I have my DTV visa since 1 April 2025. I travelled to Ho Chi Minh on 30 April 2025, and returned to Bangkok on 3 May 2025. The immigration officer never enquired about my DTV visa and it only took one minute to obtain my 180-day stamp.

Hey …. So since this bank has a location in Los Angeles… I should just open an account while here and then move to Thailand since the main branches are out there. I can imagine this would be the easiest way to get a Thai account..? Anyone try this before ?

Hey, can you guys share your experience of entering on dtv? Just saw in a dtv group there have been instances of unwanted srutinization while entering on the dtv? Someone said they were asked to show all the docs, they used while applying. This would be very inconvenient given some of us applied physically and don't have all the docs handy.
