Hello, I am kinda worried due to strict entry at airport lately.

I am DTV spouse holder and been in and out country for many times together with my husband. But I am on family vacation and this time I will be entering without him. He is currently not in Thailand as well however he will be back soon.

Has anyone experienced this before like entering without main applicant? I am worried it could cause a problem.

Thank you 🙏

Some recommend being prepared with cash and suggest options for services to ease the entry process.

You should go through quicker than actual DTV holders not much to question you about but I would have the 20k baht people have been claiming they were asked for

The only time I've heard of a spouse having an issue was when they tried to extend at an immigration office inside Thailand and their other half hadn't extended
