You don’t need to do a second 90 day report if you are leaving the country within 180 days. And once again, every time you leave the country, it resets.

But you’re right in one case: DTV users who extend their stay within country could use the online system after their first report.

Most of us have found it easier to leave than do extensions within Thailand.

@Taariq ********

We all feel your pain!

@Taariq ********

Yeah, work, retirement visas and anyone else who can stay 365 days per visa without leaving have the option. We are still tourists.

DTV_Begpacker So, I’ll repeat: From what I understand, we cannot ever do the 90 day report online.

To be able to file the 90-day report online, you must have reported in person or by mail at least once in the past, without having left the country.

But we always have to leave the country within 180 days, so we cannot ever do the 90 day report online.

DTV_Begpacker I don’t understand your comment. Whenever you do it, you have to do it in person.

We can never use online check in on DTV. It only works for people who can physically stay in Thailand a year or more at a time. According to the rules, you can do 90 day check in for your second 90 day report wherein you’ve stayed in country for that time. As we leave every 180 days, that doesn’t work for us.

My DTV specifically mentions in Thai that my passport expires less than 3 years from the date of my visa issuance. So it’s not a problem.

Just be sure to not have your old passport cancelled before you transfer the visa to your new passport.

@Cliff ********

I agrees. The majority of posts ate anonymous and alarmist. This serves no one.

@Peter ********

That’s really interesting. The remark on my DTV, written in Thai, merely notes that my passport will expire before my visa expires. I’m curious why that course of study was written there?

@Peter ********

There is a tendency for people to do this. Pretty sad, honestly.

Tourist numbers are down. DTV, without an agent, is a pretty good way for the government to actually vet people’s finances.

I chose soft power because my passive income situation would have made it a real headache to apply for the visa.

But who cares? I met every requirement provided by the Thai government. Why do these people want to create additional requirements, other than some odd sense that others don’t deserve access to their “dream”?
