What are the requirements for a border bounce to Thailand from Laos with a DTV visa?
THIM and TDAC notice
Need a clearer THIM and TDAC explanation? Read the THIM guide on thim.in.th.
For anyone thinking about going to Laos for s border bounce.
I saw a sign with rules for DTV re entry next to the immigration officer.
I didn’t dare to do a picture next to the officer, but wanted to share what I saw.
1. DTV in physical or E visa form + TDAC
2. Funds or proof of income
3. working contract or proof of employment
4. proof of flight ticket out of the country
5. proof of accommodation
They didn’t ask me for any other documents than E visa and TDAC tho.

Answer summary
The post outlines the observed requirements for re-entry into Thailand on a DTV visa after a border bounce to Laos. Key documents noted include a DTV visa (physical or E visa) and TDAC, proof of funds or income, a working contract or proof of employment, a flight ticket out, and accommodation proof. However, many commenters report that they were not asked for all these documents during their border bounce, suggesting that having a copy of submitted DTV visa documentation is advisable but not strictly necessary.

I've seen a photo of that sign, but like you, many ppl have said they don't ask for anything. I think it is at Chiang Khong. I've just done a border run to Laos at Nong Khai and they didn't ask for anything

That was posted in January when I went as well. But didn’t get asked for anything.
Border bounces IO and the agents work together.
You won’t have any problems on border bounces

Didn't get any questions asked at Thakek border. They were all super friendly even they saw me literally walking around the building to leave Lao and enter Thailand again. Thai officer was even singing a DTV song 😂
DTAC + passport and a friendly smile is all you need :)

Unless you are filthy looking how you dress makes no difference at all. They can hardly see you from the booths anyway.
This how you dress nonsense is one of the biggest myths out there.

I don't have problems. Sounds like you are projecting from your fertile imagination because you can't see me either.
You should try getting some original material instead of parroting inane nonsense from every 5 minute wonder you stumble across online... 😂

The last 2 lines in your post is what happens.
Suggest you have a copy of the documents submitted with your DTV Visa forum with you. Unlikely to ASK to see them. BUT have them just in case.
