Do I need to file a 90-day report if I leave Thailand every 6 months?

No, you only have to do it if you need to deal with an immigration office while you're here.

Is the recent TM30 enough for filing the 90-day report in Thailand?

Steve *******

Most recent is enough. Print that out and take it with you.

Also get 2 copies of your passport data page and stamp page. You only need one, but some offices like making up reasons to send you to the back of the queue.

Oh, and bring a pen. You'll need a pen.

What should I do if I missed my 90-day reporting deadline for my dtv visa in Thailand?

Steve *******

there is no fine when leaving and entering, if you haven't done your 90 day report.

The fine is only enforced if you do the report late, not doing it and leaving has no consequences.

What should I select as my country of residence on the new TDAC form if I’m living in Thailand on a DTV?

Steve *******

Anonymous participant yes, that field has been part of thai visas and immigration ever since I first came here 9 years ago.

Country of residence, as it concerns Thai immigration, is where you're from.

They don't differentiate by where you pay your taxes or where you own a house. They just want you to pick the country your passport is from.

What should I select as my country of residence on the new TDAC form if I’m living in Thailand on a DTV?

Steve *******

You choose the country you're a citizen of, as you're not a permanent resident of Thailand, regardless of how much time you spend in the country on your DTV.

How does the DTV visa process work with an expiring passport?

Steve *******

You don't get a stamp, you get a PDF file with a QR code.

And once your passport expires you carry both the old and new ones until your visa expires.
