ORIGINAL POSTERHello everyone, on November 21st yesterday, I received my DTV visa in Vientiane, Laos. It only took me 5 working days from application to approval, which is amazing speed. On the same day, I successfully entered Thailand through Friendship Bridge with my DTV visa. Refusal of entry is only for frequent Border runners .not for DTV holders. I hope this information is helpful to everyone
