So when i came back into Thailand with my DTV i registered my name as a guest of my Gf house online in the TM30 system. When i added my details i got the approved notification, however im just doing a search now and its not coming up with any data at all.

Any idea why and if this hasn't registered me properly then what will happen. NO idea what's happened as when i did this it gave me an approved add notification

90 day report - When leaving Thailand (with a re-entry stamp) I was told that you don’t report again until 90 days after your return date. Is this true?

I applied for the DTV(digital nomad) visa on Friday last week, and received an addition document request today.

When originally submitting, I included the companies articles or organization and now I am being asked to submit the company’s registration. The company I am working for says that this Articles of Organization is all they have. Any suggestions?

Another super smooth re-entry, in Phuket this time, with my DTV (Workcation / German). No questions asked.

That is how the DTV works in reality for real people and not anonymous fearmongerers 😜

Enjoy your time in this beautiful country everyone 😊😍☀️

So many strange experiences are posted here. I would like to share my positive experience:

Came in on 9th August together with my daughter.

The immigration lady was very kind. I had an LTR before on my ex husbands visa. Since he retired and left, I do need my own visa and for my daughter as well.

Btw: applied for a DTV workation (process was very smooth and quick).

The lady just asked: is your husband not working anymore in Thailand. I said: "no, he is retired". No further questions - just the stamp for me and my 16 year old daughter! Great experience!

My friend has applied in London for a DTV and is yet to receive a response. His flight back to Bkk is on Wednesday evening. If he returns to Thailand and is subsequently approved can he activate his DTV simply by leaving the country ?
