Hi everyone, so I have a quick question I’m coming in on my dtv visa for the first time. It got approved while I was on my visa exemption so I’m going back and coming back in on it. I wanted to ask though what do you show when you come in. I’m worried about the bank stuff I had enough when I applied but had to pay my security deposit for my rental and my sons Tution it will be built up again in a couple of months but I’m worried if they ask to see bank statements or not when you come in.

Got approved for DTV workcation yesterday which I am very happy about.

Now I want to ensure a frictionless entry. I've been reading of being being questioned intensely on entry - even with the visa.

I'm coming off 3 weeks outside the country after a very long stay on visa exemptions and extensions. As far as I'm concerned I'm fully legit with my visa now, do I just have the visa and digital arrival card ready when going through or do I need to be practicing my story, detailing plans etc. ?

Hello. When applying for a destination Thailand visa on the Thai e-visa website, you must specify the country you are entering from and your flight number. However, if I enter from a different country and on a different date than the one I specified, will I be denied entry or my visa invalidated?

I just arrived at BKK airport. I showed the DTV E-VISA on phone, I did not print it out.

They said that’s OK.

No questions, stamped as seen on the photo. :)

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?
