January 2026 marks the 180th day of my DTV visa stay. Do I have to leave for a few days and then come back again, or can I extend my stay at the immigration office? Apparently, a lot of changes have been made recently for foreigners.

Many people have commented in this group how owners refuse fail to file a TM30. I am happy to see something being done about this

Hello, my property manager/land lord is giving me push back on completing my TM30. I have indicated that this is required by law to do, but still getting pushback. I have to do my 90 day report next month. Any advice on what I should do.

Thanks in advance

90 Days Report tips.

Hello!!

I must go this week for the first 90 days report to immigration office in Bangkok (I have DTV).

I have the TM30, visa, Arrival Card, passport, stamp.

Please, Any advise? Suggestion? Comment? Does it take too much time?

Thanks a lot.

Bye!!!

DTV question. If a company based in Japan were to hire me to attend events in SE Asia on their behalf, including public appearances in Bangkok, would this be allowed as per DTV guidelines around working in Thailand?

90 day reports with a DTV. I want to share my experience so that others may learn from it.

1. You must do your 90 day report in the province that your TM-30 address is located.

2. You have to do your report in person if you hold a DTV. There are no options for online filing, unless you have done the 6 month extension in country without leaving to reset the visa. I will explain this more below.

I recently needed to do my 2nd 90 day report while holding a DTV in Thailand. I read that after the first report in person you may submit the following reports online. This is true, however the count of reports submitted resets after every new arrival in the country. As a DTV holder, I leave every 6 months for a period of time so I will never have a 2nd 90 day report on one visit into Thailand. The 7 day grace period covers any "tight" timelines on having to do a 2nd 90 day report in 6 months.

I was traveling visiting some friends during my last reporting window and submitted online, only to be rejected. I visited the local immigration facility and it was explained to me that I needed to do the report where I live only. They were very nice and calmed my fears of problems with immigration by helping me understand the 7 day grace period after the 90 days in country that you have to file. I was home before that time was expired so everything worked out fine.

I just wanted to help anyone else that might not have gone through the 90 report process yet. Because of the slight pain of the process in my busy area now that it is high season, I might consider one of those do it for you visa services to file my next 90 day report, if they don't charge too much.

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 🙏🏼

Completed my first 90day check in. It was pretty easy.

Quick tips:

1. Fill in paperwork before getting there. You can download forms from immigration website.

2. Go before noon on Monday or Tuesday. Less of a crowd.

Took no more than 20 min.

Dear community,

I am contemplating to apply for a DTV softpower Visa.

I wanted to commit to a six month course but read a few testimonies that, when re-entering Thailand, some were asked to show a valid course.

So I am wondering if I should rather find a 1 year or 2 years option in order to travel in and out without worrying about this.

My question: Was any of you asked to show a proof of a valid course when re-entering Thailand after the first 6 month?

I would be very grateful for some insights and advice.

Thank you
