Hi everyone! I first entered Thailand on August 31st on my DTV visa, and I’ll be leaving on December 1st after using the full 90 days. I plan to come back again in January on the same DTV visa (for my Soft Power Muay Thai training).

With all the recent rule changes at Thai immigration, I wanted to clarify something:

👉 If I re-enter after 1 month, will I have to show accommodation proof, training proof, or any new documents again?

👉 Or will immigration stop or question me because I’m entering again on the same visa type within a short gap?

👉 Has anyone recently re-entered on the DTV after a short exit?

Any updated experiences or advice would be really appreciated — thank you! 🙏🇹🇭

I’ve recently applied for the DTV through the Wellington Embassy (yep, I know—it’s the pricey one, but since I’m based in NZ I figured I’d give it a go).

The embassy has come back with this request:

“Other requested documents: Proof of accommodation in Thailand for the entire duration of stay is required.”

Has anyone else come across this? What did you provide?

I’ve got accommodation sorted for the first month but was planning to find an apartment once I arrive in Chiang Mai.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

Excluding weekends, it took only 7 working days for my visa to be approved. I’m honestly surprised it was this fast, but I think it’s thanks to thorough preparation. 🙏

Hey everyone, the Vienna embassy asked me for proof of accommodation for a 1 month, which is totally fine. However, I made a small mistake and sent only proof for two weeks. 🥲 I misread their requirements. Will they ask me again? Or should I try to contact them via email and send them additional 2 weeks of accommodation? Does anyone have a similar situation? Thank you

I tried to apply for tourist visa online, but they want proof of airfares in and out, as well as itinerary and a hotel booking for everyday I plan to remain in Thailand. Also 3 months of banking. I don't want to pay for a hotel in advance of my visa approval and a flight BEFORE getting a visa. Is there any other way? Thank you for any advice.

Should you rent a long term apartment BEFORE applying DTV? Is a 1 month ABNB sus?

Hello ! I'm currently writing my application on the thai e visa website, and my home city is not listed in the dropdown menu. I can put my girlfriend address but I won't have any utility bill under my name.

Question:

- Does the document indicating current location has to be at the same address than the one I put on the application

- Otherwise, what document can I provide ? Proof of accommodation + utility bill under my gf name ?

Embassy of application : Paris

Thanks !

I was in Thailand March 2025 for 10 days, then again May 2025 for 90 days, I had extension on Tourist visa. I am going back in September, flights booked for 55days

Will I have problems with immigration?

Need some advice. I applied for the DTV (Soft Power – Thai language) on July 31 and arrived in KL on August 3. So far, no updates. I called the embassy and was told:

* Proof of 6 months accommodation in Thailand is mandatory for all applicants (they’ll request it later)

* Most applicants are called in for an interview

* Processing time is usually a month

I own a condo in Thailand but don’t have the title deed or blue book with me — didn’t realize they’d be required. Given that, is it worth scrapping my KL application and restarting in Hanoi instead (same visa type)?

KL is draining. The embassy here is 100% stricter, and I’d rather not waste a month waiting for an interview that doesn’t guarantee approval. Open to any thoughts.
