Can I skip immigration queues at Bangkok airport with a DTV visa?
hey guys, with a DTV, can I skip or fast track any kind of immigration queues at Bkk airport? thanks
Answer summary
The Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) does not allow for fast tracking immigration queues at Bangkok airport. Although anyone can purchase fast track services, DTV holders are often questioned, which can delay the process. The consensus among commenters suggests that while fast track may save time, it may not be significant if you have luggage to claim. Overall, the DTV visa does not provide any special privileges for fast tracking through immigration.

I believe there was a short period of time that you could, but no longer. It’s not really that much faster though if you have luggage to pick up.

Yes. Don’t even stop when the immigration calls you. Straight to baggage claim.

Of course not.
And you do need to do 90 day reports just like any other tourist visa.
And it won’t get you a Thai bank account either.

Keep dreaming... Most of visa holders need to queue and DTV is the cheapest visa available. You can pay for it.

Fast track is a waste of money.....it might save you 10-15 minutes in immigration but then add 10-15 minutes waiting for your bags.

There's no fast track for DTV as many are pulled aside and questioned, so it would slow down the fast track lane

Possibly. I don't know if the agents are taking on DTV initial entries but worth a try

You can pay for safe entry via an agency if you're worried about being questioned. 👍Andy ************
@Bobby ******
I've no idea of the percentage. A moment ago you said "don't believe this". I've seen countless number of reports in this group and in others. Whether it's a low percentage of high percentage it can happen. Full stopBobby *******
@Andy ***********
what percentage is this ? How do you know this boy? Stop with the scare tactics
Wannikea *********
By merely having that visa, no. You plan and pay in advance for fast track.
Greg ********
If you pay for Fast Track you can use it. Fly First or Business will do it too. Some BOI Visas get it too. DTV is a tourist visa.
Pete *******
No
