On January 12th, I left Phuket airport for the second time with DTV visa, after 26 days in Thailand. The officer spent a long time reading something on the screen and asked me what my activity in Thailand was. I replied that, as a teleworker, I had worked those days for my company in Spain. Why this question? Has anything changed with DTV?
Australian citizen, just used my DTV for my second entry into Thailand.
Both times I've been interrogated about my accomodation in Thailand, and this time the immigration officer seemed quite hostile and asked me for exit date, if I have a Thai wife, if I live in Cambodia (that's the consulate I asked for my DTV), what was I doing in Cambodia, and if I'm working in Thailand.
Could I be doing something wrong to attract all this attention? I don't mind a few questions, but I thought I'd got a valid visa in accordance with Thai immigration rules.
So far it has caused more scrutiny than just using a visa waiver.
I arrived in Thailand on a DTV Visa, but my experience with the immigration officer was quite frustrating. The officer asked me seemingly irrelevant questions, such as, 'What are you doing here?' I explained that I work online and came to stay in Thailand. Then he asked, 'Why don’t you live in your own country and work there?' I responded that I enjoy living in Thailand. Lastly, he questioned why I applied for my visa in another country instead of my home country. The whole interaction felt unnecessarily complicated.
Hi guys, I have a really silly doubt that just popped into my head, on September 26th my DTV visa was approved, I know I have 3 months to validate it, my flight is on December 13th, my doubt is: are 90 actual days valid or is the third month counted as a whole starting from December 1st? thanks a lot!
Looking for clarification on how to fill out my application for the DTV visa, applying in Jakarta:
For “current address” - is that my hotel in Jakarta, the house I rented in Thailand (rented until next year), or or my permanent address back home in USA? — if I should put my Thai address, then I assume the next question, “Permanent address, if different from above” should be answered with my permanent address in USA?
For “date of previous visit to Thailand: would I answer with my last entry date or exit date?
I have a USA passport - How should I answer “countries for which travel document is valid”?
And finally, for “Name and Address of Local Guarantor” and “Name and Address of Local Guarantor in Thailand” — do these need to be filled in?
Thanks in advance for reading and any clarification you can provide!
