Of course! On a DTV that's a normal thing to do. Just do a new TM30 before filing the Tm47.

No. You have to do the first one in person or mail it in. On a DTV, you're bouncing around anyway so you'll only rarely be able to do one online.

I did a TM30 and a few minutes later was at immigration doing my 90 day report. It was quick and easy. Previously, I only ever had an agent do my 90 day reports for me, so this was the first time I've done one myself. It took me 5 minutes. I spent more time parking my car inside immigration and walking towards the building where I had to file my report.

Well, all I know is that the OX is available through some consulates only and that I understand there is a health insurance requirement. Other than that, a 5 year stamp and just the need to make 90 day reports but otherwise having no other interactions with immigration (my understanding is, it's also a multiple entry visa) and considered a long term visa too, is far superior to the DTV, for those aged 50 and over. This is assuming you're able to apply for it, in your home country or another location where it's offered. I understand it is only available to a small number of nationalities such as Australians, Americans and a few western European countries.

The DTV is fine for those with existing Thai bank accounts who come and go every few weeks or months, have businesses abroad and have a need to travel to take care of those companies while spending their time living and working in Thailand remotely (likely being married to Thais).

The 90 day reporting is very easy to do. I did a TM30 and immediately went to immigration with the receipt and handed my passport in for the 90 day report. Noticed there was a 90 day form, but that was after I had already submitted it and the clerk didn't ask me to fill out the form. I was in and out of immigration in less than 5 minutes. Took me longer to park my car inside the immigration parking area.

The OX retirement visa is the best - you get stamped in for 5 years and have many more advantages over a DTV holder, who is simply a long stay tourist who receives almost no advantages over a visa exempt visitor.

It sucks but it is what it is. As long as they don't mandate vaccines all is good.

@Paul ********

Absolute nonsense. You can fill out that form after arrival or borrow a pen. Geez..

This is the museum where back in late 2023, they were charging foreigners less than Thais if you booked via Klook. No need to show anything to the officials on duty at the time, other than your Klook booking.

@Felipe ********

Err....no, your reading comprehension needs work. I am telling you that it doesn't matter how many times you've entered Thailand, questioning is always possible.

In fact, it's MORE likely if you have a history of travel to Thailand.
