Why was my DTV visa application rejected despite meeting all requirements?

one day allowed with one smile one day deported with a smile vietnam is waiting for you🙏krub

My friend is a immigration officer at Bkk

I just arrived at Suvarnabhumi 2 days ago. Showed my TDAC, Passport and DTV visa. Stamped through, no questions asked.

I did have all the documents printed and 20k i cash just in case, but I didn't need to show them.

Hi. You can avail the fast track if you were denied entry and if you were not being deported.

No.

Are we talking just Thailand cos I spent 3.5 months in Houston immigration detention center because “you don’t have enough money for a six month holiday because I don’t have enough money for a six month holiday therefore you’re living and working here illegally” and apparently no proof of income or bank funds were necessary for this to be cleared up because he ‘knew’ 😅😅

I was threatened with it but it didnt happen in the end. They were confused why im still coming back in after a year in Thailand even though I'm on the dtv. I showed them my invoices and contracts etc and they told me no, they want pay slips. I told them i dont have pay slips because im the freelance/ self-employment route. They asked to see what i submitted for the application - they didnt even know what it was they wanted - and i said i applied with what i already showed them. It was such a headache and they were like 'aww are you gonna cry because you will when we deport you'...

Long story short, im not going through BKK again unless i pay for a visa agent / fast track. Previous two times however I entered no questions asked with my 180 day stamp.

Yes, I have a DTV visa and entered Thailand 7 months ago. After a few months, I decided to have an international trip but when I went to immigration in airport, they stamped exit on my passport and sent me back. Till this day, I can't figure what went wrong. 🥺

P.S. It's my 100% real, authentic experience.

My family and I re-entered last week and were not asked anything. We went to the counter, handed the IO our passport, laminated copy of DTV and we were stamped in without any questions.

I didn’t laminate my visa, they weren’t happy they sent me back

My friend yes

Entered for a 2nd time yesterday after traveling to Cyprus for a week. Came through no issues, hardly looked at DTV, took fingerprints and stamped me for 6 months.

The only definite case that has been confirmed about entry denied was 2 Ukrainians. The gym was called and they were not known to the gym. Around same time a guy living in Chiang Mai was stopped at BKK on way to CNX. The gym confirmed he was known and he entered fine but delayed.

If you fail requirements you’ll be asked to buy an exit flight and visa will not be cancelled.

No, this has never happened to someone with a DTV. And no one has been put in jail for having a DTV.

Stop spreading ignorance.

If you have a DTV visa you will most probably not be denied entry. I have not seen a single case on the forums online, but maybe there are some unreported ones

You wouldn't get deported, in order to be deported you have to be stamped into the country.

If you're talking about trying to enter on a DTV and getting denied entry typically you get sent back to the last place you transited through although if you are an a**hole to the immigration officers they can send you back to country of passport origin.

Remember being denied entry does not mean you're deported, does not mean you're blacklisted, does not mean your banned. All it means is on that attempt to enter they didn't let you in, it doesn't void your visa, it doesn't do anything but turn you around and send you back on your dime.
