TLDR : 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.

DTV VISA RESOURCES / SERVICES

Take the basic DTV Qualification Test to see if you're eligible for the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV).
For immediate assistance, contact Thai Visa Centre directly via LINE at @ThaiVisaCentre or Email them.

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.

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

By merely having that visa, no. You plan and pay in advance for fast track.

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.
