Hi there, I entered Thailand yesterday with my DTV for the first time, via Phuket airport. I had my visa printed. The lady left with my passeport and visa to go ask something to one of her colleague, came back, stamped, no questions ask. I think she just wanted to be sure what to do with it. No stress 😇

First time entering Thailand on a DTV. Can I use the Laos–Thailand border crossing for entry? Will there be any issues getting the 6 month stamp?

Coming into Thailand soon with an approved DTV. I hear CMX is a bit more complicated than BKK.

Has anyone come in recently into Thailand and was questioned? If so, which airport did you come into?

(I also used to be on an ED visa and spent a lot of time in Thailand)

Hi. I’ve just done my TDAC and it was easy and I got my confirmation and QR code straight away,

The only bit that gave me pause was the sub district ( in the address section) because that wasn’t on my accommodation address. So I looked it up on the map. Hope that helps.

Another smooth entry data point:

Arrived at BKK from LAX (via Manila) after being away for 2.5 months. This was my second entry on DTV and the first time flying in on DTV. I have a pretty extensive visa history - almost 9 years of continuous stay on visa exempts, tourist visas, and non-o visas.

I expected to be asked a few questions, but nope - stamped right in!

Facebook in its great wisdom isn't letting me comment on this post, so I'll answer questions here:

* No, I didn't need to present any document since my visa is the old kind - a sticker in my passport.

Quick DTV Entry Update: 🇵🇰🇹🇭

This was my second entry to Thailand on the DTV. I had entered Thailand from Bali on my first entry and it was a breeze. Just got asked a Q about accomodation.

Today I was entering from Pakistan. And it was even smoother. I expected a lot of Qs at Bangkok airport. Surprisingly, no Qs asked. Just stamped in for 6 months.

There were a few Qs leaving Pakistan (by Pakistani Passport Control) but mainly because they'd never seen a DTV before 😁

So happy with the whole process 🎉

PS: I filled out the TDAC while still on runway so it saved a BUNCH of time. Also, ZERO waiting time in line for passport control. They have so many counters now.

Hello everyone, I left Thailand a week ago for Malaysia where I applied for a non-immigrant O visa (Thai wife). Unfortunately the process is longer than I expected. So I returned to Thailand with a visa exemption. My question is this : Can I return to Malaysia, collect my visa and then return to Thailand with the said visa ? Someone already did that ? Thank you
