Should I fly or cross by land to enter Thailand with a DTV visa?

Question

ho, i just got approved my dtv and im in malaysia at the moment, very close to the border. i did 2 visa run last year, stayed around 9 months and this January i got denied my entry twice, once becuase i didnt travel with visa and the second time i travelled with a tourist visa and i said my intention was to practice muay thai, so they denied my entry and told me to come back on a dtv. now, i asked chatgpt about crossing by land or flying to phuket, chatgpt advices me to flight because i have more chances to success but its much easier and cheaper to cross by land, what do you advice me?

thanks!

thanks!

The user has received approval for a DTV visa and seeks advice on whether to enter Thailand by flight or land border from Malaysia. They mention past entry denials and are uncertain about the best choice to ensure successful entry. Commenters recommend flying into Bangkok or Samui instead of Phuket due to stricter immigration checks and advise bringing proof of the DTV visa when traveling.

Thank You for your helpful report 👍

Congratulations 👏👏👏

PRINT OUT THE EMAIL THAT HAS YOUR DTV VISA.

That's what you should do... print it out.

You may have to show PROOF of your DTV Visa to airline staff on check-in for your flight ✈️ to Thailand...even to the connecting airline staff. Or to the land border crossing entry Thai Immigration Officer.

Upon arrival into Thailand, show the DTV visa to the Thai Immigration Officer and look at the STAMP placed in your passport to be sure you are STAMPED in for 180 days.

Fly to Samui if you are worried but an approved visa is an approved visa

I advice you better fly to BKK if you have DTV visa. Phuket immigration very strict.  And if you choose to fly to Phuket need prepare all document about DTV that you had apply. 😊 Just in case immigration will ask you to show all.
