After seeing the post from someone who said they were given the 3rd degree entering the other day Iwill share today's entry story. With some background.

- Oct 3rd 2025: 1st entry with DTV through Suvarnabhumi

- End of Oct 2025: Flew to Cambodia for 2 weeks via Don Mueang

- Beginning of Nov 2025: Returned to Thailand via Don Mueang

- Mid-January 2026: Flew to Cambodia for 6 weeks via Don Mueang

- March 1: re-entered Thailand via Don Mueang

- March 7: Flew to Manila via Suvarnabhumi

- March 14: Returned to Thailand via Suvarnabhumi

I was not asked any questions about reason for my visit. Proof of funds, etc, etc, etc. So there is no coordinated effort to trip up DTV holders. If the incidents people have posted about extra questions and screening are real they are very much random in nature and the exception not the rule.

DTV Visa experiences

Hi, am considering applying for DTV visa so just wanted to get some input from others who have applied for and are currently on DTV to see how the experience has been and if any problems/ issues to be aware of. Thanks! 🙏

Just wanted to share a quick update regarding immigration at BKK:

Arrived yesterday on the dtv visa, 2nd visit as first time was around 2 months.

Literally no questions asked and got stamped in at Suvarnabhumi in less than 30 seconds when it was my turn, the queue was huge tho even at 6 am.

I prepped bank statements just in case they asked but they weren't bothered at all. Smooth experience overall!

Hey all, i been on DTV for nearly 6 months now and i am planning my first border run for the 6 months. Planning to go vietnam and back via don mueang airport.

Some of my friends say that best to use suvarnabhumi airport for dtv re entries because they ask too much questions and wants to check more in don mueang airport. is that true? anyone has been there recently ?

First DTV arrival at SuvarnaBhumi from Hanoi. Passport, A4Print Visa, Boarding pass. "Sawadee Krap". The Immigration Officer smiles happily, with an approving sound of satisfaction, upon seeing the fresh DTV paper. Oxytocin rushes thru my brain. She stamps and writes with a pen. Dopamine gets activated. "6 months, right?, I ask. "180 days" she corrects with an graceful instructive quality. The charming, calm and intelligent Thai Style puts me right back into that space of peace and joy. A "Welcome Back to the Golden Land" feeling fills me. With an ear-to-ear smile and a grateful "Kap Khun Krap" I receive back the passport, all within 30 seconds. Thai Culture really is warm, kind and respectful. Absolute Winner in SE Asia, and Gold score top spot in the world really.

May Everyone Be Happy

Good news story!! 🥳 After reading all the horror stories about entry I was FULLY prepared for a showdown and a million questions when entering through BKK airport today.

I was on a connecting flight to Samui so went through the connecting flights immigration desk.

I handed in my TDAC and DTV, had ZERO questions asked, took a few mins and I now have a 6 month stamp 🥳

I hope you all have a peaceful and easy peasy entry too!

Just wanted to share my first experience on DTV.

Flew from Jakarta to DMK yesterday, the easiest process I have had. Que up, for 2 minutes, hand over DTV and TDAC form. Stamp till 13th june. And on my way.

While process including collecting luggae 15 minutes

Entered CNX yesterday on my DTV, my third entry since getting it a year ago. 0 issues, 0 questions.

I've been in Thailand since February this year (did the 6 month extension). My previous history before getting the DTV had me stopped and questioned every single entry for a couple of years.

Just left for a week to go to Hong Kong and back. They barely even looked at me at immigration when I came back, just stamped me in and waved me on.

Arrived in Bangkok on November 29 for my second entry under the DTV Digital Nomad visa. I came in from Madrid after spending 90 days traveling through Europe and Latin America.

Entry was completely smooth—about 1 minute at immigration, no questions at all. Got the full 6-month stamp again. Sharing the update in case it helps others.
