

correct ✅

@Paulie *******

180 days so at 90 have to do the check in? When I was working never needed to do it as travelled so much but it is not that much of a chore. Jomtien do it very quickly in person - I reckon they see it as a chore with no return on their investment in time

@Greg *******

from what I see noone knows yet is what I belive this why I ask my visa say Sept 2p24 to Sep 2029 muti entry but nothing on days to leave not like my MeTV was 6 months 60 days

I also got my DTV approved

Atul How many days did it take for approval? I'm planning to apply as well.

@Sonu ******

how long hotel booking you showed? How much time did they took to approve it
