What should I know about re-entering Thailand with a DTV visa after traveling abroad?
Just returned to Phuket airport after 1 week holiday to Japan on DTV visa…(UK citizen)
It’s about my 5th re entry
The only thing which changed this time, is that they asked to see the actual Visa on my phone with QR code
No asking of funds or anything like that or more questions this time….

why it’s works fine on the phone boyDom ********
@Johnny ******
it does technically say to print out the visa but you’d be unlucky if they caused issues over it being in your phone only. I just prefer to be safe when it comes to immigrationAnonymous *************
OPEVERYTHING is on their computer system, they can defintely see what visa you have …you don’t even have to tell them. Before when I mentioned I had a DTV, the IO got kind of annoyed and was…”yeah I can see already what visa you have in the system”,

fair enough, personally I see no reason to not print it out it’s not exactly strenuous 🤣John **********

I've seen examples of people not handing over their visa with their passport being stamped in visa exempt for 60 days.John **********
@Johnny ******
you seem unable to follow the simple instructions provided with the visa. Entitled much.

OPIt was pretty good and cold. Japan is a lot on fun on the first trip but the novelty wears off after you visit a few times

Anonymous participant thanks for the reply! I haven't been yet and have been considering going to visit. If you don't mind answering, how are prices currently for accomodations and food? I would be bringing my wife and son with me and we currently live in Chiang Mai.

OPIf it’s first time I defintely recommend it. Accomdation and hotel rooms are generally really small and cramped though, expect to pay 1000-2000 baht a night at least for a small double room . Food and eating out is a bit more expensive than Thailand…you can find a lot Shabu shabu…expect to pay about 1000 baht to get enough food for three people
I would recommend going Nagoya > Takayama (for skiing) > Osaka (for universal studios> back to Nagoya
