ORIGINAL POSTER

Hey lovely community members 👋

I run an online business and my account balance meets the DTV requirement - however, I can't leave Thailand for longer than 4 or 5 days.

Quick question: Is it possible to enter a country around Thailand to apply for DTV visa, and leave after a few days - and then once the DTV visa processing is done, come back to that country and go back into Thailand on DTV visa? So 2 quick visits in total.

Thanks in advance for all your feedback folks!

You don't even need to leave her before she starts messaging other guys to meet up as soon as you are gone 🤣

The answers you get here will be exactly the same as the answers you got on the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) group. Remain where you apply until the process completes
