Curious, are you guys just skipping 90 day report and pay the 2k fee on the flight day?

It seems kinda silly to lose a whole day for 2k when we can work from home and make more then that.

Edit: thx everyone, had no clue thailand does not care about the 90 day report for dtv holders, just another weird thai system that makes no sense, gotcha.

interested in getting some emergency medical insurance, but have been told by major company here they don't cover DTV holders........ I'd like an affordable, reasonably inexpensive policy covering motorbike injuries, stoke, heart attack, emergency evacuation to USA (where I have comprehensive coverage) for follow on care, surgery, etc. If anyone here has experience and success with this type coverage ,I'd be grateful to learn how to get it. 62 yr old male, relatively good health, on no meds, no issues. Thank you in advance

DTV holders, have a question ! If you stay in a hotel in Thailand for few days and then return home, does the landlord have to fill out the TM30 form again? How does it work?

Hi group, I have a question. Has anyone done a vias run (boarder hop) via the friendship bridge in Nong Khai. I would like to do an in and out from Laos and back to thailand.

Has anyone done the same and were there any issues with re entry. I know Immigration are not after DTV holder l, but I just want to make sure it will be no issues.

Update

I have just finished my boarder hop and no issues on returning to thailand. The only question asked was where is the Laos stamp in my passport. Then stamped in for y months a passport handed back.

There might be EXTRA concern for those coming into Thailand from Cambodia.

There are messages seen on Social Media about foreigners working for the Cambodia army/government to create unrest in Thailand.

It has nothing to do with your visa or that you travel a lot as DTV holder.

Hi fellow DTV holders. I’ll be doing my first 90 day check in. Going to chaing Mai immigration office. Any advice or recommendations? What should I bring with me? I’m already planning to get there early. Your response is appreciated

Thank you for info.

Hello all,

After 18 months in Thailand on exemptions and extensions I'm feeling great being back in on the DTV. I will need to transition from travel insurance to proper expat health insurance in September. How much is this going to cost me? My main priority is direct billing to Bangkok Hospital. I'd appreciate any pointers as I continue my research. Curious what products other DTV folks have selected.

Just saw this posted on reddit- immigration is catching onto people "buying" departure flights on Onward lol

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.

Yikes 😬

I’m so obsessed with opening bank account. Help me out :)
