Does the applicant need to enter Thailand within a specific time frame after being issued the visa? Or can they enter the county for the first time within the 5 year period

Got Approved!!!!! Do I now just show the pdf with the visa and the QR code everytime I enter Thailand?

When you entered Thailand on a DTV did immigration ask for BANK DOCUMENTS and if so how many months did they ask for or did they just want to see a traditional bank statement again?

Did it have to be a recent bank statement or the same one you applied for the Visa with? Do you perpetually have to have 500,000 baht for the entire 5 years untouched for immigration to not give you trouble every time you enter?

To be clear I'm not talking about your embassy requesting traditional bank statements I'm talking about did IMMIGRATION request to see bank statements on your first, second, third entry on DTV into Thailand after you have had your visa accepted by the embassy.

I understand everyones experience will be different depending on the officer but I want to hear your experiences. I'm asking because I want to keep my money in an investment account that generates a higher percentage yield on my cash than chase bank will. If I stay for 5 months I can always move the cash back to chase for a month to have a statement. Unless immigration wants to see 6 months of bank statements every time you enter.

What's the process to transfer DTV from old passport to the new one? Additionally, can you enter with 2 passports and transfer at the port of entry?

Has anyone been asked to show your bank account upon your first entry? Or at reentry?

I know it’s really up to the officer but I just wanna know what happens more often

If I have 2 passports, and I present a brand new passport to the customs officer, does the system see my entire previous travel history, or just my last departure from Thailand?

Wanted to share my experience entering via Suvarnabhumi Airport on DTV visa.

As soon as the IO lady saw my DTV, the first question asked to me was “how long you’ll stay here?” I answered 4 months. Then she said “what will you do for 4 months?”, I said I’m a remote worker for a US company and I plan to travel and work online. She then asked me to show almost all documents I used to apply for the DTV visa. Thankfully, I had them on my laptop.

I was asked to show my Employment Contract, Employment Letter, Company registration documents, Bank statements, rent agreement for my stay in Thailand, my portfolio website. The IO lady kept noting something down on a sheet of paper. She asked why I applied for the DTV from Laos instead of my home country. I replied, “because I came to know about DTV while I was in Thailand on visa exemption already, and flight to Laos was much cheaper than a flight to my home country.” She gave me a odd look and finally was stamped for 180 days.

Overall, it seems if you’re entering on DTV, you’ll have to pass their questionings. Better have all the required documents and the required bank balance as well.

I applied thai E-VISA with a one way ticket and the return from another country is this ok??12 days still processing!

When you have your DTV can you wait 5 months before making your first entry?

Can you fly in whenever, or do you need to be in Thailand soon after recieving visa?
