Any questions/documents I should prepare for airport immigration when entering with a DTV?

For example, do they ask "what is the purpose of your stay" and "how long you will be staying" etc

Is there a good way to answer these if so?

Hi . Travelling to Bangkok on a non immigrant o spouse visa ( 90 days ) issued by thai embassy in Uk . What purpose of travel should I put and do I need to put a return flight date ? Tanks

Quick question, see on the DTV VISA when you extend your visa after the initial 6 months and you've been in Thailand for 12 months, how long do you have to leave the country before you can come back into Thailand? Could I fly to a nearby country for like a long weekend and come back and stay 6 months and extend again? It might seem like a silly question but someone might be able to clear this up for me.

Hi fellow DTV holders. I’ll be doing my first 90 day check in. Going to chaing Mai immigration office. Any advice or recommendations? What should I bring with me? I’m already planning to get there early. Your response is appreciated

Thank you for info.

DTV Approved in 7 days, Amman, Jordan.

Only had to provide 1 extra document, my CV. Approved 8 hours after I submitted it.

FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS, DONT OVERTHINK IT.

My 90 Day Reporting is due on Monday 13th but I fly out to Malaysia on Wednesday 15th. Do I still need to do it? Would I get fined on my return? TIA

Hi! I just got a request to add some documents to my application: all the pages of my current + previous passport (i recently renewed it because all the pages of the previous one where full).

I have been trying now for 3 hours to merge all the scans in a PDF that is less than 3MB and it looks impossible.

Please help me if you know how to do this! I am desperate.

Hi all, I just arrived in thailand on a DTV. Does anyone have any useful tips / tricks to share that you’ve picked up from your own journeys?

Please note I’ve been to Thailand many times as a holiday maker but this will be my first time working here.

Compressing files

I am applying for a Non-O visa electronically via the Thai embassy in Jakarta and they asked for additional documentation including “Pls Upload ALL pages of your passport, NOT Skipping any page.” For my Uk passport that is 18 double page scans to fit in one file less than 3Mb. I tried using scan from notes, using photos etc. but struggled. In the end I did this:

1. Download CamScanner app (I’m on a iPhone)

2. Subscribe to their service making sure the first 3 days are free trial

4. Scan all 18 double pages in one document

5. Save the file (8Mb) to files

6. Go to the Adobe compression site ([members only]), upload the file

7. This compressed to 1.7Mb and was pretty legible

I’m sure there are other ways but this worked for me.

To anyone with a Muay Thai Softpower DTV. A question they will try catch you out with at the airport is. Will you be fighting in Thailand? The answer is No you are only here for training.
