A brief question for content creators / media editors on DTV who bring their own video equipment for workation (by plane): did you go through the red lane and declare everything, or did you take the regular „nothing to declare” route like every other tourist does?

I know the theory, I’ve read Thai customs and agent’s websites. I know technically one should declare anything worth more than THB 20k, but in practice you don’t see every single foreigner declaring their freaking iPhones…

I applied for the DTV from Penang Malaysia and they’re taking AGES to get back to me.

Sent the docs off that they requested more of last Thursday and still no reply.

Any ideas of what I can do to speed up the process?

Hi, I’m visiting Thailand from Australia and did an e-visa for 84 days (expires early October) but at the airport my stamp at the airport has an expiry date of 10 Sept and hand written notation saying evisa. Do I need to worry? Thanks

For people who successfully got the DTV after getting rejected, what were the reason of rejection you put in the application for your rejection. Does a rejection actually affect reapplication at all? HCMC is asking for more info and in case I get rejected would it harm my chances the second time to have that on my record or should I withdraw my application to protect my record? Does a rejection even need to be disclosed? Please help. Thanks!

Just got my Non O visa and looking at the Digital Arrival Card, they are asking for my departure date. I'm looking to permanently retire there so what have people been doing to get around this instead of buying a return ticket. I really don't want to purchase a ticket and only get a credit towards another ticket in the future as it'll likely never be used.

Thanks In advance.

Question about the dependants visa.

Is this their own visa or is it tied to the original visa somehow. As in, can they travel in/out separately? Renew separately?

My hubs and I own a commercial property we lease out in the US. Hoping this would suffice for DTV. Wondering if we should do the DTV + dependent or both get our own DTV. We often travel separately as we have different interests.

Our family bank account has both our names on it, will this be a problem when we apply?

Thanks for any help.

Cheers

So my LTR seems to have been rejected (according to the login page… I’ve received no info on why). Now I somehow need to get education visas for my kids before arrival in Bangkok on July 24 but the evisa site is apparently down. Any suggestions?
