Do I need to do anything before returning to Thailand with my DTV after being back in Canada?
THIM and TDAC notice
Need a clearer THIM and TDAC explanation? Read the THIM guide on thim.in.th.
I'm sure that this has been asked but... I got the tdv last year.. Came back to Canada in April, will return to Thailand end of October. Is there anything that I need to do or am I just good to go?
Answer summary
The user is preparing to return to Thailand with a DTV visa obtained last year and seeks clarification on any requirements before their return in October. Responses indicate that the necessity of any action depends on the reason for the DTV acquisition—if it was for freelance work, they should be fine as long as they have their documentation ready. There's also a note that they need to complete a TDAC (Thai Digital Area Certification) within three days of arrival, along with a reminder to check the official website for official guidelines.

yes, bring all the money you can if you want to go to Pattaya.....

Assuming you meant the DTV, you just need to do a TDAC within 3 days of your arrival.
Todd *********
You are good to go. You have a 5 year visa
Dave ***********
It depends for what reason you acquired your DTV. If soft power, you might need to book another course before you go back to Thailand, if freelance you should be good to go, just have the evidence of freelance work to hand in case the IO asks questions

There are no current checks on people entering that they have courses booked if on Soft Power DTV.Dave ***********
@Greg *******
No, but the Author said left Thailand in April, and plans to return to Thailand in October. That may well raise a question with the IO as to whether the original soft power course is still valid after 6 months out of Thailand. Hence my point he may need to book a new course to prove upon reentryDave ***********
@Greg *******
Yes, exactly my point.Greg ********
@Dave **********
They may well start to check on attendance and ongoing courses in the future. This cannot be predicted with any level of certainty. Currently they are not.Dave ***********
@Greg *******
I think it’s only a matter of time for increased checking on soft power DTV holders. The Visa only became available just over a year ago,It’s better to be prepared than encounter problems on re-entry
