It's official. The DTV worked.

The immigration officer was smiling and giggling when he saw my DTV.

He said they are rare to see.

He said enjoy the 180 days 😁

Thanks for everyone's help in this group. I'm a happy DTV'er!

Hi,

Please advise me.

I am currently in Bangkok on a tourist visa, and I need to apply for a DTV for both myself and my wife.

Where is the best place for us to apply together—Laos or Vietnam?

Since Vietnam have e-visa portal, can I start the DTV application process from Thailand while on an e-visa?

Thank you.

For all people entering with a DTV: double check the IO stamps the correct dates!

I just realized my DTV was stamped in for only 5 months instead of 180 days 🤦‍♂️

I entered via land border and i’m now very far away from there. TBH i’m not even planning to stay the full 5 months.

Should i even try to get it fixed at the nearest immigration office?

In fact, my calculation says it’s only 149 days. This already includes the start and end dates.

Start date: October 7, 2024

End date: March 4, 2025

UPDATE JAN 2025: Got my visa stamp fixed at my local Chiang Mai immigration office while doing 90 day report.

I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good visa agency for retirement visa ? I will be returning to Benchalak in 6 weeks and would like to start the process. Was going to try to open Bank account in kantharlak myself , but I’m hearing it’s hard to do. TIA

For info - travelled on 90 day Non o visa issued by London Thai embassy - LHR to BKK via Eva Air 12/10/24 my ticket had return date of 24/3/25 (163 days)

In LHR Eva didn't ask to see visa, boarded with no issues. In BKK passport stamped with 90 day and no questions asked about 163 day return date. (Was ready to explain I was applying for Marriage Visa in Dec for 12 month)

Just my experience.

Regarding the recent Tourist visa (usa passport) Thai law recently changed from 30 days to 60 days plus additional 30 days .. total 90 days.

I got the 60 days at airport recently question is can I go to local chiang mai immigration office to request the additional 30 days? Thank you

Anyone have any data on getting a visa for America or the UK and which one might be easier to get? 

Visa extension question please? Did a search but couldn't find up to date information. From the UK.

We will be entering Thailand on a 60 day VOA and want to extend it by 30 days. We will be in Ao Nang at this point and my question is how far in advance should I plan to go to the immigration office, what documents do I require to take with me and how long does it take to action? Will I have to return to Krabi town or is it issued on the same day of applying?

Thanks in advance for all help offered🙏

Hi

Regarding sufficient funds for travelling in Thailand with DTV .

If I have savings which are not in a bank account , but liquid.

Do they acknowledge that?

Does anyone have any updates regarding the launch of the proposed ETA, I read that it was postponed until further notice & not going to be implemented in December as initially announced
