Hi everyone. I applied for a DTV in Cambodia and received it while I was in Thailand. I need to fly out to get a stamp in my passport (I have seven border runs). Question: should I buy a green channel, or can I easily go through customs and get a DTV stamp in my passport? Has anyone else had any problems with this?

Hi, I have a DTV. Am I right in thinking that I still have to do a 90 day report? Would I do this at immigration or online?

Also can I enter and leave the country whenever I like with no reporting process within the 5 years as long as I’m not in for more than 180 days consecutively.

Thanks in advance.

Hola everyone. This group helped me so much with their very helpful informations. I wanna thank for it.

My question is:

I applied DTV with my visa agency in Phnom Penh.

I'm Turkish citizen and it's been 55 days.

I only have request and reference number from screenshot that agency sent me. (thaievisa.go.th)

Is there anything I should do that maybe speeds up the process?

This thing chasing me on night for weeks.

Thank you all...

Hi, with the new rules coming in this week, I’m not sure how it’s going to impact my future plans. So in the next 1-2 years, I was to get a visa to stay long term. So I guess I have 2 options, 1)arrive and get a 2 monthVOA, and then work with an agent when I’m here to get my LTV, or should I arrange it all when I’m back in UK? Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated

Hi all, I’m looking to apply for a DTV Visa and my Mother is looking for a Retirement Visa. We have used an Agency that have been less than helpful, which has led both of us to lose our first applications due to admin errors (we have the required finances, and other paperwork etc respective to what we are applying for).

Can anyone recommend a more reliable agency to support our applications, please?

I know we could submit ourselves but a trusted partner would help ease our minds whilst things are a little up in the air.

Thank you in advance

Just flew in to BKK. My Non -O had not been processed in time. All the IO did was check that I flew in from my home country. Gave me the 60 days and told me to apply earlier. I have had multiple entries this year including a border bounce. Her supervisor saw the Thai children birth certificates in my hand and told her to let me in. Legitimate reason doesn't seem to cause a problem.

Hi Everyone! This is my first post and have been reading others and researching online for the answer, but I wanted to confirm with the group on my upcoming trip.

I’m planning a trip to Thailand and planning on staying 75 days (I have an exit flight booked). I understand that I can stay 60 days without applying for a visa, but I need the extension to complete my trip.

I’ve read that you apply for the extension when you arrive (I can’t apply for extension in advance 😔), so my question is, will I do this at the airport knowing my departure fight or do I have to wait until it is close to expiration and go to an immigration office? Or would I have to do a border run? I would want to avoid the later.
