Recent experience entering on my DTV visa 3rd entry. I was returning from Vientiane Laos by land before flying from Udon Thani Airport. During my land crossing I was asked to go to the back and see the supervisor. No questions about purpose of my trip just looked through passport and sent back. I walked to the back room sat down handed the supervisor my passport. He looked quickly and said do you have a visa? I said yes it's in my passport. Apparently both him and the first immigration missed the physical copy of my DTV inside my passport. I asked him to hand me my passport opened and showed him the DTV. He took my passport back stamped me and told me have a good trip. Zero questions about current activities or purpose of visit. I had my TDAC done as well and they didn't ask for my QR code. So all in all if they had seen my visa most likely would have just waved me in. Next time I'll just make sure my passport is open to the DTV page not my bio data page when I hand it to them.

Hi. I will be applying for DTV next week, how do I prove that I am in the UK ? I returned from Thailand in April and passport control did not stamp my passport. I think I have everything else covered 🙏 thank you in advance for your support. And anything else that can trip me up ?

First entry on my DTV via Bangkok Suvarnabhumi. Gave my passport, boarding pass and my cute little passport-size laminated DTV. The latter seemed to raise concern of the officer, she pressed the yellow button and I was pulled aside. Two other officers came, one checked the visa on her mobile terminal, another one invited me to a closed desk. Scanned my passport a few times, scanned my fingerprints twice (obviously something wasn’t working properly with the computer) then asked for TDAC. Checked the printed form, retyped my accommodation address, and stamped me in for 180 days.

Generally nice, easy and calm process.

Thanks again for this group for helping me out on each and every stage of the process of obtaining the visa!

Hello. I am dtv holder, I am flying back to Thailand. I read in some groups that now at passport check at Thai airports, they need to see all the documentation I sent for getting the visa approved, not only the dtv paper. Is it true? And I read they are asking a lot of questions about the reasons why entering Thailand.

When I entered Thailand last time I just showed my passport and dtv paper, did they change something?

Thanks

At the airport - TDAC not allowing me to enter the address of my stay. But did issue me the card with QR code..am I good or should I wrestle with it for the next 10 hours 555.

Just sharing today’s exprience in Don Mueng. I used the Thai passport lane as I was traveling with my thai wife. I had filled out the DTAC, and handed it to the immigration officer, who proceeded to totally ignored it. He did not want to see it or the barcode, and just went into the passport to look for the visa stamp.

Applied for a DTV in Warsaw first thing today. Just got asked to provide all pages of my passport. I read here they do that to confirm I'm not in Thailand, and I'm a bit confused... I got back from Bangkok a week ago but this time didn't get an exit stamp cause I was sent through these automatic passport control devices (e-gates they were called?). Would this be an issue? Would they bother to ask for further proof (I have my boarding passes etc. I can easily proof I did actually come back) or will they just throw me under the bus?

I have just been approved a DTV. My question is. That when i come to Thailand. Apart from proof of DTV. What other paper work will I need to show at passport control.

Flew in to DMK a little after midnight. Gave the IO my passport and print out of DTV. No questions asked. Stamped in for 179 days. ( my last trip in to Thailand was at DMK about a month ago and the IO gave me a hard time and said next time come back with the correct visa, I was on tourist visas for maybe 6 months) Don’t have to worry about that anymore !

I departed from Thailand yesterday.

They used the electronic scan in Bangkok airport. I noticed that no departure stamp on passport. Is this the new way. All electronic no physical stamp in passport.
