Hello guys, I’ve got a couple of questions about extensions vs border run.

We’ve had our DTV visa for over a year now and living in Bangkok. During that year we were in and out of Thailand every 2 months so never had to do 90 day reporting nor extension.

We last reentered in July, already did our first 90day report in September and our 180 day stay ends in December.

Would you say it’s easier to do leave and re-enter like a visa run OR do another 90 day reporting followed by a DTV visa extension and get another 180 day stamp?

Has anyone encountered any issues with doing a DTV visa extension?

If “visa run” like option is easier, I was thinking of flying to KL for the weekend and back as it’s the cheapest flights for our dates. Are there any easier options you’d recommend?

Many thanks in advance

Good morning

I currently live in Chiang Mai on a Non O with yearly extension, if I relocate to say Hua Hin would the renewal process and 90day reports be straight forward or would I have to go through extra processes?

Thank you.

For several years i have used the online 90 day report without any problem. The last 4 occasions it has been rejected. I have just done 14 days before, 13 and today 12, each time rejected. Is anyone else experiencing the same problem?

Hi, I have been issued my marriage visa extension on the 30 October for 11 months as I had a 30 extension given to me before they gave me my extension. Do I do my first 90 day report, 90 days from the end of my evisa or from the start of the 11 months extension ? Thankyou but they didn't leave any paper in my passport to tell me.

Hi all,

Does the 90 day reporting clock restart everytime you leave & return? (Or is it every 90 days from visa issuance no matter what)?

Thank you

My 2nd 90-day report is due on 13 November, but I will leave the country on 17 November. Since it’s still within the 7-day grace period after the 13th, should I still do my 2nd 90-day report, or can I just leave the country on the 17th? Will there be any problems?

I did my first report prior 4 days before the due date,

My visa will be expired nov 18th, but my 90 days report due nov 13th. So there is no overstay

I’m getting really confused by the ED VISA I’ve been emailing a few schools for information etc .. and I was aware of that every 90days you have to go to immigration and extend your Ed visa to keep studying .

But one school wrote back to me and said that you have to leave Thailand after 6 months and apply again !!! This is the first time I’ve heard them say this …

90 day reporting

Reporting in Bangkok can be done 2 weeks before the 90 day date or within 1 week after the 90 day date. After that you will be fined.

1. Don’t go early in the morning, you’ll wait the entire day. I came at 1PM and got to the counter in approx. 2 - 3 hours. There are 6 counters and it takes approx. 5 min per person.

2. You only need your passport, a filled TM47, and a TM30. I printed my passport scans, property lease, and my DTV visa. All they took is a TM47, that I filled in at the immigration office, and my TM30. If you remember, write down the arrival card number on the TM47. If you don’t remember, don’t stress, no one is going to do anything with you. My immigration officer was nice, she wrote that down herself.

3. Make sure your address is properly mentioned in the TM30. I was rejected the first time because my address in TM30 was just the name of the condo. You need to have the name of the condo, address, and your room / condo number.

If you’re using the BTS to get to the immigration, don’t follow Google Maps, follow the people and they will lead you to a free shuttle bus thst goes between the BTS and the governmental complex.

Good luck 🙏🏼

Hello All! Everything been smooth with DTV since I got it.

For 90 day report, my first one, Krabi immigration.

1. What do I need to bring?

2. I understand I must show up personally in the office (remotely send docs not possible?).

3. I have wife and two small kids 2 and 4. All with DTV. I read I can go myself and bring their docs. Or do we all need to travel?

Thank you Xperts!

Hi, I applied for my 90-day report online, but it was rejected one day before the due date. I then went to immigration, and they told me to transfer my visa from my old passport to my new one first (since I had recently renewed my passport). It took me two days to complete all the required documents because I also needed a letter from my embassy. Yesterday, I finally went to transfer my visa, and I asked the 90-day counter to give me a token — even if it was the last one — so I could complete my 90-day report after the visa transfer. However, they told me to finish the transfer process first. I completed it around 5:30 p.m. Now my question is: will I be fined since it’s already been five days past the 90-day reporting deadline?
