There is this thing called the internet

@Ken **********

I have to do 1 year reporting. I don’t make the rules.

@Ken **********

In my case I have an LTR so no 90 day reports.

@Ken **********

Yes I see that. There is just no accounting for people’s reading comprehension skills . . . is there

@Ken **********

It is written, in English, at the top of the TM47 form exactly what it is.

@Elías *******

Sorry I don’t remember. I have an LTR and the Board of Investment office did it all for me. If there is a fee it will be small.

@Bastien *******

Yes. I sent my passport to the US embassy and they sent me my old and new passport to me about 4 weeks later. They punch holes in the old passport.

You can do it at your local immigration office in Thailand. Get your new passport. Bring the old and new passports to Thai Immigration.

You can transfer your visa to your new passport. I did this earlier this year.

I just looked at the Los Angeles Thai consulate website for visa information. Early in the website they have a notice to foreigners that they have to report to immigration every 90 days. This informational notice makes no reference to visa types. It applies to all foreigners.

Later under the LTR visa, in addition to to requirements for the various types of LTR visa, they also post the BOI graphic specifically mentioning that 90 day reporting has been extended to 1 year reporting for LTR visa holders.

No other visa type, including O, OA, and DTV has any mention of modification of the 90 day reporting requirement.

The website tells you that you have to do 90 day reports. That requirement applies to every visa type (including the DTV) except the LTR where the adjustment is specifically mentioned.

Unless you can show a consulate website that says otherwise or something printed in the Royal Gazette that says otherwise then you can safely assume that DTV holders have to do 90 day reports. The first report has to be done in person.

The good news is that if you fail to do your 90 day report and get caught then you are only going to pay a 2,000 baht fine. They are not going to take your visa away or deport you.
