Coming into Thailand soon with an approved DTV. I hear CMX is a bit more complicated than BKK.

Has anyone come in recently into Thailand and was questioned? If so, which airport did you come into?

(I also used to be on an ED visa and spent a lot of time in Thailand)

Hi everyone, just wanted to say thanks to all of you in this group for the wealth of information and great sense of community 🙏🏼🙏🏼 It helped me during my process immensely!

Got into Thailand today on a soft power (Muay Thai) DTV that I applied for myself through Ho Chi Minh City.

Would love to pay it forward and help out anyone else in a similar situation who might have questions about the process 😁

Hi, I'm a bit confused about my experience with the DTV visa in Thailand. I've entered Bangkok three times already, and the first time was smooth with no issues. However, the next two times, I encountered some questioning at immigration.

After my first entry in February, I traveled to Singapore in April and stayed for three weeks. When I returned to Bangkok, a female officer asked about my purpose for visiting Thailand. I explained that I'm taking cooking classes and showed her some photos. She also asked about my return flight to my home country.

When I returned from Singapore again in May, I encountered another female officer who asked why I applied for the DTV visa in Hanoi. I explained that it's for cooking classes and mentioned that I have a sister here. She asked for my return flight ticket, which I showed her, and then stamped my passport.

I'm wondering why I'm being questioned despite having a DTV visa. Should I mention my one-year condo lease in Bangkok during future entries? For context, I'm not working, and I visit Singapore regularly because my partner works there. Since we're not married, I opted for the DTV visa as it's more convenient for me to stay in Thailand than fly back to my home country, which is a four-hour flight. TIA.🙏

I'm trying to apply for a DTV visa for soft Sports (Muay thai). And I have some questions:

- Occupation: Is there any problem for saying unemployed? Is It better to Mark employed? Or any other option is better?

- Date of departure: It has to be any Date before I have spent 180 days in Thailand?

- Accomodation in Thailand: contact telephone, is the the telephone fron the hostel?

- Is there any problem if I Cross yes on the question ¿Have you asked before for a Thai visa? (I requested time ago for a tourist visa)

- Document indicating current location: What can I upload?

- Financial evidente: Is It okay a bank statement of an spanish bank account or does It need to be Thai?

- Proof of confirmation to attend the activity: Can It be any Muay Thai gym from Thailand, what Document I need from them?

Thank you!!

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.
