Are DTV visa holders eligible for automated gates upon arrival in Thailand?
THIM and TDAC notice
Need a clearer THIM and TDAC explanation? Read the THIM guide on thim.in.th.
Hello everyone, I have a valid DTV and will be returning to BKK in 2 days. I’ve just completed my THIM registration and correctly entered my DTV visa details. The system indicates that I am eligible for the automated gates does this now apply to DTV holders?
Summary so far
The conversation revolves around whether holders of a DTV (Digital Nomad Visa) can use automated gates upon arrival in Bangkok. Users largely agree that automated gates are not accessible to visa holders, emphasizing that entry through these gates may lead to issues, such as not receiving a proper stamp that confirms the duration of stay. It is advised to use the regular immigration booths to avoid potential overstay complications.

No, you are not and you need to go to the booths.

If you use the auto gates you won’t get a stamp in your passport and you’ll be registered only for the maximum visa exempt stay your passport is entitled to.
This may lead to you assuming you were ‘stamped in’ for 180 days but in fact were only given 30 days. That could easily lead to 150 days overstay which would be a very bad thing.
Use the normal channels and get a stamp.

THIM (Thailand Immigration Management) app. It is an option to the TDAC, it issues a TDAC and in future will be used for other immigration tasks such as 90-day reporting, schedule appointments at immigration.Andi ***********
The Auto gates on arrival are not open to visa holders.

Unlikely. This is not for visa holders. But you may ask an IO first before trying and let us know.
