I never disputed it. What I'm saying is that those are not temporary stay permits. The DTV is which is why it falls under the immigration act.

The embassy / consulate is never going to tell you about doing 90 day reporting as this is from a separate entity : immigration. When you get a visa, you don't get told by someone to do 90 day reporting if you stay 90 days or more because not everyone stays 90 days. Its just knowledge that you need to be aware of. I learned about it from my landlord because as soon as I rented she had to do a TM30 for the reporting. I agree that it would be nice to be told but not being told or claiming ignorance of the rule is not an excuse for not abiding by it.

Maybe its like getting a driving license and saying "well no one told me I couldn't drive through a stop light" lol, maybe a bad analogy but kinda similar.

@Greg *******

read the law. It states this "The Immigration Act,B.E.2522,the foreigner who has received a temporary stay permit and stayed in the Kingdom of Thailand over 90 days must notify his/her residence to immigration officer every 90 days.". So, I don't know BOI and LTR - but they might not be considered temporary stay permits, but the DTV most definitely is a temporary stay permit since its a 180 day permit. Assume you need to do reporting because of this.

You can get a 12 month lease if you have the money. Some landlords will ask what you do and might ask for a work contract or proof of visa, but that hasn't happened to me.

Anonymous participant I haven't done it yet so I don't know how you can contact them. They have an email address, but you could try and go back and see if you can get an answer. I have not heard anyone waiting more than 2 days, in HCMC - they are very clear that it takes 2 days.

@Simon ***********

It's the law dude. If you stay in THailand more than 90 days you report.

@Paulie *******

of course you do. Every one has to do a 90 day report if you live in Thailand, under all visas.

@Gary ******

This sounds great but I would be careful about saying that you can make a freelance income. The individual on a DTV cannot work in Thailand and make money from Thai sources. Im assuming they wouldn't be making money from your facilities from a Thai company? If its making money under their own name they would need to make sure that the income is not coming from Thailand.

@Otik ****

can you give more details instead of not eligible, what makes you not eligible if you work online?

You can ask them directly but most people have said 2 days
