What to expect when entering Thailand on a DTV visa and what documents should you prepare?

@Cliff ********

hi! Just to confirm (un-anonymously)... I came through CM airport and was questioned about what I was doing here and then also questioned about my previous ED visa. The officer seemed very reluctant to allow me in. She didn't ask for documents but she did scrutinise me closely. In the end, I told her in Thai that I could speak some Thai and she relented and stamped my passport. Obviously, this isn't the same as the original poster's post, but I had read previously here about scrutiny of DTV holders with past ED visa and then I experienced it. All of this is to say, just because the majority of people pass through uninterrupted, doesn't mean some of us don't experience scrutiny. Also the IO who scrutinised me turned the woman before me (not DTV) back (referring her to the manager) and made a point of saying she was strict. Some officers are. It does happen.

@Joy ****

I had to explain the same to someone the other day here.I made a post here once and was flooded with friend requests from weird dudes and if that was not enough,messages that was unacceptable and uncomfortable.The person’s post is legit and you can see it is real

@Joy ****

yes another fear monger masquerading as Anonymous.

@Joy ****

Just like most other posts here, maybe you did not notice until now...

@Joe ****

who the f…. Respects Muricans? I doubt anyone with a brain does. I even have more respect for French people and that says a lot.

@Joe ****

not only Thailand. The whole world , because you are the superior……🤮🤮🤮

@John ********

It feels like listening to the same record on repeat... People, named or unnamed, have been posting about CM immigration placing them in a separate queue for quite some time now. So what are you trying to tell us by that? That all anonymous are liars (70% of posts here)? That immigration will never be able perform checks?

@John ********

🤡

@John ********

If you think anonymous postings are not reliable, you better can stop being a member of this group.

The majority is anonymous, and from the non anonymous most blocked their profile or just have an empty profile.

I think this specific posting perfectly fits in a trend we can see happening.

@John ********

this is hilarious, in such a specific normal case, c'mon...he didn't tell, that immigration officer forced him to get naked in order to control him, if he has money, which he earned through his job and DTV on his body...

Anonymous participant 363 Were you able to demonstrate some boxing moves? 🥊😂

Anonymous participant 363 in Chiang Mai or Bangkok? 😊

@Glenn *********

telling an immigration officer the wrong information when its all about their perspective and how they are feeling on the day would be a serious error

@Glenn *********

"Holiday" is not one of the categories for a DTV 😂😂😂

@Glenn *********

180 days too long for holiday.

@Jirka *******

Immigration does its job...

@Jirka *******

Checked by embassy does not mean that checks during real use of the visa will not be done.

@Jirka *******

Looks like they were checking for recent work.

@Luit ****************

there is no rules that in addition to visa anything is required, otherwise that would be stated clearly for everyone and everyone needs to have all the documents before flying to Thailand

@El***

Depends on the card. Does it have a watermark?

@Elías *******

How many DTV holders are working for household name companies Thai Immigration would recognise on a business card?

@Elías *******

A business card? Come on, get real!

@Elías *******

I would bring every document you have when re entering as they can ask for anything

@Yasmin **********

rather "anti-DTV" one, I'd say

@John ******

yes this is how it is working, glide straight through. IO might ask you some questions if they thing you look a bit shady and dress inappropriately, otherwise it’s a stamp for 180 days and off you go 👌
