has anyone used Padang Besar border crossing in malaysia with Dtv successfully? I’m especially interested in knowing if same day returns are ok.

Hi everyone . I have a valid DTV visa and will be leaving Thailand and re-entering by land soon.

Last time I re-entered by plane, immigration didn’t ask for anything other than my DTV visa. It was quick and smooth.

This time, since I’ll be entering via a land border (VIA Padang Besar, Malaysia) I just wanted to ask:

Has anyone ever been asked to show proof of funds when re-entering with a valid DTV visa?

And if so, would a brokerage investment account be accepted, or does it need to be a traditional bank account, like what was required for the initial application?

Thanks for any firsthand experience or advice!

Good morning,

we are travelling from Malaysia to Thailand within the next days by train via Padang Besar. We are from a visa exemption country and have both been in Thailand within the last 30 days. Some websites state that we need to get a visa at the Thai embassy. My understanding is that we can just get stamped in at the border at Padang Besar. But I wanted to double check as we find different information on the web on entering Thailand by land from Malaysia. Thanks for your help.

/update: no problem, no questions. Thanks for your advice and experiences 🙏
