Has anyone experienced airport immigration charging above normal rate for re-entry permits vis a vis local immigration offices, i know there is a small charge for photo and providing forms, but I normally take photo and fill in form before I go and charge is standard for actual re-entry stamp……actual experience rather then heresay please……..

Hey all, is there a time frame you have to enter Thailand once your DTV has been initially been approved?

On the Thai embassy website for the DTV file it asks for the departure date. What should I indicate? 180 days after my arrival or 5 years ?

Hey all, I'm a bit confused with the TM30 and 90 day report thing.

I've been here for about 120 days. My flight landed on 25/10/24.

My agent gave me a TM30, but the informed date is 30/10/24 because I was at a hotel waiting for my condo to be ready.

Okay so to fix this situation, do I take my TM30 to the immigration office to sort this out? Or do I need my TM30 and get the TM47 online and take both to immigration? Or get the TM47 there? And in future after 90 days I can do it online?

Any help would be appreciated!

Hey everyone, I wanted to share my experience and see if anyone can provide an advice or smth..

Unfortunately, I received a rejection email for my DTV visa yesterday from the Thai Embassy in Cairo, Egypt. The reason stated was that I don’t meet the financial requirement of 850K EGP (~500K THB).

However, I had attached:

• A transaction history from my Remotepass account (I work remotely as a consultant through Remotepass).

• My actual work contract (active since August last year)

• An additional bank statement.

Both statements combined exceed 500K THB and are in USD, yet my application was still rejected.

I applied on February 17th and got a response just one day later. I’ve tried reaching out for clarification and to see if anything can be done, no response back.

Has anyone experienced something similar? Any idea why this might have happened or what I can do next?

Would really appreciate it!

Any good dtv agencies that someone’s actually used in Pattaya? Or anywhere really.

Hey everyone! 🌏✈️

I’m planning to apply for the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) and I wanted to get some advice. I’m a freelancer and teach English online to Italian and Spanish students. The company who sends me the money is based in Spain, I'm from UK. I’ve got one invoice as I've only been working as a freelancer for 1 month but it’s not a huge amount. I’m planning to work more hours when I’m in Thailand, so I’ll be earning more then. I can show proof of over 500,000 THB in my bank account.

Do you think this will be enough to get the DTV, do i have to show the specific number within the payslip or is it just a payslip with my name on. Any tips would be super helpful!

Thanks a bunch!

I wanted to share feedback from HCMC.

I decided not to apply for a DTV after reading posts here that it was getting more difficult, and instead applied for a 60day tourist visa which is supposed to take 5 business days to process.

Today (day 10) they sent 4 emails requesting:

1. Proof I was still in the city from the time I submitted my application. They specifically asked for a selfie with a time and date. I bought today’s newspaper and stood in the market and took the photo.

2. Flight bookings to Bangkok from HCM- I bought 2 flights- one for this week and one for next week.

3. Updated hotel invoice with today’s date showing where I was staying in HCM

4. Flight out of Bangkok at the end of my 60day visa.

Thought this may be helpful to anyone applying for any visa type in HCM.

Didn’t get an exit stamp in your passport?

This just happened to me and I didn’t see anyone addressing it so I figured I would.

I went through the digital immigration line at BKK and because of that I didn’t get an exit stamp.

I spoke with an immigration officer and they confirmed it’s all good.

I know it seems obvious but today is my 90th day in the country so I didn’t do a 90 day report and since I plan to enter and exit by motorbike at land borders in the future I just wanted to double check.

Hello, I saw we had to apply for a DTV outside Thailand but I had to come before my Visa was accepted. Is it ok if I submit a Thailand to Malaysia and Malaysia to Thailand ticket return flight ? I want to avoid they say I'm in Thailand when I applied for the Visa and refuse it.

I saw one way ticket was ok and I am hesitating to buy a one way ticket from Malaysia to Thailand instead.

Thx
