I’ve just had my first entry with my DTV: it was as smooth as silk in Suvarnabhumi.

Hi everyone, Hope you are having a good day.

Has anyone recently applied for the DTV visa in any of the neighboring countries around Thailand?

I would love to hear about your experiences and any tips that might help as I want to apply for it soon.

I've got 2 months left on my current visa so I'm not in a rush.

Thanks for reading.

Strange experience at DMK airport,

I’m on DTV remote work, went on a 5 day trip to Vietnam (so called border bounce, instead of the documentation nightmare in immigration extension).

I come to the counter, and the following:

Officer- “how many days you plan to stay?”

Me - “around 90/120 days, still not sure.”

Officer - looks at me with strange look.

Me - I thought he think I’m tourist visa so I mention “I’m on DTV visa.”

Officer - “visa in nothing, I’m decide if you come or go. Where you go after Thailand”

Me - I have a booked trip to Hong Kong and then Dubai.

Officer - you don’t go home country? You don’t miss your mom or dad?

Me - not sure, I’m digital nomad, I travel and work on laptop.

Idk why I got the “tourist on 7th attempt to visa run” treatment while I do have the proper visa and everything is legit. I guess officer had sudden urge to flex he’s the boss?

Should I start considering elite visa? I do live in Thailand, have Gf, 4 cats, car - kinda bummer

Hi everyone,

I want to share my experience about re-entering Thailand with a DTV visa.

I am Taiwanese and hold a Taiwanese passport. Recently, I’ve seen some posts expressing concerns about re-entering Thailand. I have entered Thailand 4 times with DTV through BKK without any issues.

My DTV route is Soft Power(Muay Thai).

I just want to say that if you applied by yourself or through an agency with correct and truthful information, you should have no problems re-entering Thailand every time.

Why have I re-entered so many times? Because I love traveling. But Thailand is my favorite country.🇹🇭

I’m wondering if some people obtained a Visa DTV by attending a seminar with Discover Thai Nature?

Feel free to share your experience, it’s a shame to pay the seminar if it’s not enough for obtaining the visa 🙏🏼 I’m living in Denmark.

UPDATE: Khon Kaen don't do the 60 days extension for visiting Thai wife anymore either. It's been discontinued.

Question: 4-5 months ago they stopped offering 60 days extension based on marriage in Udon Thani (new policy). So can only do 60+30 instead of 60+30+60. I was able to do 30+30+60 in Khon Kaen prior to that for years (when 30 days visa exempt was a thing). I still have an address I can use for Khon Kaen so I would like to try to do the 60 days extension there. But I'm 2 hours away so would like to confirm first that it's indeed possible.

Did anyone here did it recently after the initial 60 days visa exempt + 30 days extension? Please only answer if you actually know the answer from having done it. I'm not talking about 90 days + 60 days, but what use to be 30+30+60, now 60+30+60, which was possible in Udon Thani for a few months after the change to 60 days visa exempt, but not anymore. So I don't know if it made the round in Isan or if it's only in Udon Thani that the policy changed.

Thank! :)

Hey! Question:

Has anyone gone with Muay Thai Fever gym for their Soft Power activity for the DTV visa?

What’s been your experience?
