What was the experience of entering Thailand on a TDV visa like?
THIM and TDAC notice
Need a clearer THIM and TDAC explanation? Read the THIM guide on thim.in.th.
I arrived yesterday at BKK Suvarnabhumi using my new TDV (remote work) visa.
Everything was extremely simple and without any questions.
I only presented my passport, boarding pass, printed TDV and TDAC documents and my yellow fever vaccination form (not necessary "in theory").
After reading in this same group about people who were extensively questioned, I went prepared with a good dose of patience. It wasn't necessary; it took less time than the four times I entered as a tourist.
Grateful to the Hanoi consulate, which had the patience and willingness to ask for more documents twice and analyzed them quickly.

Thank you for your report. That’s the way entry should be and undoubtedly is for 99.9% of DTV holders. 0.1% who report otherwise are troublemakers. Good to hear that Hanoi consulate helped you with your application not once but twice!

OPThe first time, they asked for more documents regarding my company's registration, and the second time, they asked for translations of my bank statements (some of which were in Portuguese).
