Recently came back on my DTV at BKK airport. No issues, I gave my DTV paper to the immigration officer, no questions nothing asked. Stamped back in for 6 months!

Hi all,

Looking at getting a DTV and returning to Thailand, but I keep hearing immigration is getting stricter.

Currently in Vietnam, Swedish citizen, programmer, have the required finances.

Just left a startup, now between jobs (own a consultancy company, but no invoices for the past year). Multiple visa runs, tourist extensions, one-day overstay. Last entry immigration told me I won’t get in again without a DTV.

Should I expect issues with my background? Anything I should prep for?

Thanks!

Should I reapply for DTVSIA in Jakarta, Indonesia, after being rejected in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam? How long should I wait before reapplying? I don’t know the exact reason for the rejection, but I suspect it may have been due to missing documents. I want to prepare everything properly and try again.

Has anyone been approved at age 21 as a freelance software developer? I think they may not have trusted my income source.

Hi everyone 👋🏻

I already have a DTV - I need to extend it next week (I will have been here for 6 months).

Can anyone please recommend a visa agent in Bangkok who can speed up the process at immigration (in and out of immigration as quick as possible)? I really don’t want to spend all day at immigration if I can help it.

Thanks 🙏🏻

Hey guys, quick question for anyone who applied online through the Thai Embassy in Jakarta:

I’m currently in Bali and planning to submit my DTV application this week.

My Turkish bank only provides a digitally signed bank statement in Turkish.

Can I submit that with an English translation that I prepare myself (not notarized)?

Has anyone done this and got approved by the Jakarta embassy?

Thanks a lot in advance!

Any suggestions on the best countries to apply for the DTV visa from (besides Vietnam)?

If you come by airport but they reject you and have to go back the country you come from.

Do they give you something like a "send back/not allowd to enter the country" stamp in your paspoort?

Dear group members,

I’m a French living in Phuket, currently holding a one-year Non-O Thai Child visa, which is set to expire on August 31st.

My daughter has dual nationality (Thai/French), and I’m now in the process of renewing my visa. However, immigration informed me that they no longer accept bank accounts from Bangkok Bank due to issues related to scams. They’ve asked me to open a new account with a different bank in order to proceed with the renewal.

I’ve visited several banks in Phuket, but so far, all of them have refused to open an account for me with my Non-O Thai Child visa. Some banks also require school enrollment documents (but my daughter is still too young), or they ask for an ED visa—which doesn’t apply, as she is Thai.

I’m a bit confused and honestly feeling stuck, so I’d really appreciate any advice or if anyone has experienced something similar and could share how they managed it.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Best regards,

Clément

Currently on a non-b visa and am due in 4 weeks for 90 day report. Previously lived in bangkok and would do 90 day reports at chaengwattana.

6 weeks ago I moved to phang nga province and the place where I am staying submitted the tm30 at phang nga immigration. Does this mean I can now do my 90 day report at phang nga immigration or will I have to fly back to Bangkok to complete my 90 day report?
