Hey Everyone,

I applied for DTV a few weeks ago (Thai Embassy Munich) and haven’t received it yet.

I am arriving in Thailand tomorrow!

Which is not a problem for now, since I am just staying for 70 Days and can just use tourist visa + go to immigration for extension after 60 days

(Or maybe get an agency, who does this for me?)

BUT do you know if my DTV application is terminated, when I travel to Thailand without it? Because in the application they asked for my flight and day of arrival😬

That would be very sad to just spend the money for nothing

Thanks for your help!

Has anyone used Instarem as a means of transferring funds into Thailand. It appears that they have a better exchange rate than Wise but would like to hear if anyone has experienced any problems or a good experience with this company

Just returned to Phuket airport after 1 week holiday to Japan on DTV visa…(UK citizen)

It’s about my 5th re entry

The only thing which changed this time, is that they asked to see the actual Visa on my phone with QR code

No asking of funds or anything like that or more questions this time….

Hello everyone,

Could you please tell me if a Re-entry can be done at IT Laksi and what the requirements are? I’ve tried to find more information but couldn’t.

Also, could you please let me know what documents are required for the cancellation of an ED Plus visa, apart from copies of the passport and the letter from the university?

Thank you in advance!

Is flying into Chiang Mai really a problem for DTV (Workcation)?

I need to re-enter and want to holiday in Chiang Mai with my Thai girlfriend afterwards, but ideally I'd just meet her there rather than taking her to Vietnam with me. I really don't want to fly back to BKK to catch another flight.

I just did my first 90 day report in Ubon Ratchathani and I was completed in 5 minutes. I handed my completed TM47 and passport to first desk, they told me to go to the next officers desk. They checked passport and stamped a receipt for 90 days. There was NO CHARGE for this. I took a heap of documents with me but didn’t require anything else.

Ubon Ratchathani Immigration is the best. They made this very simple.

Hey everyone. I started saving toward the 500,000 THB requirement for the DTV visa last month, but I had to dip into it after my dog went missing for a few days. Thankfully, he was found safe, but I was abroad at the time, so the situation became unexpectedly expensive.

I am still relocating to Thailand with my remote work, but I will not have the full 500,000 THB until January, and from what I understand, the funds need to be maintained for 3 months+.

As a US citizen, my plan is to enter Bangkok on a tourist visa first. I originally planned to leave in February to apply for the DTV visa in Indonesia, but I am now considering extending my stay instead due to the timing of reaching the 500,000 THB. Based on my understanding, I can extend a 60 day tourist visa by 30 days, but would that reduce my chances of DTV approval later?

Would appreciate any suggestions. I know the process is becoming stricter, and I want to maximize my chances, especially since traveling means placing my dog in a hotel while I am abroad. Thank you!
