Questions about the DTV Visa and Entry Procedures in Thailand

Hi everyone,

I’ve received the DTV Visa (5 years, Workation for remote work), and I have a few questions about the entry process and formalities. I’d appreciate it if you could help me out:

1. TM30 Registration:

Do I need to register within 24 hours of entering Thailand?

Can I complete the TM30 form online, or do I have to visit the immigration office in person?

Is the landlord typically responsible for the TM30 registration, or do I need to handle it myself?

Do I need to complete the TM30 registration again after every re-entry, for example, if I leave for a short trip to a neighboring country and return?

2. 180-Day Rule:

I understand I need to leave Thailand every 180 days. Is a short trip to a neighboring country (e.g., Malaysia) enough to get a new entry stamp?

Do I need to present bank documents or other supporting documents upon re-entry, or is my visa and passport sufficient?

Would a single day outside Thailand be enough, or is it better to plan a weekend trip?

3. Additional Requirements for Long Stays:

Besides the TM30 registration, are there any other formalities I need to complete for a longer stay?

4. DTV Visa Types:

Are there different types of DTV visas (e.g., shorter versions or different conditions)? Some people seem to have only a regular tourist visa—how can I tell what applies to me?

I’m a bit confused by the mixed information I’ve found so far and would really appreciate any advice or tips from those with experience. What should I pay attention to, and how can I ensure everything runs smoothly?

Thanks so much for your help! 😊

Hello all, I went to Myanmar for a week, I arrived back here in Phuket 2 days ago, the person who works at the desk checked me into the apartment online. My question is, do I still need to go to the immigration office?

This is the first time the management has checked me in on-line, so I don't know what to do at this point. Thank you in advance for your assistance.
