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.

Nope, I tried it. Took about 20 minutes until they found somebody brave enough to make a decission, but declined eventually πŸ˜‚

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

This is ( DTV ) = Destination Thailand Visa

It is Not D= Diplomatic T= Thailand V= Visa

Wake up of the dream
Cliff *********
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.

@Cliff ********
what other tourist visa give you more then 90 days?

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

Anyone can do fast track just pay for it not expensive but if you have bags at carousel you have to wait anyway. What's your rush ?? 🀣🀣

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
Kagutsuchi *******
@Andy ***********
actually there is and it’s for everyone but you have to pay for it. Makes everything quick and easy for $60
Andy ************
@Kagutsuchi ******
There's no fast track for DTV specifically

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 stop

You can pay for safe entry via an agency if you're worried about being questioned. πŸ‘
Andy ************
@Peter ********
Possibly. I don't know if the agents are taking on DTV initial entries but worth a try
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
