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)

Arrived in bkk yesterday, was fully prepared with all supporting docs, incase i was asked any questions as ive been in and out alot in the last 4 years it was starting to become an issue, just handed passport and e visa to the io, wasnt asked any questions at all, not even for the tdac and got 6 month dtv stamp in, nice and smooth

Got my Non O visa approval today. Does it start the day I enter Thailand. Will I need an onward ticket. Thank you everyone for the information that has gotten me this far.

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

Just got back in Bangkok! Got aproved yesterday enter today, not questions asked . Lots of people in the detention area and my officer took someone out of the line because apparently was recording in that area. Best of luck to everyone . Thanks again .

Hi,

I will be leaving for laos next month and will be applying for the dtv online(obviously). I'm just a bit curious as to what to put down for entry into Thailand as am cycling from chiang mai to Vientiane and the plan was to cycle back and enter at chiang Khong. Would you recommend just picking a flight number and using that or put down border crossing? I haven't started the application as yet, just curious!

Cheers

I have not been keeping up to date with changes to Thailand entry... do you need any kind of electronic authorization right now, or can you enter with just a passport?
