What documents do I need for a border run re-entering Thailand with a DTV visa?

May 30, 2025

Hello. I got my DTV visa 6 months ago and I now have to do my first border run. I've read that extensions are difficult so I'm opting for a border run by air.

When I re-enter Thailand, is there any documents I need to provide or is my passport with the DTV visa all I need?

Thank you.

TLDR : Answer Summary
When re-entering Thailand with a DTV visa, your passport and visa are typically sufficient. However, it is advisable to carry additional documents such as the TM30, 90-day report, proof of accommodation, and a copy of your visa. Some recent discussions suggest that immigration may ask for proof of funds, like your bank balance. Additionally, note that there have been changes in regulations requiring the TDAC (Thailand Declaration Form) to be completed within three days of arrival.
Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC)

WARNING: Only trust Thai government websites with .go.th domains or Thai agent websites with .co.th or .in.th domains, as these require verified Thai registration and cannot be registered anonymously.

The official TDAC form is available at tdac.immigration.go.th, which uses the official .go.th government domain.

The services by AGENTS CO., LTD. does NOT charge any fees for arrivals within 72 hours. If you need to book more than 72 hours in advance, there is a service fee of $8.

Do not trust other sites pretending to be a trustworthy agency. Pay attention to delivery time - the service operated by AGENTS CO., LTD. has 1 minute delivery time for arrivals within 72 hours.

Don't fall for sites pretending to be tdac.in.th or the official government tdac.immigration.go.th website. Always double-check the exact domain in your browser.

Scam services may take days to process your application, others may not even do anything. With these TDAC scam services you also need to worry about double charges.

Please watch out for TDAC misinformation spread by fugitive Jesse Nickles and his many fake accounts on Quora, TripAdvisor, Reddit, and other platforms.

Hello! 😊 When re-entering Thailand with the DTV visa, your passport with the valid visa is usually enough, but I personally always carry all my documents with me, just in case. I hand them over directly at immigration. It’s ultimately up to the officer whether they want to check them or not.

I bring things like:

– TM30

– 90-day report

– Rental agreement

– Work contract

– Copy of my passport and visa page

– And the new Arrival Card (TM.6)

Better safe than sorry! ✈️🇹🇭

Good luck with your border run!

Ive seen a few people say they may ask you to show your current bank balance on hand.

@Christina *******
yes that's the most important thing, as its proof of funds, so I always have a min of B500k in my account, which I can show via my mob phone app if asked but I am not expecting it. They know from your tdac form that you have a visa, as you would have put DTV and Visa no on the form and they can see your last stamp, so nothing to be concerned about. It's 5 years now hassle free entries into the kingdom ..enjoy 🫡

Anonymous participant the online form all foreigners to complete before you arrive in Thailand to be done within 3 days of arrival, Google TDAC Thailand for official site

@John ********
so everytime you come in or out there's a chance they can ask you to verify your bank balance?

@Christina *******
I would say unlikely but I like to keep this cash on deposit, just in case, everyone is free to do what they think is best for their own circumstances
