For those who have successfully obtained their DTV with a Hong Kong passport.

I’m going to apply in Hanoi soon and would like to ask — as a Hong Kong passport holder, what should I write in the ‘Place of Issue’ field? Should it be ‘China’ (the code of the issuing state) or ‘Hong Kong’ (the issuing authority)? Both are shown on the passport’s bio-data page.

Thank you!

Hello,

I'm trying to apply for the DTV from Cambodia but i can't find the link to apply on the Thai Embassy website in Cambodia. I only found this page [members only] but there is no clickable link to submit my application.

Am I missing something? 😅 Thank you!

Anyone do a DTV extension in Chiang Mai recently? Curious if there's any updates/changes in the process

Hello everyone, I left Thailand a week ago for Malaysia where I applied for a non-immigrant O visa (Thai wife). Unfortunately the process is longer than I expected. So I returned to Thailand with a visa exemption. My question is this : Can I return to Malaysia, collect my visa and then return to Thailand with the said visa ? Someone already did that ? Thank you

Has anyone here, over 50, brought their wife who is under 50 to Thailand. They got a non-o retirement visa and the wife got a dependent visa. I read this process of getting a depedent visa could be difficult and may not be successful, so I'd like to know about other people's experience doing this.

Thank goodness my DTV approved using soft power cooking class.

When I crossed the border, I showed Thai Immigration my visa via phone. But she never bothered to look, because their system already showed DTV.

Sharing my experience with my first 90-Day Report at Koh Samui Immigration! It was super quick—took only 15 minutes (though it might depend on the day). I just submitted my original passport, TM30, and a printed copy of my DTV E-Visa. After that, they told me to head upstairs, waited about 5-7 minutes, and it was all done! Smooth process, no hassle. Hope this helps anyone preparing for theirs! 🙏
