If am not mistaken, 60 days visa exemption started last July 2024 🙏

When transitioning from a Non-Immigrant O visa to DTV, you effectively need to ensure that you're not holding two active visas simultaneously, which means you might need to cancel or let your current visa expire before applying for the DTV. Some experiences suggest that entering Thailand on the new visa could automatically cancel or deactivate the previous one, especially if no re-entry permit is attached to the old visa. However, for clarity and to avoid any administrative hiccups, it's recommended to either formally cancel your existing visa or confirm with Thai immigration or an embassy that your visa status is clear before proceeding with the DTV application. Remember, consulting with a legal expert is advisable for personalized advice. 🙏

The official guideline for the DTV application process typically advises that applicants should remain in the country where they submitted their application until approval. This is because, during the application process, additional documentation might be requested, or you might need to attend an interview at the embassy or consulate. 🙏

Your best bet is to consult directly with Thai immigration or an immigration lawyer. They can provide you with advice tailored to your specific circumstances, especially regarding your residence status and how it might affect your eligibility or the necessity of switching from your Non-O visa to a DTV. 🙏

The 90-day reporting requirement in Thailand is indeed a mandatory regulation for all foreigners residing in the country, including those on a DTV.

Why It Might Not Be Enforced at Borders: Immigration at borders primarily checks for visa validity upon entry and exit. The 90-day report is an internal process to keep track of where foreigners are residing in Thailand. Therefore, unless you're renewing your visa or interacting with immigration for other reasons, this might not come up.

Consequences: If you need to interact with immigration for any reason (like visa extensions, changing visa status, or even if there's a future crackdown on non-compliance), not having your 90-day reports up to date can cause issues.

Action to Take: Even if it feels like it's only enforced online, it's safer to comply. You can report in person at an Immigration Office, or after the first in-person report, you can often do subsequent reports online or through mail.

Community Awareness: The online community, including forums like this often highlights these requirements because they've experienced or heard of others facing consequences for non-compliance, even if sporadically enforced.

Remember, just because something isn't strictly enforced doesn't mean it's not required by law. Compliance helps avoid potential future complications. 🙏

As a holder of the DTV, you are generally eligible to claim a VAT refund under the same conditions as other tourists.

Holding a DTV does not inherently disqualify you from a VAT refund; the key factor is being a tourist without a domicile in Thailand. This means you should not have a habitual occupation in Thailand, nor should your name be on any house registration or central house registration in Thailand.

You must be departing from an international airport in Thailand to claim your VAT refund.

Goods must be purchased from shops displaying the "VAT Refund for Tourists" sign, and you need to have the goods with you when leaving Thailand within 60 days of purchase.
