Can I travel to Kuala Lumpur for 4 days with my DTV visa and what documents do I need for re-entry?

Feb 1, 2026

Hi there!

Quick question: I’m about to leave the country for the first time since I entered with my DTV 6 months ago. I’m planning to go to Kuala Lumpur for 4 days from Krabi and then come back, is that okay?

Also, do I just need my DTV e-visa printed to show at immigration when I return, or should I prepare any additional documents?

Is there anything else I should know? Thanks!

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user inquired about the implications of leaving Thailand on a DTV visa and returning after a short trip to Kuala Lumpur. Comments indicate that it is generally fine to exit and re-enter Thailand with this visa, but they should have the DTV e-visa available, preferably printed or on their phone. Additionally, it was advised to ensure the immigration officer is aware of their visa type, as some may not access the necessary information electronically. Users also mentioned the need for a TDAC document upon reentry.
Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC)

WARNING: Only trust Thai government websites with .go.th domains or Thai agent websites with .co.th or .in.th domains, as these require verified Thai registration and cannot be registered anonymously.

The official TDAC form is available at tdac.immigration.go.th, which uses the official .go.th government domain.

The services by AGENTS CO., LTD. does NOT charge any fees for arrivals within 72 hours. If you need to book more than 72 hours in advance, there is a service fee of $8.

Do not trust other sites pretending to be a trustworthy agency. Pay attention to delivery time - the service operated by AGENTS CO., LTD. has 1 minute delivery time for arrivals within 72 hours.

Don't fall for sites pretending to be agents.co.th or the official government tdac.immigration.go.th website. Always double-check the exact domain in your browser.

Scam services may take days to process your application, others may not even do anything. With these TDAC scam services you also need to worry about double charges.

Please watch out for TDAC misinformation spread by fugitive Jesse Nickles and his many fake accounts on Quora, TripAdvisor, Reddit, and other platforms.

Make sure the IO knows you have a DTV as some of them don't read the screen
