How long does it take to do a 90-day report at Bangkok Chaeng Wattana immigration without an appointment?

I see people go there very early but the earliest i can get there is around 9am, since I need to send my son to school

Thanks!

I have received my first TDAC for my arrival this week.

Question.

Do the airport IMO request to see it, I have it on my phone not a print out ?

Just to be prepared.

I'm trying to get to Thailand on the DTV but I'm having issues finding somewhere reputable for me to take a soft power course. Any help?

Just FYI to Americans in the Northeast, the NYC consulate appears to be very backed up with visa applications so I'd strongly recommend applying early and triple checking things before clicking submit. I applied for a 90 day non 0 retirement visa on September 15 and was finally approved *today while literally on the plane to Thailand.* The immigration officer accepted the PDF version of it on my phone as I had nowhere to print it out.

Would have been pretty funny if I hadn't checked my email upon landing.

Just a simple question: I have the DTV visa; do I need an ETA and DTAC? Can I apply for them 3 weeks before departure?

Was fined 2K THB today for missing 90 day reporting by a one day. Lets say I arrived on the 1st, I thought 1 day in Thailand would be on the 2nd. But the first day is included. It ran late due to a family emergency over the past few weeks. Immigration were very rude.

I'm wondering if this is a big deal to have this fine in my passport going forward. I have a DTV.

Hi everyone I plan to apply for my visa in Ho Chi Minh City on Monday November 10 but I’m hearing the wait is long right now so I’m considering Hanoi instead If you’re in Vietnam which city is faster these days and any recent wait times or tips

Hello, I am applying as a freelance for workcation category of DTV in Laos. I hold an ASEAN passport and I also got my visa on arrival which allows me to stay in Laos on for 1 month. I was wondering if I could get some sample interview questions so that I could practice it ahead of time. Thank you very muchh.

Applied for DTV via soft power in Bali through Jakarta Thai embassy and was asked for additional documents of my current AND previous passport pages.

I don’t have my previous passport anymore…

What should I do?
