Stamp on DTV visa looks incorrect.

I arrived on July 16, 2025 on a DTV visa. The stamp expiry in my passport is November 11, 2026?

With a DTV it’s 180 days at a time and the DTV visa is valid 5 years, so the stamp confuses me and I’m concerned it will affect my 90 day reporting.

Also, if there are any agencies that offer 90-day reporting service, let me know. Might be smoother if stamp is incorrect.

My daughter lives in Thailand on a 5-year DTV Visa. Last month she flew to Italy and was robbed 3 days ago of her passport which contains her re-entry stamp. She does have the DTV letter from the Thai government. My urgent question is this: without the reentry permit stamp which was in her stolen passport will she be allowed to reenter Tylan through Bangkok as planned without being giving a hassle because she does have the police report or does she need to wait in Rome and meet the Thai Embassy to get a new reentry stamp copied into her passport?

My DTV application was just cancelled due to an incorrect passport issue date. Since I have to repay for another application, I want to make sure that once this issue with the incorrect passport issue date has been resolved, there are no further problems. So, in your experience, if I attach the same documents as my previous application and fill out all the passport fields correctly, could they raise any further issues? Thanks.

Hi all,

My Portuguese passport with a Thai DTV visa was expiring, and I’ve just received a new passport. I was able to keep the old one, which has been invalidated by having the corners cut. The DTV visa is linked to that old passport.

I plan to travel to Thailand carrying both passports together with the DTV visa. Has anyone done something similar, or can share whether I might encounter any issues?

Thank you very much.

Hi everyone,

I have a question for those who applied through the French Embassy in Paris.

What did you write in the "place of issue" field of your passport?

I know this has been debated for months. Some people recommend writing exactly what’s printed on the passport, but I’ve also heard of applications being denied for that and advised instead to write the country name. What’s the right approach? The embassy is unreachable by phone and doesn’t respond to emails.

Thanks to anyone who knows!

Hello, if I have a non-O annual visa in an old passport and made a new passport, I bring both passports to the entry and then have to go to immigration and transfer the annual visa to the new passport, or does that also make the Thai embassy in Berlin ?

Hallo wenn ich ein Non -O Jahresvisum in einem alten Pass habe und einen neuem Pass gemacht habe, bringe ich nei der Einreise beide Pässe mit und muss danach auf die Immigration und die übertragen das Jahresvisum in den neuen Pass, oder macht das die auch die thailändische Botschaft in Berlin?

Hi, my application got cancelled today with the reason “wrong date of issue” I’m assuming they meant the date of issue on my passport, which I checked 10 times over. I can’t even look at my original application as it is “finished” now. Is there anything I can do, or do I just have to reapply ? Same embassy or different one ? TIA

Looking for advice on getting a DTV visa for Thailand

I’ve spent 4 months in Thailand this year. I’m currently traveling in Spain and Portugal, and plan to head back to Thailand in October for 2 months before returning to the US.

Question 1 – When and where to apply:

Should I apply for the DTV visa now while I’m in Europe?

My passport is running out of pages soon. I’ve read (and ChatGPT confirmed) that they can put the visa in my old passport, and I’d just show both the old and new passports when traveling. But I’d rather avoid extra confusion with border agents and keep it all in one passport if possible.

Is this a big deal — should I wait until next year when I have my new passport, or just go ahead and apply now?

I’ve also considered just going with the digital nomad option, but I’m concerned about Thai taxes. Based on what I’ve read, I likely wouldn’t owe anything, but I’d still prefer to avoid being in their tax system altogether.

Question 2 – Muay Thai option:

I qualify for the DTV in a few ways, but I’m most interested in the Muay Thai option since it seems to require less financial disclosure.

My gym has a program, but it’s 37,000 THB per week for only 2 training sessions a week. I currently train 5 privates a week for only 5,000 THB, so that cost makes no sense.

Do I have to stick with one approved gym to qualify, and do I have to stay enrolled in their program for the whole visa? Or can I train independently?

I really do train 5 days a week — I’m not trying to scam the system — but at 37k per week, I might as well just get the Elite Visa.

Has anyone had this issue? In "document number" it has incorrectly copied in my passport expiry date, as being 1934 instead of 2034. Any idea what to do? I don't want to proceed and then get rejected.

Somebody suggested I make a separate post out of this, thanks again for the answers in the other one. So how to avoid being rejected like many others have been, apparently, because of wrong name entry?

Caveat in my case; I happen to have a PhD and there are some funny countries like the one I'm from where this can be put into the passport.

At first I thought it was a good idea, and probably helps at some border checkpoints. However, it is much more trouble than it is worth, esp with regards to air travel, I'll spare you the details. So pictured below are the relevant excerpts name, plus the MRZ. However, the MRZ appears to be somewhat random, also shown the MRZ of my last passport where it is the other way around. Any tips welcome. Thank you.
