I want to apply for DTV in Vietnam. I am basically eligible for both, workation and Myai Thai camp (soft power). Now I am choosing an option to go with. I am more inclining towards Myai Thai (since I want to attend classes anyway). Are there any disadvantages with soft power path compared to workation? Based on available history, which of them (soft power or workation) is easier when re-entering (after 6 month)? Do they ask a re-confirmation that you are still attending the Myai Thai classes when you are re-entering after 6 month (has it ever happened to anyone)? Also any potential differences with handling taxes (for non-Thai income)? Which of them has more chances (in general) for paying no taxes in Thai?

Left Thailand and returned for the first time on the DTV.

Flew down to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and back into Hat Yai, Thailand.

Zero issues. No questions.

Just a big smille when I handed the cute border guard girl my passports size, laminated DTV visa.

She stamped my passport with a date 180 days from today.

Easy

Just arrived at SUV was my fourth exit and re entry on DTV in the last 18 months, very easy just showed TDAC on my phone and that was it 2 mins max!

Hello everyone, I am going to enter Thailand for the second time. Do I need to print out my visa again? Is there anything else I need to provide?

Hello everyone,

I’m planning to apply for the new Destination Thailand Visa (DTV). I qualify on the financial side since I have over $50,000 in liquid funds, and I can also provide my current employment proof at the time of application.

My question is:

👉 If I resign from my job after getting the DTV, will this cause any issue when I try to re-enter Thailand on the same visa? Does immigration actually check employment status at re-entry, or is showing funds enough?

Has anyone here faced or heard about this situation? Would really appreciate your guidance 🙏

Got approved for Muay Thai visa today, same day after the interview for 5 years. I used an agency which helped get all the documents in order before everything was submitted, IMO, this makes it worth the cost. They also have a service that can do the 90 day report for a small fee.

Short story though: about a month ago, I attempted to return to Thailand on a visa exempt status after my ED visa expired, I got grilled at the BKK border and was denied entry. I don't believe i was given a fair chance to demonstrate my Thai knowledge, the officers were quite hostile which totally threw me off and I hesitated having a conversation with them in Thai. They asked maybe 2 questions at most and spoke at a native level, didnt ask to see if I could read or write Thai - the experience afterwards was fking awful. Anyone that has been through this will know 😂... surprisingly very few first hand accounts of others experiences i can find online, but you literally get treated like a criminal.

Anyway, just curious if anyone has had an extended stay in thailand and now obtained the DTV. Will they ask to see a departure flight? Got the feeling if I fly back into BKK, they will try to give me a hard time for the most idiotic reasons even though I have a legit visa.

Please advise 🙏

If you already have the DTV digital nomad visa, do they check again the 500.000THB in your bank account upon rearrival? 🤔

As an Australian Citizen I receive 60 days visa free on arrival at BKK. I can then extend for 30 days at Immigration. If I then depart BKK and fly return to Vientiane, Laos VTE OR Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia KUL for a few days.... can I then get another 60 days visa free on arrival back in BKK? Also, can I then apply at immigration for a 30 day extension at Immigration? The total period is approximately six months with a few days exit in the middle.

Thank you in advance for any helpful replies.

Hello I want to know something about my DTV, I been staying with DTV for almost a month (20 days) now I have to go back home for personal reasons. So when I come back to Thailand, will the immigration reset previous one and give new 180 days?

Recently came back on my DTV at BKK airport. No issues, I gave my DTV paper to the immigration officer, no questions nothing asked. Stamped back in for 6 months!
