*EDIT* - As some of you seem to lack the ability to read, I'll write it again here. This post was for INFORMATION only of an experience, that's it. If you want to argue, please do so elsewhere.

Just wanted to share my experience at BKK this afternoon - I have the DTV for workcation (online business) and have been travelling around South East Asia for the past year or so and have many stamps in and out of countries. The immigration officer (female) initially scoffed at my visa and I was escorted for questioning - after completing a passenger statement & a conversation with a very nice/polite immigration officer (male) I was allowed to continue into Thailand as normal.

He advised me that DTV holders should only stay for 3-4 months, not the full 6 months each time, as people should use the visa for travel.

UK passport holder - travelling in a couple (only female took for questioning not male).

Travelled from Vietnam to BKK (many others in the immigration holding also seemed to have travelled from Vietnam too).

*This is for information of my experience only - this group has a habit of fear mongering unfortunately but if you have the visa for the correct purpose then you should have no issues.*

Advice please regarding dvt application. Ive enrolled in 6 months muay thia course starting may 1st..question on application asks how long you plan to stay in thialand? .I may have to leave thialand for a few weeks work and carry on with the course when I return. Are they expecting you to stay the first 6 months without leaving or am I overthinking the process. Any advice will be appreciated thankyou.

I am in UK and have just recieved my non-o (other) visa for intended retirement visa. With the stricter controls at Thai immigration would it be advisable to have exit ticket (eg train to Loas) ?

DTV question. If a company based in Japan were to hire me to attend events in SE Asia on their behalf, including public appearances in Bangkok, would this be allowed as per DTV guidelines?

On the 90 day reporting to immigration, this will be my first time to report , therefore my question is , do I just calculate out the 90 days from when I entered the country or does immigration notify you ? , thank you in advance for any feedback back .

Hi everyone. I am wondering about the 90-day report...

August 27th will mark my 90 days here in Thailand, but I am actually leaving the country on August 30th. Do I still have to file a 90-day report or would it be ok not to, since I'm leaving soon?

,

I know that when you are filing for a 90-day report, you can file it up to 15 days before or 7 days after your 90th day. So I am just curious if I still have to do it or not, or will I get in trouble? I really appreciate anyone's insight on this. Thank you! 🙏

What if you are based here and don’t have plans to travel out of the kingdom, then what to enter in the departure section for the new digital arrival card ?

Just joined the group. Searching for visa requirements for an Australian to visit Chiangmai in early March for 7 days of tourism. It LOOKS like I don't need a visa at the moment. Just turn up at the airport with a passport good for at least 6 months, some hotel bookings, a ticket out again that's valid and dated, and at least 2,000 THB. What have I missed???
