What should DTV holders do when entering Thailand to avoid complications with immigration?

and I think we took this as far as we can, IF you have an eVisa, you SHOW it when you stamp in to the country

Always have the eVisa PDF print-out.

For my year extension for stay, the officer ask me also a copy of the initial eVisa Non O-A and told me to show-up each year with a copy.

This post is extremely helpful. Thankyou. Enjoy Thailand 🇹🇭 🙏

But why choose to try and enter under another method, when you have a DTV with unlimited entries?

I wonder why it says “first time used.” Does it matter how many entries are used on the DTV?

But so you can enter and leave Thailand and you don't need to do 180-day extension?

How many exits do u go if get? Fees for entry and exit?

Did you get a Re entry permit, does a rentry permit need to be used with DTV?

Thanx for the update (y) congrats on the DTV too 🙂

That was SUPER lucky the officer saw you had a DTV..

Just will relate a story, a person had a 6 month METV but they were only going to be here a few days at first so they didn't show it (and it didn't flag in the system when they stamped in) so they came in visa exempt.

THEN a week later they tried to enter on the METV (which was an eVisa like yours) and the officer said that visa was void because they entered on another entry type AFTER they had the visa.

I'm not saying it would do that on a 5 year DTV but that guy was burned for 200 USD because he took a visa exempt entry AFTER he had that eVisa approved for the METV

My advice is always show your eVisas when you stamp in to the country
