Typical Thailand Immigration.

Can't do a DTV 90 day report at Chamchuri Square, Bangkok with a DTV visa. Told have to travel 20 km (1.5 hr) to Lak Si.

Waste of time, shame the information isn't clearer or even remotely visible considering a large percentage of people with DTV aren't even aware a 90 day report is required. I would have imagined the Immigration bureau would ask the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to advise recipients of such visas to be aware of such a requirement if it's really that important.

For such a straightforward process, it seems to be incredibly inconvenient.

Can i ask how can we count for 90days if we get Dtv visa? Someone said it count from a day when i arrived in Thailand.And also what kind of documents i need to prepare? If I go do abroad and come back, do I also need to count back from when i arrived back?

Hi. I am in Thailand on my DTV visa. I am getting closer to the time of my 90-day reporting. Furthermore, I have international driving license, but it is valid only for 3 months in Thailand after crossing the border. I was planning do the reporting and converting my license to Thai one and do 90 days, but there came an opportunity for a border bounce.

Here is my question: I will be in Chiang Rai soon. Is it a good option to do a border bounce to “reset” 90-days and driving license? If so: do I just need to exit Thailand and do I have to come into Laos? If so, for how long do I need to enter Laos?

1h drive sounds tempting in comparison to 3 days spent in Thai immigration and other offices ;-)

So just to be clear. You get one 180 day extension in a five year period. So once you use that single extension you cannot get another for the visit if the visa and have to leave within 180 days. Then secondly for the 90 day reporting you only need to do that if you are staying past 90 days . So if you leave the country at 89 days you would be exempt from the reporting ? And then every time you enter it’s automatically 180 consecutive days again you can stay?

Hi ,

Wanted to share an update and looking for suggestions.

Recently applied for 90 days reporting online but received an email that it has been rejected.

And the mail says that “ For first-time requests of a 90-day notification in each country visit, in-person presentation at the immigration office is required”.

Does that mean every time after 180 days period is over or travel outside country before 90 days , reporting has to be done face to face?

It's time to do a new visa.

I am considering the LTR or the retirement visa.

The appeal of the LTR, from what I understand, no taxes?

The visa is a little pricey but over ten years, the per year price is very reasonable especially if you consider it gets me out of doing any tax nonsense.

The appeal of the retirement visa is that it's cheap and there are a lot of "help" available.

Does anybody know the LTR is immune to taxation?

Any other opinions?

DTV is great but I fail to see how its better than the retirenment visa.

Is it possible to get a Thai residence certificate less than 90 days after re-entry? I'm on a 5 year Elite visa. I've been here for a year, and already done a few 90 day reports, but I've recently re-entered. I need a residence certificate so I can renew my Thai driver's license, and everything I'm reading says I need a 90 day report after my most recent entry in order to get a residence certificate. It seems a bit silly that I have to wait 90 days to be able to renew my drivers license just because I recently left the country and came back. Is there any way around the 90 day report requirement for getting a residence certificate to renew my drivers license? I'm on Koh Phangan.

I have a DTV and my TM30, and I need to get a certificate of residence. Has anyone gone through this process before?

Hello,

Where is the closest immigration to do my first 90 day reporting for DTV near Asoke Bangkok?

Thanks 🙏🏼

DTV and 90 day reporting.

Hello all and happy new year. I am on a DTV in Chiang Mai, arrived in mid Oct so my 90 day report will be due in the next couple of weeks. As this is my first report do I need to go to immigration office or can I do online 🤔. Thanks
