Can someone please direct me to the website for 90 day report? Can the first one be done online or need to be in person? I can’t seem to find it online unfortunately.
On another note, does the TM30 need to be done every single time by my landlord when I leave Thailand and come back from any overseas trip?
Hi, do I need to do 90 day reporting for DTV if I have already left the country and came back within the past 180 days?
I got my dtv about 70 days ago, and recently left Thailand and came back. Do I need to go to immigration to do 90 day reporting soon or did it already reset since I left the country recently?
Hey all, I'm a bit confused with the TM30 and 90 day report thing.
I've been here for about 120 days. My flight landed on 25/10/24.
My agent gave me a TM30, but the informed date is 30/10/24 because I was at a hotel waiting for my condo to be ready.
Okay so to fix this situation, do I take my TM30 to the immigration office to sort this out? Or do I need my TM30 and get the TM47 online and take both to immigration? Or get the TM47 there? And in future after 90 days I can do it online?
Hello, I saw we had to apply for a DTV outside Thailand but I had to come before my Visa was accepted. Is it ok if I submit a Thailand to Malaysia and Malaysia to Thailand ticket return flight ? I want to avoid they say I'm in Thailand when I applied for the Visa and refuse it.
I saw one way ticket was ok and I am hesitating to buy a one way ticket from Malaysia to Thailand instead.
I am currently travelling SEA since March 2024 and have spent most of my time in Thailand. It must have been 8 Months in total already. Last time I entered Thailand via plane, I was pulled out at immigration and was questioned, why I want to enter Thailand again. I am currently in Laos and plan to stay for 30 days - I arrived 3 days ago and plan to go back to Thailand, before going back home to Germany. Now I am quite concerned that my entry will be denied.
What is my best bet? Would a tourist Visa help in this case? I already tried to apply, but I seem to need a permanent address in Laos?! Could someone please help me understand?
Hi. In the next few weeks my DTV is reaching 180 days. Since I don't want to go through IO I either plan a flight out or using a border run agency. What is the better/safer option to do it? I didn't find any information on DTV land border bounces so far.
One of the questions on the application is whether a person has previously applied for a visa in Thailand.  if the previous application was under a different first name, with a different gender marker on the passport, what should the answer be?
