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! 😊

I need a Visa agent in Pattaya. Anyone have a good place?

Went to get out 60 day visa exemption extended today for 30 days and it could not have been easier.

Went to Krabi Immigration office at 9am and it was getting busy already. We took with us photocopies of our passport and the visa stamp on our passport. We also took along a recent passport photo and 1900 bhats in cash.

The lovely lady there asssited us and we were then seated until we were call to the desk.

Easy peasy and it took us 30 minutes but we could see it could get busier as the day went on - by the way we are from the UK🙏🇹🇭

How do you schedule or book an online appointment for a ED-Visa in Kuala Lumpur? I'm planning on moving by next month on February and i have everything ready but i heard that i have to book an appointment 2 weeks before going🙇‍♀️

Hi

It seems there are literally No visa agents in East Thailand - Nakom Phanom, Mukdahan Area? Have to go all the way tp Khon Kaen to see an agent for help?

Thanks for any advice.

Anybody did DTV online or in person at immigration in Cambodja? Currently in Bangkok and was thinking about taking a flight to Phnom Penh. Since it's just an 1hour flight for around 1000-2000baht.

Anyone had any success there or planning the same thing?

What I heard is that they are opening up e-visa.

Does it go faster if you go straight to the immigration?

Have all the documents prepared.

I am not quite sure that I can apply for the DTV visa, would an agent like to reach out? Yes, I know what the requirements are. Thanks.

My Visa approved UK Thai embassy straight forward just asked for extra documents.

Print the PDF certificate and approval email off to travel as nothing was said on email as what next step is ?

Can I get DTV from Pakistan? I sent email to embassy but no response as yet, any suggestions?

Hi! Question on the DTV renewal: after 180 days do we have to go to an immigration center in BKK with the same documents we used to apply the first time at our home embassies? Thanks
