2.15pm - DTV Visa Approval

When I crossed the border, I showed Thai Immigration my visa via phone. But she never bothered to look, because their system already showed DTV.

Sharing my experience with my first 90-Day Report at Koh Samui Immigration! It was super quick—took only 15 minutes (though it might depend on the day). I just submitted my original passport, TM30, and a printed copy of my DTV E-Visa. After that, they told me to head upstairs, waited about 5-7 minutes, and it was all done! Smooth process, no hassle. Hope this helps anyone preparing for theirs! 🙏

Egyptian applied from Vietnam soft power no single question just stamp without even look to me

Arrived in BKK (DMK)

Lady IO just asked me to scan my fingers and in 2 seconds, all done.

Good luck you guys!

For those curious about re-entry on DTV - I came through BKK, had my printed Evisa, the only question asked was if this was my first time returning on the visa. Quick and easy! Props to 🇹🇭 for the best visa in SEA.

Banks? I live in Karon Beach. I just received my. Non-O immigrant visa. Next is to open a bank account. I assume it probably would be a branch in Patong.

Do people have a Bank to recommend?

Bangkok ? Kasikorn?

I guess I’m looking for decent customer . Also if I put ฿800,000 in there for a year, I would like to get some kind of return

Suggestions 

Has anyone with a DTV visa successfully extended it another 180 days without leaving Thailand? If so, what were the process, costs and requirements? Is it similar to the tourist visa extension where you fill out a request, supply photos and pay 1900 baht?

Update to getting my “Annual Reporting” done for the LTR-WP Visa.

One-Stop Service Center (Chamchuri Square Building) has now relocated to a new office at One Bangkok Building (6th-7th Floor, Parade zone) under the name of Thailand Investment and Expat Services Center (TIESC).

Up to the 5th floor in the Street Food Court u will find an escalator going up to 6th floor.

Showed up at exactly 11:05p today. Checked in at window D1 and presented my TM.95 form filled out, passport and 1-Year report notification card that was in my passport. Was given and ticket and watched for my number to be called. Was only one person ahead of me and I was next in line and handed her my papers and passport. Handed me my receipt in about 60 seconds flat and told to report back in 1 year.

Arrived 11:05pm and had my receipt at 11:09pm. Took just 4 minutes and was crazy quick.

Hello! Good morning 🌞

My husband has been approved for DTV, I am considering applying for the DTV as spouse of DTV holder (we will add our kids as well at some

Point) anyone had any experience with this? Any advise? Thank you 🙏🔆

Does anyone know the DTV visa cancellation process?

I got the DTV visa 5 months ago. I’m in Thailand now and I’ve got job offer and have to apply for Non-B visa and work permit.

Please share me any experiences if anyone have gone through the process. 🙏
