Does anyone know about the ‘Safe Entry’ visa system? It’s where you pay a visa agency to ensure that when you enter Thailand by air, you’re guaranteed a visa on arrival or visa exemption.

The agency claims it’s a legitimate process – you still go through immigration as normal, but they say you’d be directed to a different, fast-track counter.

Is this a scam, or is it a legitimate service? Has anyone had experience with it?

I have FINALLY applied for the DTV visa from London embassy (online ofc!) I will keep you updated with my application and if I get accepted or not 🙏🏼 wish me luck!!! 🇹🇭🙏🏼

Hello,

My DTV just got approved today at HCM via Muay Thai route after 4 business days.

I wanted to thank this groups for answering all the questions and shared your success story.

Approved!!

Wasn’t expecting it, emailed them to follow up today and 20 mins later got the approval 🎉

Thanks all here for the help! See you on the other side ☀️

Hi! Anyone have success at HCMC this week?

UPDATE: changed to ‘pending approval’ late last night - note that this update doesn’t get sent by email. Fingers crossed for Monday - I’ll keep you updated and share my experience 🤞🏼

My partner and I applied Sunday evening, Tuesday had a document request that we both submitted within 2 hours and the. Have had no update since..

I’m aware that Thursday was a holiday so that pushes the 5 working days to EOD Monday.

Anyone else in a similar situation? Seems odd to not have had any update from the document being submitted ..

And from other posts it doesn’t seem like a document request resets the 5 days (lots of people get approved within a couple of hours of a document request)

Thanks!

Went into Roi Et Immigration yesterday for my first 1year extension on O visa based on marriage. Was thinking it might a bit difficult reading some reports but very very easy and fast about 1hr.45 . My passport with photocopies of all pages with stamps in and front page 2 passport size photos of me wife's ID and house book photos off us outside and 2 inside house and map from immigration to home from goggle TM7 that i printed at home and filled out I have a photocopier did it all at home .Then up datetd marriage certificate in and out 8mins then3 months bank statements and letter update bank book 20mins then to immigration got under consideration stamp go back 28 January but not difficult at all and very helpful.

I suspect embassies from some locations have started “the deal” with the agents in terms of visa applications, and you will not get your DTV visa by yourself. It is kind of mafia thing and some of you guys from First World countries will not understand it. There is a system taking place and I am saying this for you to pay attention on where you are applying. I just got stamped my visa now and it is until 28 May. They started counting from the date the visa is issued.

Hi, i’ve seen a good flight ticket going to Tapei. But i discovered there is a stop in Seoul. Which of these two places is easier (time, no boring, live cost waiting) to apply for DTV (for the ones who did it) ?

Has anyone here experienced getting their DTV Visa rejected? I'm applying in person soon but my anxiety is getting the best of me. I've been to Thailand just a week ago and I really loved it there and I decided to move to Bangkok and I thought the best visa to apply for is the DTV Visa because I work remotely. And by the way would it matter if I only started to work remotely. I got hired last October of 2024. What are my chances of getting my DTV Visa approved? Thank you so much!

Anyone else get asked for Doctors Thai ID?
