Hello, friends and fellow travellers! Does anyone happen to know how long after your DTV has been approved we’re allowed to enter Thailand using it? Thank you! ขอบคุณครับ 😊

Can you use the fast track in entry for the first time? How do I order it?

Would it be easier going on a group tour to vietnam or laos instead of doing a border run by yourself to get another 60 days

Hey,

Looking for a solid visa border bounce service from Bangkok—specifically one with good drivers and comfortable vans (no sketchy rides 😅).

If you’ve had a good experience with a company, drop your recommendations!

Appreciate it!

I applied my DTV on 14th February 2025 from Islamabd, Pakistan, it shows processing, pending document check from that date. Is there any way I can communicate with the embassy as dates for my planned travel arriving soon.

I remember a post/video somewhere saying that Thailand would start some sort of electronic check in (immigraton wise) where you would enter your stay information (hotels, entry/exit info, etc). Later I heard that is was postponed. Does anyone know of this and it's status?

I am planning to visit Thailand later this month and I cannot find anything about it online. Thanks in advance.

Hi All 👋 we are in Thailand with our DTV visas and my partners Australian passport expires towards the end of the year, we are doing a bit of travelling and some countries I know need six month left on the passport to enter. We plan on renewing the passport this week in Phuket, however we are unsure now what happens to his DVT visa 🤪 does anyone know? Many thanks 🙏

Hello. Hope my questions find you happy and healthy. My question is about the retirement visa for Thailand. I know what I need to do to qualify. My question is on restrictions after I qualify. Is there restrictions on travel out of Thailand visiting other countries in the region like Australia, Vietnam and Japan. Can I travel back and forth home to the US or are their limitations? Having older parents makes me worry about this

I'm flying to Vietnam to get a DTV visa at the end of the month. It turns out there's a holiday there and the embassy is closed. How much will this affect the online visa issuance?

If I apply for a DTV in Vietnam while traveling around Asia and happen to be in Cambodia (or any other country besides Thailand) when it’s approved, is that acceptable? I’m aware of the interview requirement and understand the risks, but I can always take a flight back to Vietnam for the interview if necessary. I’ve been trying to find information about this on the official DTV websites, but I haven’t seen anything stating that I need to remain in Vietnam until the visa is approved.

I’ve also read comments in this group comparing this process to the walk-in visas (before the system moved online). However, in my opinion, they’re completely different. With walk-in visas, you had to wait to pick up the visa at the embassy, whereas with the online system, everything is handled and issued digitally. So, it’s not exactly the same.
