Are Bangkok bank gonna delete me if I turn up to ask for a new one with my DTV? 🤣

**Edit- I braved it and they didn't delete me.

Hello fellow DTVers. I normally don't write posts myself, but due to the massive fear mongering of some, I'll share my experience today. I entered trhu Don Mueang Airport today, it's like the 8th or so time since I got my DTV in October. I had exited trhu Don Mueang before, but this was the first time I didn't enter trhu Suvarnabhumi.

As always, less than 5 minutes, no question asked, and a 180 days stamp received.

Mine is a remote worker one, if that matters.

DTV border check update: Went out for 4 days and came back to BKK-Suvarnabhumi airport and no checks. Instantly got stamped!

There was some fearmongering about that lately but no problems at immigration :)

Any recent experiences here from Chiang Mai of extending visa at immigration? I understand its easier to leave and enter but curious if things have changed to plan accordingly for next extension. Thank you. 🙏

How long must you keep the 500,000 bhat as cash in your bank account? Do you have to show this amount in your account the entire 5 years? I like to keep that amount of cash invested or in a short-term CD.

Just a bit confused by visa requirements and a bit of friendly advice would be appreciated, I am the original dinosaur.

I am looking at coming to Thailand towards the end of October and staying until some time in April.

I think that the 6 month tourist, Multiple Entry is probably the Visa I require?

My main issue with this is, it looks like you need to leave the country every 60 days, so I would need to do a border run twice to be able to stay for the nearly 6 months, is this correct?

If there is a better visa, or way of doing it, your advice would be appreciated.

Have a good day x

So I left Thailand and reentered on my DTV back in April. Today I went to report my address for the 90 day report.

Had all my documents in order (or so I thought).

I did not know you needed a TM30 for each time you exit and reenter Thailand. Immigration official’s smile immediately fades when she looks me up in the system and asks why my TM30 is dated for July and not April.

Well, “There was a typo in my name”, I said.

She said, “No, where is your TM30 for April. You only have two TM30s. Where is owner. Charge ฿1600. Contact owner right now. Do not leave. You call I speak to owner.”

Condo Owner: not responding to texts or calls

Me: the genius who left his wallet back at the condo, because, “Oh, immigration is just a short stroll to the beach, I’ll be in and out.”

Currently sitting here hoping they’ll let me return with the money. Each time they ask for owner, they just get angrier and angrier. Dear God

Update: They let me come back with the money. Got my receipt and I swear to God I’ll never make that mistake again 🤣

Hi guys,

I am wondering if someone could help, please.

I will be in Bali for 5 days, then flying to Australia for a week, then back to Thailand after that.

My concern is that I need to stay in Bali until my DTV is approved, but if it is delayed, then I may have already flown to Australia, and this will cause issues.

I am hoping I can apply and be approved in Bali, but if not, it will still be ok if I am in Australia by the approval date.

Does anyone know if this would cause an issue, or as long as it is all done online, it shouldn't cause any problems?

Thanks in advance 🙏🏻

DTV or Thai Elite? Still debating whether I should spend the extra money and go with the Elite to avoid all the hassle

Hello everyone. I can't remember this, so I came here to ask. I have been back to the US for about three months now, and since I have the DTV, going back to Thailand, do I need to buy a round-trip ticket, or a one-way ticket should be ok and cause me no problems? I plan to go to BKK, maybe connecting to CNX. Thank you.
