Entered BKK on Sat 31 October around 7:30pm. 5th time in 2 years on my DTV. I’m old enough to use the ‘special queue’ (whatever it’s called). Straight to IO handed over my passport and it obviously linked to my Visa and DTAC as there were no questions at all. After scanning my fingerprints I did just say ‘DTV 180’ days as a gentle reminder for him but he had already stamped my passport correctly. All was as smooth as could be and took less time than it took me to type this.
Answer summary
The user shared their recent experience entering Bangkok on a Digital Nomad Visa (DTV), noting a smooth process with no questions asked at immigration. They mentioned using a special queue for older travelers and confirmed their DTV entry for 180 days. Subsequent comments clarified that the special queue is available for those 70 years and above.
