Depends where you apply I believe, some Embassies, consulates only want to see it in the applicants account, not bothered where it comes from. I've read other comments that say different, but with it being fairly new, it's open to opinions.
Agents need to earn a living and if it's convenient for some, I don't understand why some Farangs seem to make such a big issue about anyone wanting to use an agent. U2T
Whose desperate? If I was in Thailand it wouldn't bother me doing a 90 day report. One thing for sure, when I do go back to stay in Thailand, I won't be on Sadbook all day looking for something to occupy my time. Have you ever been referred to as a synic? Well first time for everything. Happy Sadbook days 2 u
I get the impression that most of the people commenting on this subject are probably on either 'O' or 'O-A' visas that require 90 day reporting. There's comments here saying that anyone staying more than ninety days needs to do a report, doesn't matter what visa you have unless it's an LTR. So none of the immigration experts on here have no proof unless they actually get it confirmed by an IO., that you do have to do a ninety day report if your in Thailand on a DTV visa.All comments are probably based on assumptions.
So my wife called the London embassy for me and spoke to several people there about 90 day reporting. Their understanding is that DTV does *NOT* require 90 day reports and a visit to Immigration office is only required for extension. Obviously they are not Thai Immigration dept but I thought I would report it anyway. OK., Embassies and immigration have their own take on things, but it is understandable why people are asking.
Not irrelevant, if they issue visas that give you longer than 90 days in Thailand, then it should be stated in the application that you have to report every ninety days. If they give you a visa(DTV) that lets you stay in Thailand initially for ,180 days, then they should inform you when you apply that you have to report on day ninety.
