I'm an Offshore Worker on a 28/28 day rotation I have previously travelled in and out if Thailand every 28 days on visa exemption and never had an issue but that was over 10yrs ago. Currently I travel to Thailand 3 or 4 times a year again on visa exempt and still never had an issue but I am reading more and more where multiple entrants are getting questioned and sometimes turned around, I do see that a lot of these are usually staying for the 60 days and applying for the extra 30.
My question is are there still rig pigs travelling in and out every 28 days on visa exemptions and not having any problems as Im considering doing that again so it would be 6 or 7 entries a yr.
Hi all! I am trying to do my 90 day report and my landlord told me to register online for the TM30 (she is very old and not comfortable with internet).
I registered and got approved on the immigration website to get my TM30 but they did not send me the PDF. Is that normal? Can I go without it to the immigration office and they can see my registration online? Or is there something not normal here?
I'm not sure whether this is the appropriate site to ask the following question, I hope so. My 90 day Report is due soon, I just paid my rent, asked for a new TM30 for doing the Report, now the place where I stay tells me: "the system is down, we've been struggling since yesterday". Our company actually do it on our behalf, but we have to supply the correct documentation, etc, in order for them to make the TM47 application.
Has anyone experienced a similar problem lately, I really don't want to pay a B500 per day once it expires!
Has anyone been denied entry after their initial 180 day stay with an approved DTV visa because they had to show continued soft power activity (muay thai, cooking, etc)?
Hi guys. I got an e-mail from immigration that my 90 days report will soon be due. However, I just got back to Thailand a couple of weeks ago and I thought it all started over the day I returned. Should I ignore the e-mail and go there 90 days from my arrival ?
I have a retirement visa and rent a villa. My friend from the US was in a scooter accident in Vietnam and broke his leg. He just flew in to stay with me for a few weeks until he has better mobility. Do I need to take him to immigration to report he is temporarily living at my rental house, and what are the documents needed? Does the house owner need to be involved?
I have a question regarding the Thailand DTV (Destination Thailand Visa).
When I applied for my DTV visa, I submitted proof of remote work showing that I was employed by a specific company.
My question is: What happens if I change my employer during the validity of my DTV visa?
I’ve seen several posts where people mentioned that Thai immigration sometimes asks for updated proof of remote work during re-entry or when using the visa for the second or third time.
So, if I change my company but continue working remotely (with a new employer), will immigration expect me to still be employed by the same company I listed during the DTV application?
Or is it acceptable as long as I continue remote work and meet the financial requirements?
Would appreciate insights from anyone who has faced this situation
90 days report discoveries that cost me 4,000 baht and many wasted hours:
1. Even if you have yearly rental contract and the owner filled up TM.30 when you moved with expire date all the way to the next 12 months IF you get out of the country it’s not valid anymore. Every time you enter Thailand you need to do TM.30 address report again. Ignore that the existing TM.30 “check out date: 30.12.2025” - they don’t accept it and treat as non existent.
The punishment: 1600 baht and need to bring them copies of full rental contract + id of owner + house book.
(collecting rent documents is much bigger punishment).
2. You can do the 90 days report 14 days before the date and 7 days after. Each late day is 500 baht, maximum 2000 baht.
If you will come on the 8th day they treat it as you late 8 days and not 1 days late. Even if you have Documentation of ER stay due to a car accident on these weeks - won’t help. Punishment: 2000 baht, very long queue to pay it and airport officers asking extra questions due to fine stamp on the passport.
In short: every time you fly into Thailand, you need to ask for TM30 even if you’re on yearly contact and even if you left Thailand only for 24 hours. Don’t wait for last moment to do the 90 days report, you never know maybe a pickup truck will crash into you in the exact day you planned to do the report.
