I’ve been following this group for a while. It has helped me.

I want to share one idea/observation. Look - there are 1) a lot of people who ask questions, 2) quite a few people who share their struggles, 3) and some people who share their successes. On this group and elsewhere online.

My belief is that there are also x times more people who just apply for the visa and get it. Easy. No problems. No questions asked.

Remember this.

Just because you are here, in this environment where most ask and seemingly struggle, it doesn’t mean that it will be a struggle for you.

The rules are extremely simple.

If you have money and work or a course, you get the visa. That’s it.

Just because someone with 3 deportations, 45 overstays and 99 stamps has problems doesn’t mean that you will have any problems.

Hi, my DTV application has been pending for about two weeks and I need to fly next Monday.

I just wanted to check if entering Thailand before the DTV is approved would affect my application. If I travel in first, would I still be able to return to Singapore and re-enter Thailand again once the DTV is approved?

Applying from Singapore embassy.

Thanks in advance for your advice.

27 9am : Just got result today. Rejected. Can go 🇹🇭 without regrets 😁.

Quick question with the dtv do you need to have an income ? Why if your quitting work and have plenty money to last you the 5 years . Or is it better to have an income coming in ?

Hello everyone!

I flew out of the country a week ago via BKK Airport. My DTV stamp is valid until March 2026. However, they did not stamp my passport with a departure seal.

I contacted the consulate here, but they didn’t have any useful information. I emailed Immigration (saraban_imm@police.go.th) on the 24th, but of course I haven’t received a reply yet due to Christmas.

Just curious, has anyone else experienced leaving the country without receiving a departure stamp at the airport?

Have the best holdidays!

For those who work as freelance, what business registration do you use? I have a client I work often with and thinking about using that? But it's not monthly payments but project based.

I want do a visa run to laos using fb4 chiang khong->huay xai. I'm going to drive my scooter from chiang Mai to the border. I've gotten conflicting information about if you can re-enter immediately or need to stay 1 or 2 nights, so I'm not sure if I should bring my scooter across. I'm on a muay thai soft power dtv, this will be my second entry. Will I be asked for supporting paperwork? Proof of ongoing classes? Proof of funds? Any and all advice is a appreciated if you've done a similar trip recently.

Thanks in advance!

So I always play by the rules. Dream is a DTV as so much less hassle for my trips. From UK.

Finally got all requirements to apply for DTV. Will do so in London for visit in late March. Ready to apply .

Problem? I’m in Thailand now until mid Jan.

need I wait until I return or if I apply online now will that be dodgy? Noticed?

Only reason to hurry is I maybe changing uk address.

Any thoughts?
