I got approved for the DTV using Discover Thai Nature about six months ago. I'm going to enter the country for the first time in about a month ( I haven't attended any sessions in person, obviously because I'm in the U.S ) and I'm wondering what I might get asked for when I go through customs. Has anyone gone through with Discover Thai Nature and been asked specific questions, or asked to prove 500,000 baht in an account?

Should I have printouts of the schedule or anything in particular to have on hand in case I get asked questions about my course? If it matters,I'll be flying into Chiang Mai.

Hi I have two questions.

1. I am in the uk at the minute about to apply online for my dtv visa, one of the questions at the end asks me to prove my current location how do I do this?

2. I am doing it through soft powers with a Muay Thai school in Bangkok, would it be a problem if I flew into Phuket from the uk instead of Bangkok ?

Hi everyone, I already have an approved DTV visa, but I need to renew my passport soon.

After I get my new passport, my DTV visa will still be in my old one. In this case, can I bring both my old and new passports when I enter Thailand? Will immigration accept that?

My old passport may be marked as invalid (cut corner or stamped), but the DTV visa page will remain intact.

Has anyone had experience entering Thailand like this? Or should I apply for a visa transfer to the new passport after arriving?

Thank you so much in advance 🙏

We (my 2 kids and I) entered Bangkok international airport with the DTV for the first time on May 31th.

Everything went smooth. Just my 15 yo got a few questions, who are you here with, what’s your purpose of visiting?

They didn’t see me, but when I waved (we were in a different lane) she waved back and stamped the passport.

Also thank you to the person that shared his tip, about laminating the visa. This was very helpful.

Hey everyone, looking for some advice from the group.

I hold both US and Russian passports. I have a DTV visa issued to my US passport, but for this particular trip I want to enter Thailand using my Russian passport instead (visa exemption).

My reason: 16 days after arrival to Thailand I'm traveling onward to where my Russian passport works better and want to keep travel continuity.

Has anyone entered Thailand on a different passport than the one with their DTV visa? Any issues at Thai immigration? I'm prepared with explanations and all my bookings are on the Russian passport, but wondering if this will create problems.

Would appreciate any experiences or thoughts from the group. Thanks!

once the DTV is approve how soon do yo have to be in the counry, i would like to apply to arrive by december how far in advance should i apply for it. tia

Hey, can you guys share your experience of entering on dtv? Just saw in the group there have been instances of unwanted srutinization while entering on the dtv? Someone said they were asked to show all the docs, they used while applying. This would be very inconvenient given some of us applied physically and don't have all the docs handy.

Do I need a return ticket or out of Thailand flight to travel to Thailand? I saw this requirement for 90 visa, but I don’t know how long I will stay in Thailand and where I go next, Bali or Vietnam or Philippines, if I just order a one way ticket, am I allowed to enter Thailand? I am from America.

I just got my DTV approved, flying to Bangkok next week. When I arrive at immigration I just show them my DTV visa proof and that’s it? Her stamped?

Any complications if you have applied for a DTV nomad visa and you come to Thailand in the meantime on holiday while waiting for approval? When you get approved while inside of Thailand, how it works? Thanks peeps in advance, much appreciated.

Also what if I am not in my country of residence and on business trip in another country ? When I get the DTV , can I just fly direct to Thailand or should I go back to my country first?
