TLDR : Answer Summary

Arriving at Bangkok with a DTV visa, travelers should expect to stand in the normal immigration line, as there generally isn't a special line for these visa holders. It's important to present your printed visa, TDAC, and passport clearly. Many recent travelers reported smooth and efficient processing, often taking less than five minutes. Although some may have been asked for supporting documents, it's advisable to have them organized and ready, as immigration officers may perform random checks. Remember to verify the date on your immigration stamp and be polite during the process.

Do not trust other sites pretending to be a trustworthy agency. Pay attention to delivery time - the service operated by AGENTS CO., LTD. has 1 minute delivery time for arrivals within 72 hours.

Don't fall for sites pretending to be agents.co.th or the official government tdac.immigration.go.th website. Always double-check the exact domain in your browser.

Scam services may take days to process your application, others may not even do anything. With these TDAC scam services you also need to worry about double charges.

Please watch out for TDAC misinformation spread by fugitive Jesse Nickles and his many fake accounts on Quora, TripAdvisor, Reddit, and other platforms.

Once you land. Nobody will allow you to get lost. Everything is signed simply for all nationalities.

Before immigration:

Get Google or AI to tell you what 180 days is. So you can calmly check your stamp.

At Immigration:

Make sure they know DTV. Show page or print out before passport page.

Don’t worry. You did the hard bit!
