Do I need to submit a hotel booking for my DTV visa application in Thailand if I'm temporarily staying in a hotel while searching for a condo?

Biff *******

It depends on which embassy you’re using. Malaysia typically wants confirmed and paid for accommodation for the entire length of your trip. Others are ok with a few days hotel booking.

You can outline your accommodation plans in your cover letter as well.

What should I put as my country of residence when returning to Thailand with a DTV visa after my border bounce?

Biff *******

Honestly, it doesn’t really matter. It’s just an arrival card. Don’t sweat it.

Do I need to do the TM30 every time I return to my long-term residency in Thailand after short travels within the country?

Biff *******

the reality is, as you should perhaps know being a ‘group expert’ that the person who has problems regarding the TM30 is not the landlord or property owner but the foreign tenant themselves.

Also, how is a landlord supposed to know that their tenant has gone away for the weekend?

What should I do about the 90-day reporting requirement for my DTV visa if I'm out of Thailand?

Biff *******

The report is to notify immigration that you have spent 90 consecutive days in Thailand. If you’re not there, then obviously you can’t report that you are. Because you’re not.

Possibly better to fly international to Bangkok and domestic to Chiang Mai. They seem to like to question people at that airport
