For anyone needing to do their 90 day report on the DTV, I thought I’d share my experience for the first time at Koh Phangan office. I went around 2pm much quieter at this time. Documents I needed….

- TM30 (from landlord)

- TM47 (filled out at immigration)

- E-visa (printed out)

- Copy of passport (ID page and entry stamp page, copied at immigration)

Had to sign all pages.

I was given a ticket, waited 1 minute and all done. No cost. I was actually 1 day late and they were ok with that. They said I had 7 day grace period. They also said I could have submitted the report up to 15 days prior.

They mentioned from now on I can do my 90 day reporting online. They advised for online reporting it must be done either day before or on the day. It cannot be late it will be rejected. Also cannot be too early.

Hey everyone 👋

I’m on a DTV (work) and want to apply for a Certificate of Residence (for a driving license). Immigration asked me for TM30 + employment agreement + 2 photos, and now also a bank statement from the month I got my DTV until now (so basically several months).

I’m a bit confused:

1. Why do they request a long bank statement range for a residence certificate — is this standard practice at some offices?

2. Do they expect the same “proof of funds” amount to still be in the account (like for the DTV application), or is it more about showing financial stability / a real active account?

3. Is it okay to redact sensitive details (e.g., full account number, transaction counterparties), and if yes, what is safe to redact without them rejecting it?

Any recent experiences (especially with Koh Phangan would be super helpful. Thanks!

Certificate of Residence

I’m on business owner / freelancer DTV

I want to get the certificate in order to register bike on my name.

Today I went to an immigration office in Koh Phangan with:

- TM30

- Passport copy

- DTV copy

- 4x6 photos

But I’ve got an answer that I need to provide my bank statements and proof of funds again. Even though DTV started couple of weeks ago.

Perhaps I should try Koh samui? I’ve seen posts in this group saying they got it with what I’ve already brought.

These guys at KP has always been angry about everything. Extremely unpleasant to go there.

hello questions about first time 90 days report. we got our visas in BKK, but currently we are in phangan and we can obtain TM30 with koh phangan address. In our case, can we report in person at Koh phangan immigration office? thank you in advance for sharing your knowledges about this!

UK National visiting Koh Phangang. About to apply for tourist visa extension. What details do I need to take to immigration office? Thank you

Visa Extension denied at Koh Phangan Immigration.

UPDATE

We went to samui immigration and got the extension in 10 minutes.

We stayed in Thailand from late October 2023 to mid-April 2024, based on visa exemptions, extensions and two border runs during this period. We re-entered Thailand on November 8th, 2024 at BKK Airport, we were questioned and asked for a return ticket. We showed a return ticket for 60 days later. They further told us that we did a visa run with stamping out and in on same day earlier this year and that we should not do this again. (We did this with a visa agency.) Eventually we got stamped in until January 6th. Now, in Koh Phangan, immigration is refusing to extend our visa due to a remark in the immigration system about the return ticket and that we have acknowledged the visa run. They say we must leave. Has anyone else faced this? Can we try Samui or another immigration office? Any advice appreciated.

TM30 - Do you need to print anything or not? in my previous question people said different things. (Koh Phangan)

Besides passport, 1900THB, and photo, anything else is needed? (e-visa copy? previous tm30? etc)

Thank you.

I'm on a 60 day tourist visa on Koh Phangan. Agent I talked to wants 25k for the 90 day Non-O visa. 15k for 1 year extension. So 40k total.

This is with my own 800k baht in my BKK bank account.

(Just to be clear: I have not put the 800k is in the account yet. The quotation from the Koh Phangan agent (40k) assumes 800k of my own money is in the bank account)

Is this a fair deal?

Hey, has anyone recently received a covid extension from Koh Phangan immigration? We have already had one, and looking to apply for our second, before we fly home in May.

We know we need to do it before 25th March.

But just wanted to hear how “generous” Koh Phangan is with their covid extensions? Any tips?!

Thanks in advance 🙏🏻
