Are there any fast-track pre-selection services available when flying into Chiang Mai Airport?

Hello! 👋

I’m looking for a good hotel in Ho Chi Minh City where I can stay for a while while waiting for a visa. If anyone has recommendations or experience with hotels in the city, I’d really appreciate it!

I am a freelancer holding worcation DTV, currently staying in Chiang Mai. I am coming up to my first 180-day and have already bought a round-trip ticket (CNX- a city in Vietnam- CNX). I am staying in Vietnam for 3 days.

What issues should I expect at CNX immigration when I return? Thank you in advance.

Arrived in Bangkok on November 29 for my second entry under the DTV Digital Nomad visa. I came in from Madrid after spending 90 days traveling through Europe and Latin America.

Entry was completely smooth—about 1 minute at immigration, no questions at all. Got the full 6-month stamp again. Sharing the update in case it helps others.

Where should we stay in Mae Taeng?

I come to Thailand each year. Next year I want to spend 3 months there in the Australian winter. This year I investigated extending my stay but changed my mind when the cost of changing the date of my return ticket was $AUD680, much more than half the total cost. Next visit I intend to stay 2 months visa free then extend a month. What are the best options for an outward/return ticket? It's obviously financially punitive to change the date and I assume that if I am asked to show an outward flight, a return ticket dated 3 months from arrival would not be accepted. There is always the option to buy a cheap throwaway ticket (if such now exists) to KL or a refundable one. Any thoughts on the best option?

I am holding a marry visa. Soon I have to travel to Germany for couple weeks. Do I need to dl something that my marry visa stays with me for redntry?

I need a visitor visa for my girlfriend. I will be there beginning of November for 6 months and want to bring her back to Canada at the end of April for 6 months. Is it possible? Is there someone who can help me with this?

Arrival post 03/09 -

3rd time entering this year on the dtv visa (I left Thailand about 3 weeks ago to go back to Europe)

Transferred through Bangkok svb (final destination Chiang Mai)

I had my current bank statements etc ready (as I’ve seen some posts in here recently that immigration officers were ‘grilling’ everyone on a dtv)

Immigration officer looked at my dtv, didn’t ask for DTAC (I’m assuming when they scan the visa qr code or visa number that it shows up on their system)

No questions asked, no words even exchanged, stamped for the correct time - easy.

I'm planning on leaving Canada and visit family in EU for 2-3 months (I have citizenship there but not residency). After that I'd like to move to Thailand on a DTV.

I think it makes sense for me to apply from Canada before leaving but what's the risk of applying right before going to EU? I don't plan on returning to Canada before going to Thailand and from what I understand I'm supposed to be in the country from which I am applying from?
