My 6 months were almost over, spent a few days abroad and got back in DMK. Minutes spent at the immigration 11 (3 folks ahead of me), f#ck given 0. Out of curiosity I tried to spot how strict were the other officers during the time I was there, saw 2 people denied cuz they didn't do the dtac and got told to get back once they were done. That's all. (It was my 4th getting in the country with the DTV applied for Muay Thai)

Arrived at Bangkok airport from Vietnam, already have a DTV but my first exit and re entry.

Didn’t need anything other than my passport as the DTV and TDAC is logged under the passport. I did have them available but was told they weren’t necessary (despite the signs stating to have them ready).

I was informed (by the immigration police lady) to always check the passport stamp for the re-entry date on the DTV’s as mistakes have been made (by immigration). Once you leave the airport it can be difficult if there’s is a mistake.

Her colleague on the next desk came over to see my passport and whatever it was they had visibility to on their screens as she had never had a DTV traveller herself and wanted to see.

First exit on a DTV on 28th February, spent 5 days in Istanbul and flew back into Phuket on 5th March. Landed at Phuket, IO stamped passport as soon as he saw DTV sticker. Not a single question asked. (UK passport holder)

Just in case it’s useful I re entered BKK yesterday @DM Airport yesterday, very smooth entry. No questions and just a quick check of my DTV via my phone.

This was second time re entering and worth noting that others in the queue on visa exempt were all being asked how long in Thailand/when are you leaving etc?

Hi. In the next few weeks my DTV is reaching 180 days. Since I don't want to go through IO I either plan a flight out or using a border run agency. What is the better/safer option to do it? I didn't find any information on DTV land border bounces so far.

I am in Laos and want to come back to Thailand is there a new form online I need to fill out or did that get postponed? Getting conflicting information online…

Has anyone left Thailand with an ED visa or another type, got approved for DTV and came back in right after? Was it an easy process? Did they give you a hard time at immigration?

Hi * someone has experience with re-enter on a student visa from chiang mai? Hiw is the process and borders checks are ok with ? 💙🙏

Hi, I am aware the 90 days report on line is often down but if ever it gets easier one day what happens if I leave Thailand and go back again ? I know the first report must be done in person but is this obligation once and for all or does it mean it has to be done at immigration office every time I enter the country again ? Thanks for any info.

Technically not visa, delete or close if not appropriate. Here is an update of my return to Thailand yesterday.

I managed to get a test in USA which was negative.

I checked CAAT site [[members only]) and Chcago embassy [[members only]/) before leaving and also the 1178 number in Thailand.

I had insurance, ( this is not listed on the sites but is checked) negative test result ( site now says fit to travel document not lab test).

I confirmed with 1178 that the 72 hours is from when you leave on international flight and not 72 hours before arriving in Thailand as my travel was 36 hours and I only had result 6 hours before leaving.

I printed a copy of my work permit so everything ready.

In Chicago the airline agents had incorrect documentation required and they told me I had to fill in a return to thailand doc online embassy website. Their information was wrong all I needed was work permit, the form was for Thai Nationals so impossible to complete for me.

Contacted Chicago embassy, fair play, quick answer and helpful staff, they confirmed I had correct documents.

Airline manager came, she contacted embassy also, lucky same guy answered who spoke with me and he confirmed to them I had correct docs so could fly.

Many hours later, arrived in BKK.

Check 1 was to complete a T8 form which had to be done online took about 15 minutes. No issue.

Check 2, they print a copy of T8

Check 3, check of T8 and they check insurance, work permit and test result, TM6 and work permit.

Check 4 Just before immigration, on the ramp where you can get TM6 forms, 3 IO officers check all docs. Passed that easily in 5 minutes, then to main I/0.

Check 5 This was worst part as the I/O had issues with my WP and called 2 others over, who in turn called another 2.

I only hd a copy and they inquired why, my reply was that I left on 13th March and at that time it was not a requirement to re enter thailand so wife sent copy, that was ok.

Next, Why is my company name not on the WP, had to explain my WP was obtained by Distributor not my company.

They then got bit confused as my WP is on back of a Non O based on Marriage and not Non B.

By now was about 6 of them lol with two of them in line video call laughing filming this as I was only farrang out of 70 on plane, rest all Thai lol.

I was not overly worried as I had all required info, just a matter of explaining to them, they obviously very cautious at moment.

After 20 minutes explaining my WP and VISA was let in.

Apparently there was 5 international arrivals yesterday and 3 today so think the flight availability will be more of an issue than documentation.
