Hello my dtv visa is still valid, but my previous passport expired, so I returned to my home country. If I obtain a new passport, will I be able to travel back to Bangkok using my existing visa? Thank you

ho, i just got approved my dtv and im in malaysia at the moment, very close to the border. i did 2 visa run last year, stayed around 9 months and this January i got denied my entry twice, once becuase i didnt travel with visa and the second time i travelled with a tourist visa and i said my intention was to practice muay thai, so they denied my entry and told me to come back on a dtv. now, i asked chatgpt about crossing by land or flying to phuket, chatgpt advices me to flight because i have more chances to success but its much easier and cheaper to cross by land, what do you advice me?

thanks!

Question. I was in Thailand from November 2nd 2025 to January 27th 2026 ( tourist visa on 30 day extension ). I am interested in going back to Thailand for 2 weeks in April 2026 to celebrate Songkran ( booked round trip tickets with hotel stay ). Will this be permitted? I am hearing different things about entry. Thanks for any help.

So I am a Pakistani,working in China. From Feb 8th to 18th I planning to visit Thailand. I booked the hotels and flights, prepared all the necessary documents and applied for visa on 19th of Jan. Next day, they requested me some documents and I uploaded those documents on 21st Jan. Its been so many days and I am still waiting for my visa approval. Did anyone else gone through the same experience? My travel date is just few days away now and no response from them is stressing me out! I have sent them email but got no response.

Hi, Im new here and need help. I just tried to apply for a visa to Thailand and it was a very frustrating exercise. I got to the photo part and I couldnt figure out a way to drag my photo to the square and when I tried to access my photo on browse it sent me to my download folder instead of photos. Granted, Im old and not very tech savvy but Ive submitted many photos online and never had this issue.

So I tried on my other phone but I couldn't get back into the visa. I couldnt access it because the boxes to press the buttons were on top of each other. So Ill have to start over. Has anyone else had these issues? Is there a service that will do this for me if I can't figure it out?

Secondly, Im arriving in Bangkok Thailand Feb 21, staying 10 days and then will be traveling around SE Asia. Ill return to Thailand (Chiang Mai) arriving Sept 8 and staying 30 days and then fly out of Bangkok 2 days later to Europe. Is this configuration a single visa or a multiple visa? Am I correct that the total days allowed in Thailand is 60 days?

Thanks for your help and advice. Im stuck at this point.

I went to Bali on Nov 3rd, had some business there. Applied for my DTV. So this was before all the new rules. On Nov 13 they asked for all pages of my passport and proof of income. I work for myself so I sent my PayPal account and sent a letter stating that my bank account holds a balance of $180K Canadian which is over 4 million Thai baht not including other investments. I was approved yesterday Nov 18 got the email around 1pm. I then booked my flight to Thailand for today. I had the email printed out everything done. I got pulled over and questioned, they ask me what information I provided Jakarta to get my approval, I had to show my website, I showed my bank account balance, I showed my water bill because I rent a condo. Eventually for stamped for 6 months. So just because you have a DTV doesn’t mean you won't get questioned. Also to be clear, I have never done a visa run. I came to Thailand used the 60 days tourist, 1 extension for 30 days then went to Bali. It just aligned with my work. Within those 3 months here I leased a condo knowing I will apply for the DTV. Oh they also wanted to know how much I make monthly, it's random, some months can be 5000 some months nothing so I said that.
