Arrived at DMK this afternoon from a 5 day trip to Malaysia. Zero waiting time, zero question asked from the female officer. Just showed passport and DTV visa. Was my third entry on DTV. My last stay in Thailand was 4 month.
To all who have been making a fuss over DTV entry to Thailand.
I made my Entry yesterday. It was a breeze. The immigration officer was the absolute best I have ever met. He took my passport and said "You have the DTV Visa" smiled and stamped. This was for me, my wife and my kid. Even smiled and waved at my kid as we left.
Has anyone here with a DTV recently visited Cambodia and back to Thailand? Did IO give you a hard time coming back in due to the conflict? Just wondering...
I have searched through previous posts but could not find clear, recent clarification, so I am posting to get a general sense before making a decision.
I will be applying for the DTV soft power route in early March and am deciding where to apply from.
At the moment I am considering Hanoi or Taipei. I am trying to understand which location tends to be smoother and more efficient, and where people have generally had more positive or straightforward experiences.
Any recent experiences or insights would be appreciated. TIA 🙏🏻
REJECTED DTV EXTENSION! Rejected at Immigration, was told NEW policy Jan 1 2026 requires Thai Bank for 180 day extension, only way to extend is doing Border Bounce. Just heads up, and I understand different offices do different things
Any Indian citizens who applied for DTV from HCMC?
Am planning to apply for DTV from HCMC under workcation category. Have been working a full time job in the US for last several years, but now with H1B renewal stuck in processing, want to work from Thailand to avoid changing my tax residency in India.
Are there any other Indian citizens (passport holders) who worked for an employer outside India, who applied for DTV from Vietnam? Would love to know your experience and anything I should keep in mind during the application process. Thanks
