I got approved yesterday afternoon in Vientiane ๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ‡ฆ, filled out TDAC at Wattay international airport, entered Thailand through Suvannabhumi airport last night, no questions asked, officer just scanned the QR on my e-visa on my phone, he was even smiling (must be in a good mood ๐Ÿคญ)

I checked the stamp, confirmed it was for 6 months

I was on Non-Ed visa, cancelled it at the immigration before I left for Laos

Workation

Applied on June 22, paid on June 23, interview was yesterday morning, 12 business days in total, worth the wait!!!

Let me know if you have any questions. I will try my best to answer them.

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 agents.co.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.

Thank You for your helpful report ๐Ÿ‘

Congratulations ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘

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 โœˆ๏ธ 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.

- what will you do in Thailand?

- how are the company registration certificate and recommendation letter sent to you?

- how is your salary paid?

- where will you stay in Thailand?

- show me your bank details on your mobile banking app ( detailed inspections of transactions for 3 months) and original bank book

- show me the original documents of this and that

10- minute interview ๐Ÿ˜ƒ
