THIM and TDAC notice
Need a clearer THIM and TDAC explanation? Read the THIM guide on thim.in.th.
I have a DTV visa and I've now completed my 6-month stay. I'm going to Laos and will be returning this Sunday. I'd like to know what kind of questions immigration might ask, based on your experiences? Thanks a lot.
Answer summary
When returning to Thailand with a DTV visa after a 6-month stay, the community offers mixed experiences regarding immigration questioning. Generally, expect to present your passport and adhere to the Tourist Departure Admittance Card (TDAC) requirements. While some users report no questions beyond showing their passport, others note that having proof of ongoing studies or a printed visa may be helpful. Overall, experiences vary, and being prepared with necessary documents is advisable.

Lee Bull....pardon me BUT...
That's not a fact 🚫... IMHO pure scaremongering on your part. There's 🚫 NOT one report of being ASKED for PROOF of your "NEXT 6 MONTHS course".
