Hi tomorrow I will fly to Suvarnabhumi after I was 3 weeks away. Would I get issues with DTV? Last time they brought a supervisor and after questioning a bit she said it's good you have DTV but why the first officer is not looking at that then? I thought DTV entry was low risk.

Should I show the officer the stamped visa inside the passport? Mine is not e-visa.

I applied for my DTV through an agency. After it was approved, I entered the country by bus. At immigration, the officer was about to give me only 60 days, even though I had received a PDF confirmation from the agency. After I showed the officer the PDF, I was finally granted the DTV. How is it possible that it wasn’t showing up in the system?

When you get confirmation about DTV from UK embassy do you need to go and get passport stamped or is it sent by email confirmation.

Friendly reminder, check your stamp when entering Thailand. I completed my first visa run and they only gave me 60 days. I went to immigration the next morning and was told it would take 2-3 days to fix. They sent me to immigration at the airport for faster service. So, I did that and it was resolved in 20 minutes. So save the trouble, and look at the stamp before walking away from the immigration officer when entering Thailand.

Full disclosure, I didn't present my printed visa to the officer because I know he can see the visa on the computer when he scans my passport. He just didn't notice it on the computer. Lesson learned for me.

I have a guest coming to visit me. I rent a house. What docs do I need to provide my friend for passport control?

He is flying in from the USA and will enter via passport waiver.

Thanks

Hi Guys. What Do I need at entry at the airport?

(is there anything else than TDAC and the QR code of my approved DTV?)

Hey guys, I need some advice on a dual passport issue.

I have Israeli and French passports. Been in Thailand 2 years on a Non-B visa with the Israeli one, now switching to a student visa. The visa office asked me to re-enter with my French passport.

Problem: my flights are already booked like this:

-Chiang Mai → BKK → Vietnam (Israeli)

-Vietnam → BKK (French)

-BKK → Chiang Mai (Israeli) (booked this one long ago thats why its on israeli)

Goal is to enter Thailand on the French passport, but the flights are mixed. Did I mess up?

Since my tickets from Vietnam in on my french one ill need to enter Vietnam with my french one too isnt it?

Recent experience entering on my DTV visa 3rd entry. I was returning from Vientiane Laos by land before flying from Udon Thani Airport. During my land crossing I was asked to go to the back and see the supervisor. No questions about purpose of my trip just looked through passport and sent back. I walked to the back room sat down handed the supervisor my passport. He looked quickly and said do you have a visa? I said yes it's in my passport. Apparently both him and the first immigration missed the physical copy of my DTV inside my passport. I asked him to hand me my passport opened and showed him the DTV. He took my passport back stamped me and told me have a good trip. Zero questions about current activities or purpose of visit. I had my TDAC done as well and they didn't ask for my QR code. So all in all if they had seen my visa most likely would have just waved me in. Next time I'll just make sure my passport is open to the DTV page not my bio data page when I hand it to them.

Hi. I will be applying for DTV next week, how do I prove that I am in the UK ? I returned from Thailand in April and passport control did not stamp my passport. I think I have everything else covered 🙏 thank you in advance for your support. And anything else that can trip me up ?

First entry on my DTV via Bangkok Suvarnabhumi. Gave my passport, boarding pass and my cute little passport-size laminated DTV. The latter seemed to raise concern of the officer, she pressed the yellow button and I was pulled aside. Two other officers came, one checked the visa on her mobile terminal, another one invited me to a closed desk. Scanned my passport a few times, scanned my fingerprints twice (obviously something wasn’t working properly with the computer) then asked for TDAC. Checked the printed form, retyped my accommodation address, and stamped me in for 180 days.

Generally nice, easy and calm process.

Thanks again for this group for helping me out on each and every stage of the process of obtaining the visa!
