Hey DTV crazies, went through bangkok international today. DTV visa activated no questions no asks. 180 day approved.

I must say I took the advice of a member whereby laminated the DTV visa, had a print out od the Tdac done, i even went as far as to use a wet wipe to clean the finger print machine so that it read my very bad fingers properly.

Dont be nervous peeps, the Thai people are just wanting what is right for them. If it is cutting back in visa jumpers then so be it.

Has anyone applied for a Tourist Visa in London recently? If so how long did it take for the visa to be authorised? I understand they state its currently 15 working days but was wondering if people have been getting earlier than 15 days.

Hello everyone, I'm working on my DTV visa. I have a question for the experienced among us. When entering Thailand, were you asked to show a ticket for a flight out of Thailand? I'm debating whether to close a ticket when I don't know when I'll be leaving Thailand during the year.😊

Second entry into Thailand report.

After being in Thailand for 3 weeks, I went to Siem Reap for 2 and then returned through Don Mueang Airport (first entry was Suvarnabhumi). Easy as can be. No questions from IO - in fact I don't think she said anything other than hello and goodbye to me.

Hi TVA, got my retirement visa and multiple re-entry permit (slightly erased version below). About to make a trip and was wondering if there is anything I need to make sure immigration does (or does not do) when exiting or entering back to Thailand wrt stamps etc?

I was approved today for the soft power Muay Thai DTV5 visa. Do i need supporting documents like bank statements, income and residence information when going through immigration? Chatgpt said I did so I figured I would ask the group.

Update - Got Approved on 03/11/2025

Hello.

I'm in bit of a tricky situation, I applied for a DTV Visa (Remote Worker) at the HCMC, Vietnam Embassy.

Now there was an additional document request and after that its been on "Pending Approval" since last monday.

Now problem is my vietnam visa expires on 5th November, now im hoping somehow miraculously it gets approved before my visa expires, but if not what is my best choice?

1) Overstay few days? And pay the fine

2) Fly back to another country and stay there

3) Do a visa run, go to laos and come back to vietnam with a new visa

Assume im not in vietnam, will my DTV visa get cancelled? (Or is that only if i enter thailand)

And yes i have tried emailing, messaging, calling the embassy regarding my situation few days ago but havent gotten a response yet.

Hello. Has anyone managed to book a ticket on the official Thai Railway website? Apparently, train reservations are only possible the day before the travel date?

Can anyone know the best website to book refundable ticket I just wanna use it for setv visa application then cancel it and get refund after it approved and buy the actual flight I want

Hello everyone I’m planning on visiting Thailand for the first time next year in July and I will be there for possibly 2 months! Is there anything I should know as someone that’s never traveled outside of the United States before? I appreciate it 🙂
