Non-B after 2 exempts advice:

Did 2 border runs this year(January + April) total 180days on visa exempt + extension

June 2025 did ED VISA and went to school to study thai language, visa finish december 2025 (this month)

I applied and got a job and my employer told me to go laos to get the Non-b work visa. (Legit work and everything)

Will i have problems entering thailand on NON-B with my history?

Sorry if this question been already asked i couldnt find anything.

Arrived Bangkok a few days ago with a new DTV Visa issued in Vancouver.

Thirty Seconds until six month entry stamp. Zero Questions. Female IO.

I am curious. Despite some people getting thouroughly questioned upon entry, has anyone had FIRST HAND experience of actually getting rejected from entry at the border with a DTV Visa, or are these concerns unwarranted?

Also does anyone getting thoroughly questioned or verified come from what might be labeled a first world country or travel on a top tier passport (ie. Western Europe, Five Eyes Nation, Japan/S Korea…

And if questioned thoroughly, or asked for extra information, was your visa issued in Laos or Vietnam?

Curious if there are any patterns of inquiry.

(Please keep this thread kind. 🙏🏼)

Does having multiple ed visas already effect chances at dtv?

Hi everyone, I have a question regarding the DTV visa and would really appreciate your input.

I’m working with an agent and all my documents have already been approved by their legal department. I just want to clarify one thing before applying:

My stay history in Thailand:

• Entered Thailand in July

• Stayed 2 months + 30-day extension

• Then did my first visa run

• My current visa ends on the 6th

All of this was before the new rules that started in November.

My question:

With the new restrictions and stricter entry rules, could my stay history cause any issues when applying for the DTV or when entering Thailand again after I receive it?

Would appreciate insights from anyone with experience. Thanks! 🙏

I have sent my SCB bank statements, and now they are asking for a copy of the visa I held when I opened the bank account. It was 15 years ago... Has anyone experienced a similar situation?

Hey has anyone successfully got the DTV with a history of education visas?

Hello! I am currently on a legitimate Muay Thai visa (I go nearly every day) and my girlfriend is teaching here. We are thinking of going home to our home country for a month or so once my Muay Thai visa ends and then applying for the DTV. If we don’t get the DTV what do you think the chances are of being Ley back in just on a tourist so we can like empty our house here and tie up loose ends?

Our visa history is 6 month multiple entry (before DTV) then we went our respective education and woek visas and that’s it, no border runs or anything like that.

Thoughts ?

What will be the chances at Chiang Mai with such a history when arriving on visa exemption? Doubting to take fast track or not. Dutch passport

Has anyone had this DTV visa for more than 2 years. Only just been told about it

“Have you ever applied for Thai visa” - hey guys I’m on the travel page of the application and ran into this question.

I was last in Thailand 18 years ago, I think, and I don’t remember the visa situation fully.

I think I had 90 days at the time? Could be wrong, maybe 60 - but I stayed 6 weeks.

I booked the whole trip in a Trailfinders office in Dublin - or something similar to Trailfinders - where you would also book “Interrailing” tickets etc.

Point is, I can’t remember if they applied for a visa for me, or if there was visa free travel back then maybe?

What would you suggest I answer?

Thanks for any input 🙏
