Hey all.

I applied for my DTV in the UK before arriving, but it didn't get processed in time. So I crossed the Thai border on a tourist visa, and frustratingly, my DTV was approved only hours afterward.

Does anyone know if I can re-enter with my DTV on a border run or switch over somehow? It is multi-entry, afterall.

Thanks!

Got my DTV visa this week. How critical is it to go to Thailand in the next 90 days to “activate” it? Or it can happen any time in the next 5 years without issues? The instructions are ambiguous. Thx!

A quick question,is a non o visa only activated once you travel?

I travel to Thailand on the 30. December and received a 60 days tourist visa. Today on the 4th January I received my DTV visa via email .

Can I go to the immigration office and have my dtv visa ‘activated’ or do I have to do a visa run in order to get it activated?

So now the question is..upon getting the dtv while in Thailand how soon do I need to fly out to activate it?

I am an Australian and was approved for a DTV in September. I received the approval email with QR code, however I have been unable to travel to Thailand since. The application process stated that you should only apply for a DTV if you will be arriving in Thailand within the next 3 months (which I now won't). Will they cancel my DTV if I haven't used it? Does it need to be "activated" within a certain period after obtaining it?

I've arrived last week in Thailand and entered with a visa exempt. Two days later, I have received the confirmation and approval for my DTV visa, which was under processing prior to that. I've mentioned this situation to the IM officers at the airport, and they said it's no problem, I just need to wait for the confirmation, and once it's done have the stamp exchanged at the local IM office. I went to Huahin office and see if I can have the stamp changed, but they said I have to leave and re-enter the country. Please let me know your input on this. Thanks!

I have confusion regarding the new E-Visa system commencing from 1st January 2025. Can it be applied in Thailand? When approved, do we need to leave Thailand and get a new stamp for new E-Visa? Or the E-Visa will be automatically activated if already inside in Thailand?

Thank you.

Wow, my visa got approved! Somehow didn't expect that anymore... Now my question is, how long do I have before I have to activate it? And can I do that from a country different than where it is issued and trough a landborder as well?

Thanks
