What should I do if my DTV was issued outside my birth country?

DTV is scam and sh*t show, people paying so much money and effort to get this and still questioning at the immigration like a criminal. for what all these energy and effort ? for living underdeveloped 3rd world country ? Come on people , be smart and go spend your money somewhere where you are more welcome !

Some people used dodgy agents in neighbouring countries to get their DTV. So some IOs are suspicious about it. Nothing to worry about if everything is above board.

Just a stupid question from them just smile and say was in another country when I wanted to get DTV 😁

Quite a bizarre and stupid question by the officer. For some of us there isn't even a Thai embassy in my country. I had to submit to the nearest neighbouring country.

Just tell them exactly that. It wasn't available when you applied.

And no, don't apply for another one.

Almost every type of visa can be applied for outside of your own country. A very small number of visas can only be applied for in your home country such as METV and Non Imm O-A.

last year i arrived to BKK international Airport the officer hit Yellow button and i was escorted to another area near the immigration office without any explanation at all after that officer shows up with my passport he told me what is the problem my answer was i don't know and i never never broke any rules before he checked his computer for a few minutes and start smiling he told me its ok no problem you have clean records in the system and sorry for the delay after that he stamp my passport in the office and was escorted to the baggage claim

There has been a few posts similar to this where the IO questioned why you got the DTV in xyz country and not your own.

No accounts that I’ve read of of actual refusals though.

No need to reapply. You have the DTV now.

Just smile and be polite and give your answer to them. No you don't need to reapply.
