Is it common for visa agents to request personal documents while offering their services for re-entering Thailand with a DTV?

Just do it alone. Don't make it complicated. Try to experience by yourself. We are waiting for your updates.

You're the one looking for trouble. First of all, you DON'T even need an "agent" to acquire the DTV, secondly: once you have the DTV, you're free to exit and enter Thailand anytime via the international airports (my preference). How do I know all this: because that's what I did throughout 2025!

You ask stupid questions, of course they will scam you. You have DTV, no agent needed.

Who on earth would use an agent for this?

Of course they’re going to scam you - you basically advertised you haven’t a clue…

What you experienced isn’t unusual — and it’s not an extortion racket at the checkpoint. It’s just how agents filter clients.

Real visa agents only take cases they already know will succeed. That’s why they push to see your passport bio page, stamps, and visa up front. They’re not doing “checks with immigration” — they’re checking whether you’re an easy, low-risk file before they quote or take money.

A couple of things to be very clear about:

Agents do not have people “inside the embassy” or inside immigration making decisions. None of them do. At most, some have contacts who can move an application to the top of a pile or do a cursory document check. That’s it. Final decisions are made by immigration officers, and those officers are untouchable. They are not risking their careers for a few thousand bahts. It doesn’t happen.

The reason the agent kept pushing despite you already having a DTV is simple: once you already hold a valid visa, there’s nothing meaningful for them to sell you. So they switch to vague warnings, nationality-based “pricing,” and urgency to create doubt and see if you’ll bite.

Land border re-entry on a valid DTV is not something agents can influence. If your visa is valid, and you meet the conditions, you either get stamped in or you don’t — and no agent at Facebook-message level has any leverage over that.

The red flags here weren’t the request to see documents — that part is normal — it was the insistence after you made it clear you didn’t need a service, plus the theatrics about nationality and “it’ll be more expensive later.”

Bottom line:

You weren’t about to be stopped at the checkpoint.

You weren’t missing anything.

And no one can charge you to “re-enter” Thailand if you already hold a valid DTV.

If you don’t need a service, don’t engage. Immigration isn’t negotiable, and Facebook agents don’t control borders.

you have been talking to someone from Scambodia lol

You wouldn't need FasTrack immigration or any such airport/immigration service from an agent, unless you used illicit methods to obtain DTV.

Don't wear your gold chain on the beach while talking to ladyboys... Don't buy magical hair water... Don't ever ask a guru if you need a guru... Don't use or talk to an agent unless you want to cheat...

You were looking for trouble, i can't even comprehend what you were trying to ask about. You have a DTV you have no need of dealings with anyone

first of all if you have a DTV you already must have all information from the agency when you applied for it or you already should have gathered all information. DTV is for 5 years and every 180 days you need to go out and re-enter and this is free. if you have gone out anytime other than this also it does NOT cost anything as DTV comes with multiple entry permits.

Sounds like someone is trying to sell you their services. And that their sister works in the airport at immigration.

If you dont need that service then just dont need to respond anymore to that person really. Or just answer i dont need your service.

You have a five year multiple entry visa. Come and go as you please.

I dont understand anything. Why do you need agent?

If you already have a DTV why would you even contact an agent?
