From the moment your DTV is approved how soon do you have to enter Thailand?

I'm pretty sure I know the answer to this, but I've been hearing different things from different people...

I have the DTV. I am about to exit for the first time, spend two weeks in another country, and then come back in.

I don't think I need to pay for a multiple-entry permit, correct? Because the DTV already is a multiple-entry visa... Am I mistaken?

The stamp in my passport does not say multiple entry, but just says "DTV" on the stamp.

When I exit the country, will they give me an exit stamp and give me a new entry one?

And do I need to bring anything with me besides my passport?

Thanks in advance!

1. I do not have a permanent address, what do I use if Im visiting another country, Turkiye and applying there? I can give my last one in the USA, which I can verify with an ID, will that work or are they going to ask me to verify my CURRENT address?

Thanks!

Anyone else had this request before?

Just went to the Thai Tax Revenue office about how to pay taxes as a 180 day Thai Tax Resident and I got a Deer in the Headlights look. Literally no one knows the answers to this 😂

DTV Approved ✅

My wife and I applied from Bali at the Jakarta Embassy.

Thanks to all the information found in this group, it all went smoothly.

My wife (British) applied as the main applicant as a remote worker (our business is under her name).

We provided:

* Location: boarding pass, card on arrival, grab receipt from the airport to our Airbnb, Airbnb reservation.

* Finances: 3 months of bank statements (from a Wise account).

* Work: documents about the LLC + 6 months of contracts and invoices showing regular work with multiple clients outside of Thailand.

Applied on October 15th, approved on the 24th.

I (French) then applied as a dependent/spouse.

We provided:

* Location: same, with a newer Gojek receipt from the day I applied.

* Marriage certificate + translation.

* Finances: same bank statements + a letter from my wife stating that the money is for the both of us.

Applied on the 24th, approved on November 4th.

I used ChatGPT to write some things for each section.

Thank you for everyone here for the precious information which made our applications smooth and easy!

hello does anyone know if samui immigration office can convert a tourist visa to non O based on marriage with a non b visa holder?

I have a temporary Thai driving license (valid 2 years)

is it true that it is valid only in Thailand and not in all the other SEA countries like the 5 years license?

I am currently on a Non-Immigrant O spousal with multi re-entry permit all expiring in April '26. I plan to switch to a DTV in December during a trip to the UK.

Do I need to actively cancel my Non-Imm O or does it simply get cancelled when I come back in on my DTV?

If I do need to cancel it how do I go about that?

My passport expires in 2027. Should I renew my passport (10 years validity) then apply for DTV? How much hassle is it to have DTV attached to an old passport? Just have to bring 2 passports every time you enter Thailand?
