ORIGINAL POSTERHello, 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 🙏

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user expresses concern about entering Thailand on a DTV spouse visa without her husband, who is currently outside the country. Comments from the community provide reassurance, suggesting that she should have no issues entering as a visa holder, and experiences shared indicate that problems typically arise only when extending visas within Thailand. 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

You will be fine. I think you are overthinking, but it is understandable with so much misinformation about.

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
