ORIGINAL POSTERI applied in KL after I got deported while trying to enter again in tourist visa.
I have everything they asked for but no 6 month rent contract, since I’m not in the country.
I have more than enough funds and retourning salary of 100k baht + per month.
Any advise how I can proof the rental contract without entering the country?

If you are not sure, I think you should go to an embassy that does not require the lease contract. Like Jakarta just next to you.

You have to stay in the country, where you applied for DTV, until it is granted or rejected.

ORIGINAL POSTERSo I try to enter on tourist visa, after a visa run, but I did this often in the last 2 years. But never overstayed or something.
They even put me in the airport jail it was crazy, great me like a criminal, meanwhile I’m actually a professional from Germany, with no sort of crime history.
Forced me to go back to Malaysia and even they don’t want to let me in and nearly forced me to buy a ticket back to Germany.
It took me a lot of discuss and proves to let me in.
I don’t know what happened, why they treat me so hard.
On my entery stamp in Malaysia is sayd above: deported

they considered you have been abusing the system of visa exemption. But normally the last times you tried to enter they already warned you, didn’t they? I think it should be ok if you enter with DTV and it should not impact your capacity to apply for it.

ORIGINAL POSTERMalaysia right

Is it your Malaysia stamp or your Thailand stamp that says “deported”

You don’t need a rental contract …

@Andrew *******
I never seen a requirement to have a rental agreement in Thailand. You are in another country when you apply got DTV. You get your accomodation when your approved and enter. Just submit without if they ask later book a nightAndi ***********
@David *******
Malaysia and Japan requires rental agreements in Thailand. Vast majority of embassies do not require it. Malaysia requires 6 months.Reply to

I had a similar situation, denied entry and ‘deported’. Didn’t have any issue getting a DTV or getting into Thailand after I recieved my visa, hope that helps. Also you may be able to book a hotel for proof of stay and mention you will find long term accommodation once you have arrived

You didn't get deported 🙁
To be deported you have to have been stamped IN to thailand
You didn't even get IN to thailand so all you got was denied entry
Sounds like you just were trying to milk another 60 day free entry on the visa exempt program and they wouldn't let you in.
Happens to THOUSANDS of people per week.
Doesn't affect you getting a visa.
Make a hotel booking for 6 months and after the visa is approved cancel it
it's not salary it's 500K baht or the equivalent in a bank account for proof of funds

@Tod ********
can you really make a hotel booking for 6 months? Most booking platforms I know will set a limit of two months. He could however split 6 months up between three different hotels, each fro 2 monthsReply to

Why Malaysia. There are other places that do not require a rental contract in Thailand. Hope that there are no immigration System remarks on your record. Might attract attention

You didn't get deported, but most likely where denied entry. It's not the same. As for that requirement, it's well known that's asked for DTV applications in Malaysia, so you need to either comply with it if applying there, or else apply at other country, not Malaysia.

Did you actually get deported or refused entry?

There were many posts about Rental or address in Thailand. Try this keyword in search box ‘rent’ or ‘rental’. Make sure to know why you were denied for entry on tourist visa, that might be an issue to get rejected even with DTV.

You got deported from thailand once?

@Cole ********
what would you call it if he flew in, thinking that would be different, and was denied entry? Wouldn't he also be deported, as he can't stay in the airport?Elías ********
@Kool ******
is it different here? in most countries you can stay unlimitedly on the airborne side of the airport, if denied entry.Reply to

Yeah. That is how I read it. He might now have a remark on his Immigration System record. A pal got one but was allowed in. Told to get a visa next time ie no more visa exemptReply to
