Hi I've entered Bali via the gates at immigration without a stamp last week and was applying this week for Dtv visa. I have the email of the e visa as a pdf and I assumed that was sufficient to show evidence but I've read contradictory views on that and the Muai Thai gym I plan to apply for Petchnumnoi Gym ( Sitnumnoi&Singpatong) via there webpage chat wasn't sure also, I have seen one post of someone stating they had the same experience but not any clear solution to the issue, I've been following this group and greatly appreciate any feedback. Thank you.

ATTENTION ALL MEMBERS

PDR Lao implementing online Arrival/Departure system

The Lao authorities have introduced mandatory electronic forms for foreigners: they must be filled out not only before entering, but also before leaving the country

The new digital arrival and departure cards will replace traditional paper immigration forms.

The electronic form must be filled out at [[www.immigration.gov.la](www.immigration.gov.la)]([members only]) no earlier than 3 days before arrival and departure from the country - there you must indicate passport details, visa information, purpose of travel and address of stay in Laos.

After filling out the form, a QR code will be generated, which must be shown at the border - it will be valid for 3 days.

At this time the digital card will only be required at the airports of Vientiane, Luang Prabang, Pakse and on the First Laos-Thai Friendship Bridge, connecting Vientiane and Nong Khai Province in Thailand. There are plans to roll out the system country-wide in 2026.

I just received an email for requested documents for my DTV application, but I don't know what to submit. Even tho I submitted most of supported documents in the original application.

Here is the list of requested documents:

1. A copy of the company's registration/business license along with GST registration

I do not have a registered business. I work as a freelancer with independant monthly contracts. What documents should I submit here? Can I submit my client's LLC? What else should I submit to support my case?

2. Flight details and Hotel accommodation

I had submitted the flight number (no tickets) & agoda hotel bookings. Do I need to book a flight now and submit the ticket itself?

My hotel bookings were booked on 'pay later/free cancellation' option. And they have expired, do i need to rebook or should i just submit the pdf that was submitted in the original application?

3. A foreign employment contract or employment certificate

I do not have a employee certificate, although I do have a few client's contracts. I was also advised to add a letter head and stamp of your name at the top of the contract. What do you suggest?

4. Copies of all pages of the passport

I can submit these.

PS. I am applying at the Mumbai's thai consular in India. From other's experience, they tend to look for strong proof of regular employment and if one can sustain themselves in thailand.

I am very grateful for this group and the people in this community helping each other out 🙏. Thank you so much to everybody! All respectful opinions are appreciated!

What will be the chances at Chiang Mai with such a history when arriving on visa exemption? Doubting to take fast track or not. Dutch passport

Hmmmm looks like the paper visa’s are indeed a thing… arrived at BKK and yes they did ask for it even though it says it’s E-Visa!!!!!

Do I need to print out the DTV page for immigration?

I’m heading to Thailand tomorrow and just realized I misplaced my printed out DTV, and no printer. Do I need to have it printed out for immigration at the airport? Or is it already in their system?

Now that I have received my Non-OA visa, am I still required to purchase a return or onward ticket for entry into Thailand?

Based on previous comments, I'm wondering whether I still need to obtain an e-permit?

Thanks.

Hello. We will be arriving in Thailand with a flight departing from Marseille and a layover in Amsterdam. Which country of origin should we put on the TDAC? France or the Netherlands? Thank you all.

Hi everyone,

I'm about to apply for DTV. I'm in South Africa but didn't get an entry stamp into my passport as I used an e-gate to scan my passport. Is that a problem?
