Does Your DTV Visa Require 90-Day Reporting? Your Tourist Visa Didn't Mention It.

Your tourist visa clearly stated you must report every 90 days. Your DTV visa document doesn't mention it. You assumed DTV holders got a pass. You are now past 90 days and worried about what happens if you skip the requirement. The silence in the visa rules does not mean the requirement disappears.

Thai immigration applies the 90-day reporting rule to all long-term visa holders, even if the rule is not explicitly printed in the visa booklet. DTV is categorized as a long-stay visa. The consequence of not reporting is a fine up to 5,000 baht, plus additional daily penalties.

How Pim Helps

DTV visa holders must file a 90-day report (TM 47 form) every 90 consecutive days. Your first report must be filed in person at the immigration office where your TM 30 residence notification is registered. You can file between 15 days before and 7 days after your 90-day deadline. The report is free but late filing costs 2,000 to 5,000 baht. Pim can ensure your TM 30 is properly registered, prepare all required documents, file the TM 47 with you, and ensure you stay compliant before penalties apply.
