Has anyone been successful using DTV and APEC card at the same time to enter?
Answer summary
The discussion revolves around the possibility of using both a DTV visa (Digital Nomad Visa) and an APEC card for entering Thailand. Several users share their experiences, indicating that while some have successfully used both, others faced challenges and were asked to join the regular queue. It appears that experiences may vary by airport and individual circumstances, with some stating that using the APEC card grants access to faster processing, while others report that immigration may not accept the use of both at the same time.

You can use the apec lane flash the card to access the lane and show your dtv. You can still use the apec privilege and hold other visa

Why would you need or want a DTV if you've got the APEC card?
