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.
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.

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! βœˆοΈπŸ‡ΉπŸ‡­

Good luck with your border run!

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 🫑
