I read, starting in May, every tourist entering Thailand will have to fill out the TM6 form before entering the country.

Will DTV holders will have to fill out a TM6 form before arriving in Thailand ?

Thanks !

Can anyone tell me what happens with DTV applications during the Xmas & NY period in Australia at Canberra Consulate? Do they stop processing applications and people have to wait until the new year? I have flights booked for to Thailand on the 31st Dec and concerned my visa will not be processed in time. I submitted it on the 10th Dec and provided additional documents 3 days later. Thats was on 13th Dec.

Hi, I’m currently in Thailand on ED visa and planning to go to Taiwan to apply for DTV visa. As I will provide my employment contract as an evidence and it is stating my address in Thailand (my rental), does anyone know if there’ll be a problem that my residence is currently in Thailand? Thanks

Anyone in the group get DTV as dependent ( family member of DTV holder) ?

Is the waiting time pretty much the same as the normal application or is faster?

I'm flying Dec 4th with arrival on the 6th. Does anyone know the latest on the new ETA system, supposedly starting December? I can't seem to find anything other than it's to start December.

ETA, the Electronic Travel Authorization, to Thailand will not start anytime soon.

Once the trial was supposed to start this December, but it had been postponed and the new implementation date has not been released.

We currently don't accept posts about ETA until further official information is released.

Earlier in the year foreign clients of Kasikorn Bank received communication about Commonn Reporting Standard (CRS) and FATCA (for US citizens). There was a need to complete and submit forms.

Now Bangkok Bank has started the communication and it is predicted all foreign account holders of accounts in all banks will have to complete the forms.

The main question for DTV holders on the form is "Country of Residence" and "TIN" or if no TIN specific reason. This is for Tax Reporting to country of residence which Thailand signed up to.

Please do not shoot the messenger :-) :-)

Hi everyone !

Is the ETA entry from 01.12.2024 confirmed?

Update DTV South Africa: The short of it is they still do not have any information about the DTV, cost or procedures and asked to follow up mid August.

You cannot go to the Pretoria Embassy in person anyway they won't let you in. I had to speak to an officer over the phone. She said it'll be likely that the DTV application will be done via a courier service. The VFS agent knows nothing about the DTV either.
