I am a DTV Holder , My DTV, was approved in May 2025, been in and out of thailand so far 3 times with no issues. All through Don Mueng.

I do the Thai Nature seminar, i’ve attended 3 in person and 2 online , No attendance form to fill in was required.

I am going to vietnam in February 2026 and don’t want any issues as my visa is valid until May 2030.

I must now bring 25,000 baht CASH with me , I always print a copy of my visa in A4 inside my passport , along with my TDAC, what else do i need to do?

Thanks in advance. I just want to be prepared! Like we all do!

Is the website system crashed and can't log in now ?

its my first time entering Thailand, my dtv has been approved and I have printed it and have it with my passport. what other documents do I need to have ready to show immigration upon arrival?

Inquiry for DTV visa cancellation process

I’m planning to apply for a Non-Immigrant B visa for work.

Currently, I hold a DTV visa issued by the Thai Embassy in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.

I’ve tried to check the DTV cancellation process:

♦️I asked immigration officers in Chiang Mai, but they said they aren’t fully sure. They told me my DTV will be automatically cancelled when I enter Thailand with a new visa from outside the country.

♦️I also emailed the Phnom Penh Thai Embassy for clarification but haven’t received any reply.

⚠️Recently, I applied for a Non-B visa in Laos, but my application was cancelled (as shown in the screenshot).

They said "my passport bio page image was unclear, even after I re-submitted it in JPEG format.

and in addition you still have DTV and IB visa issued from Thailand Embassy in Phnom Penh.Please contact them to cancel them before you entering Thailand with a new visa. "

Is there anything I can do here in Laos to resolve the DTV visa issue, without needing to travel back to the Thai Embassy in Phnom Penh for cancellation?

But Phnom Penh Thailand embassy hasn’t replied to my emails, and I am currently in Laos.

For context, my visa history is:

1st Non-B → then DTV in cambodia, Phnom Penh→ now applying for Non-B in Laos, Vientiane.

So I’m wondering:

👉 Has anyone experienced the same issue when switching from DTV to Non-B visa?

👉 Is there anything I should prepare or be careful about regarding the DTV cancellation or passport submission before applying my non b visa again ?

Any information or advice would be really appreciated. Thank you! 🙏

Applied for dtv while in New York, soft power must Thai route 1 month course, given 6 month metv instead, didn’t use it, now in Hanoi and want to apply for dtv work action visa as a freelancer. I meet all the requirements but my metv visa doesn’t end until February(August2025 to February 2026) it says my tr visa is valid 06 July 2025 to 01 January 2026

I’m in Hanoi now, can I apply for dtv visa in the meantime while that other metv visa still exists that I didn’t use? Or do I have to wait for it to expire and when is the earliest I can apply then? I will apply in Hanoi. Appreciate any help, thank you so much!

Does anyone have experience getting the Certificate of residence in Bangkok with a condo rental contract before the first 90-day reporting?

I went to Malaysia for 3 days and returned back. DMK airport. The officer only asked me to show my visa after I told him I have a DTV. I showed him the printed copy. Got 6 months entry stamp. No questions asked. Just a smile.

Could anyone advise: I want to sell a bike to an individual and then buy a new one thru the bike shop. Do I need two separate residence certificates? One for selling and another one for buying? Is one not enough- and use a copy?

Would anyone know the agents that could do RC for a reasonable price- especially if I need two.

Thank you 🙏

Seems like jakrata is backlogged. I have seen post here that people are approved in one week and changed my plans to apply from Vietnam to Indonesia (jakrata). Now I am seeing post that people are approved in a week in Vietnam. In bali almost 2 weeks now, the application is not even opened yet, still at initial stage of document check (1)
