Hey everyone,

for those who were successful in getting a DTV for dental treatment, at which consulate did you apply and with which clinic?

I would like to get Invisalign done in Bangkok and I read that some people have gotten a DTV for it at certain consulates, but that at other consulates people have been rejected saying dental treatments don't count as medical treatment.

My alternative would be to just enter on a tourist visa or visa exempt, though I have been in Thailand ~4-5 months (on tourist visas and visa exempt stamps) every calendar year from 2021 to 2023 and I am worried about being denied entry the next time I fly to Bangkok (haven't been in Thailand for ~1.5 years now).

Is there a way to save your TDAC info for re-use? For regular re-entry its quite cumbersome to complete the whole form every time

I have obtained DTV in last year. My visa is sticker visa type. Now my passport is going to expire in coming December thus I would play new passport in my resident country. How do I transfer my dtv visa to New passport? TIA.

Hi everyone! I’m on the DTV visa (Workation category) and have a couple of quick questions about the new Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC):

1. For “Country/Territory of Residence”, should I select Thailand if I rent an apartment here and live in Thailand full-time (no residence anywhere else)? Or should I still put my passport country?

2. For “Purpose of Travel”, is it best to select “Holiday”, since we don’t have a Thai work permit? Or is there a better option for DTV visa holders?

Have any of you entered Thailand after the TDAC was implemented while holding a DTV visa, and what did you do? If you have something else to recommend, please do let me know. Thanks in advance for any advice!

Hi. Sorry not really visa advice , but sort of connected.

What's people's views or recommendations really on health insurance providers. 65 nearly. Had some past issues but don't mind excluding that as just at the stage of keeping an eye on things as hopefully fully cured. Don't mind a policy with excess etc but just would like some genuine advice from people with current genuine experience in this matter. Don't really want to be clicking on random website ads.

Many thanks for any suggestions.

Have a nice afternoon all.

More of a nervous post. I'm going tomorrow for my non O marriage under consideration stamp. I've never heard of it and I've never been denied before. But what if it is denied? Do you just refile the paperwork? Or have to do a border run?

Someone told me they don't deny these for the marriage visas. Unless it's like a blatantly fake marriage or something.

Hi everyone, I’m planning to apply for a DTV in Laos, but some people said that to get the visa, you need to have at least 500,000 baht in your bank account for at least 3 months. Is that right?

I was wondering how much the new immigration law affects DTV visa holders.

Is there anything we should be aware of, and if so, when should we proceed?

If this topic has already been discussed, please feel free to point me to the relevant post.

Thanks in advance!

I am applying from Vietnam and I was asked to translate my documents. I went to 2 translations office and they both told me very high prices (115€ for what I need). But the guy that I talked to told me it’s very common for this type of demand that I translate the document myself and they just put their stamp on it. I’m a bit scared, what do you guys think ?
