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?

Hello everyone,

Currently I'm waiting for my DTV visa in Phnom Penh, and I am planning to go back my country which is near Cambodia after getting the DTV visa without enter to Thailand immediately.

Then after two or three weeks I would like to come to thailand with the DTV that I got approval from Cambodia.

Would it happen any problem when I enter after two or three weeks of approval ?

Does anyone has experience to enter thailand like that?

a) Massage class DTV?

b) if DTV refused, entry into Thailand for normal touristic purposes possible/ normal 30 or 60 days?

Hello,

a) used the search funtion, seems no one has yet found a Massage class working for the DTV?

b) Just in case, sometimes one does small mistakes or it's just chance: In case of DTV refused by a Thai embassy: is future (say.. 2 weeks later or 4 or 6 weeks after the initial DTV application) entry into Thailand for normal touristic purposes possible? Or could there be slightly negative consequences when opting for the normal visa on arrival for EU tourist?

Thanks!
