Hello everyone. I was denied entry into Thailand based on a 60-day exemption. Will I have a problem entering with a DTV visa? Has anyone had a similar problem? How can I re-enter Thailand? I don't have an entry ban.

How do you add a digital timestamp onto the scanned passport pdf? What is the safest way to go about this without possibly causing concern for tampering with stricter consulates? Because with a basic text overlay i am concerned you can write literally any info… seems iffy. What was your experience?

My US passport book is filled, I only have 2 pages left, though it doesn’t expire for another 5 years. I made an appointment at the embassy in bkk to get it renewed with a 52 page. Which form do I print and take to the embassy, DS 82 or DS 11 .. im getting conflicting info online.

Thanks in advance .

I am currently in my first one-year extension of a non-immigrant O retirement visa. I kept 800k balance for 3 months after receiving the extension, and it has dropped below that but remained above 400k since then.

I have also been transferring 65k+ every month since the start of the extension.

My question is whether i need to bring the balance back up to 800k for 2 months or 3 months before applying for the next extension, or can it remain 400k+ and rely on the past 12 months of 65k transfers?

I'm having trouble getting a definitive answer for this. I was just at Chaeng Watthana immigration to do a 90 day report and just can't seem to find the right person to give me the information.

I've been asked now a second time for additional documents, and they're asking for paperwork I've already submitted (employment contract, company registration paperwork, and no less than 17k.) I've provided ALL of these things at least once if not twice already. What does this mean? Are they just wanting to confirm, or is what I've submitted previously not what they're looking for? I need answers! I've emailed them a week ago but haven't heard back yet. Any insight will be helpful.

Hello. My 90 day online reporting has been rejected. What can be reasons?

I did not put landlord information.

I recently changed my location.

I was approved for DTV! But it took some time, and my flight back was too expensive to change, so I entered recently on a regular tourist visa. I know I have to go out and re-enter to initiate the change of status. Is there a deadline for this? Like use it or lose it? 🤷‍♀️

Hello you awesome people

My 90 days report is due the exact same day I'm flying out of the country.

Should I do it or could I go?

Hi.

A question about 90 day reporting, following on from a previous post. If on DTV and I stay 180 days and don't report after 90 days, are there any ramifications further down, when I leave and then return to Thailand?

I read somewhere about a fine.

(Sorry, anonymous because I get annoyed with the keyboard warriors who see every post as a stupid question!)

Any relevant answers appreciated.

Hii has anyone applied DTV from Spain? I see everyone is applying from border countries and I am not sure if my chances of being approved are lower from here. This is my choice. Soft muay thai course 1 month tiger eye gym Bangkok. Any advice is appreciated thanks 👍👍
