After reading some post where people got questioned I got waved through without being asked anything.

My history was a longer overstay back during Covid and plenty of tourist visa before getting the DTV.

Received my DTV Dec 26 in Ha Noi, 5 business days, American Passport

Last night before dinner, I went to a local print shop I have driven by near my Airbnb.

Walked in and Google Translated that I wanted a laminated 4x5 Mini DTV Approval letter, and a printed DTAC arrival. I was able to Apple Airdrop him both the items.

4 minutes later I had my “DTV Passport sized Packet” cost me 20,000 dong.

At dinner I looked for a fast track service. As I just wanted an easy VIP experience and no waiting in super busy immigration lines of the New Year’s Eve rush at Bkk.

Saw a few ranging from 1700-3000+baht.

“My Tour Desk” I found an ad here on Facebook and it was cheaper than most I have seen. So I took a chance. 😜.

Clicked the link, Filled out my basic Info, added my Flight Number and arrival date, and pressed pay.

💵 1700 Baht

10 minutes later I was WhatsApp messaged from My Tour Desk letting me know a “Butler” would meet me at the end of my arrival gate, and could I send a selfie so the butler could recognize me. Easy, Sent

Left Hanoi this morning at 9:30. Arrived Back to BKK at 11:30.

Walked off the plane and up the gangway, I was met at my arrival gate by an awesome energetic Butler. Greeted me and said hello.

I Handed him my Passport Packet. He was mega impressed. 🤣 Said let’s go, follow Me.

We walked to a little bit father gate than the masses and was met by Immigration Guard. He looked at all my stuff briefly, said wow looks great.

He told me to proceed past him and walked around the corner to a private IO booth, with zero people in line, to a bored older IO,

I handed him all my items, I pressed my right hand to the finger print screen. Old guy barely looked upwards towards me.

Stamp Visa, DTV E Visa written in pen. Extra stamp with exit date of June 27th.

He Handed back my passport packet.

Khàawp khun khráp 🙏🏻

I walked around the corner to where I was greeted with my 3rd Butler.

He walked me over to the carousel, waited with me for 20 minutes to get my bag, chatted about life.

Bag finally came off the belt, he snags it and started

Wheeling it away with me in tow. He walked me to Bangkok Air Domestic Departure on the 4th level.

We went over to the Bangkok Air Elite line.

I Handed my passport, cellphone my digital boarding pass to the Agent, she slapped a baggage tag for Samui.

The Butler then walked me over to the Domestic departure Boarding pass area. High Fived Me, at my request and waits until I am past boarding pass Officer Checks.

Pretty seamless and amazing experience for my First DTV arrival stamp of my 5 Years being able to Live in the Kingdom.

I have DTVisa and I didn't do 90days report Iast time I was in Thailand. I'm planning to come back soon and I know I have to pay the 2000thb fine next time when I'm in immigration. But may I have some problems on the border? Has anyone been in a similar situation? Please, let me know about your experience. Thank you.

Has anyone traveled here for facial plastic surgery, if so what did you have done, was the work high quality, who would you recommend and where?

More specifically looking for face and neck

My experience. I have been in Thailand more than 120 days this year with 2 extension. Came back yesterday from Vietnam where I went to apply for a tourist visa. Immigration didnt ask anything, I asked them if a tourist visa was ok to come back again, the IO said to me to apply for a multy entry that is easier. Long queue at immigration tho.

Is it best Too do a DTV from your home country ? I see alot of people get rejected when trying to do it next door Neighboring Thailand .....

Finally!! My DTV is approved.

Thank you for this group.

Hello everyone,

just curious if anyone have been requested for the futher documenations when applying for the DTV(remote work) as below and how to deal with it as it´s doesnt make any sense to me. I have a ticket to Thailand but not back yet because i am not sure when ill going back. Also i have booked accomodation for the 7 days and provided them the recipe, but having accomodation for the whole stay(possible 6 months) is crazy. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thank you

Other request documents: ticket to and out of Thailand, travel itinerary shall start in Czech Republic

Other request documents: proof of accommodation showing applicant's name for whole stay in Thailand

Has anyone ever used "SWD Thai Visa Service" recently?

I am looking for feedback on this agency since I couldn't find many reviews about them online. Could anyone please share the experience with the agency or at least verify its legitimacy? Thanks.
