Mid 2024, 1st entry after DTV- no questions

Early 2025 border run- no questions

Today (flying in after border run)- asked if I speak Thai, likely due to previous edu visas. I do, and then was asked in Thai for my address and what my work is. No hassle, all is good. Grateful for the DTV!

I entered BKK yesterday, it was insanely busy. Took almost an hour to reach the immigration desk.

I handed my British passport, printed A4 DTV and boarding card to the IO. I had the DTAC on my phone but knew they didn't need to see it directly from me.

She stamped me in for 6 months. No questions asked. I was not asked anything, literally. In fact I said literally nothing. Nothing about purpose of visit, how long I stay, evidence for onward ticket etc.

FWIW I first obtained the DTV November last year. This was only my second entry on it. For the first entry I stayed 93 days.

I also want to point, while I know it was silly not to, I did NOT do my 90 day reporting on that first entry.

The IOs all look so stressed by the insane lines I think they were just happy to process people as fast as possible that didn't need 'intervention'. I noted the Brits before me were stamped in on their exemption on arrival stamps in the fastest I've ever seen an IO deal with someone. Literally 45 seconds at the desk.

Arrival post 03/09 -

3rd time entering this year on the dtv visa (I left Thailand about 3 weeks ago to go back to Europe)

Transferred through Bangkok svb (final destination Chiang Mai)

I had my current bank statements etc ready (as I’ve seen some posts in here recently that immigration officers were ‘grilling’ everyone on a dtv)

Immigration officer looked at my dtv, didn’t ask for DTAC (I’m assuming when they scan the visa qr code or visa number that it shows up on their system)

No questions asked, no words even exchanged, stamped for the correct time - easy.

Hi there, I entered Thailand yesterday with my DTV for the first time, via Phuket airport. I had my visa printed. The lady left with my passeport and visa to go ask something to one of her colleague, came back, stamped, no questions ask. I think she just wanted to be sure what to do with it. No stress 😇

Had the most smoothest process through Bangkok airport with my DTV last night.

I did my DTAC card online the night before.

I literally just gave her my passport, and she didn't ask for my DTAC or DTV E-Visa or anything else more than my passport.

Doesn't get any easier than that!

DTV issued yesterday in Philippines.

Landed today DMK.

Didn’t check my tdac.

Zero questions. Stamp for 6 months.

I had my visa printed out and gave it with my passport and the agent set it to the side and then grabbed it later.

Went through BKK airport today with the DTV visa, just been asked to show the visa. Lady did stamp 17/01/2025 so that had to be changed to 2026. Overall, it went well and pretty quick.

Anyone had an experience with applying to DTV in the Philippines? If so, how did it go?

Arrived in bkk yesterday, was fully prepared with all supporting docs, incase i was asked any questions as ive been in and out alot in the last 4 years it was starting to become an issue, just handed passport and e visa to the io, wasnt asked any questions at all, not even for the tdac and got 6 month dtv stamp in, nice and smooth

Quick DTV Entry Update: 🇵🇰🇹🇭

This was my second entry to Thailand on the DTV. I had entered Thailand from Bali on my first entry and it was a breeze. Just got asked a Q about accomodation.

Today I was entering from Pakistan. And it was even smoother. I expected a lot of Qs at Bangkok airport. Surprisingly, no Qs asked. Just stamped in for 6 months.

There were a few Qs leaving Pakistan (by Pakistani Passport Control) but mainly because they'd never seen a DTV before 😁

So happy with the whole process 🎉

PS: I filled out the TDAC while still on runway so it saved a BUNCH of time. Also, ZERO waiting time in line for passport control. They have so many counters now.
