Hello, I am currently applying for a DTV visa in Vientiane. I would like to ask what “vertical position” means and how I should take the photo. I’m a bit confused. Could someone kindly demonstrate? Does this mean I need to photograph the entire passport?

I arrived today having already completed the TDAC, I was emailed the qr code which I assume would be scanned. The I.O. said it was already on record and no need to scan it ?

Hi everyone,

Has anyone encountered this message when applying for the DTV after uploading their passport scan?

“Biodata page of travel document – We are unable to retrieve data from the MRZ. Please enter your travel document’s biographic information manually.”

Does this mean my passport scan isn’t clear enough? I used a scanner, and it looks clear to me and has high definition even after zooming in so I wonder why it couldn’t read the information from it 🙏🏻

Hi members..

Flying in Thailand soon next couple weeks. Coming in on my Passport hopefully it's still 60 days. Then get a 30 extension at Khon Kaen immigration. It's a return ticket from Thai Airways.

Sydney to Khon Kaen is where I'll be staying all the time. With the incoming online form you do 3 days before.. You fill it out and send it in. Then you get confirmation email back.

What do you do with at BBK.

Are there scanners that you use before you get to immigration or do you scan when you scan passport.

All new to me...

so with TDAC can do on your laptop not neccessarily smartphone because once TDAC completed and email received all have to do is show passport on arrival??

Yesterday I was asked for a scan of all pages of my passport. I took a black and white scan with my phone and scanning app, which I then compressed online to get under 3MB.

Today I was asked for the 'original' scan of all pages of my passport.

Has anyone else had this? Is it likely to be because the file included the word 'compressed' or because it was black and white rather than greyscale?

An automated system how will they check my visa?

Hi guys, this is a question for the very few "ultra" specialists among you....

I live in Thailand with a non OA multi entry based on being over 50...I went to Singapore for a few days and came back today by plane at Don Mueng. Getting through immigration went extremely smooth as the officer didn't even look at me or ask me any question whatsoever... He stamped my passport and the TM6 in the proper manner allowing me 1 year of stay as expected...

But before giving me back the passport and TM6 he decided, using his own private (I suppose) telephone to make pictures of my passport, photo page and visa plus a picture of visa and full TM6 together .... I guess he didn't need to have my picture for himself so the question is :

Since they have all computerised records of the documents why would the officer need to take such pictures 🤔🤔🤔

Not sure when this began, sometime within the last 30 days, but now when you enter Building B at The Government Complex there is an officer who scans your passport with a computer before you go through the metal detector, instead of signing in the book. Thai citizens show their National I.D. Card.
