BKK there’s a new process for all E Visa holders you do not go through the regular line. You have to go over to security at the back of the line and wait 15 to 30 minutes to get checked. Why are they making this harder? 

How long does it take to get through immigration and customs, without picking luggage at Suvarnabhumi Airport arriving at 6pm?

*update on my question*

The reason I'm asking this question, is because I have an international connecting flight 4 hours after landing, the connecting flight is not with the same airline. I have to check out and then check in with the other airline. That's why I asked if I gave myself enough time, to go through immigration and customs and then reach the check in desk at the same airport with the other airline.

Is there anyone who faced difficulties at immigration- including being asked to provide proof of tax payments or show money upon arrival?

I have been hearing some issues upon returning to Bangkok with DTV at the Suvarnabhumi Airport this week.

I’ve just had my first entry with my DTV: it was as smooth as silk in Suvarnabhumi.

Hi all just wondering if anyone had recently got a re-entry permit from Bkk ? I need to get one there as I won't be near any immigration office and I just wanted to know how much time I need to put aside to do this at the airport? Many thanks 🙏🏼

What documents I need to show at Suvarnabhumi when reentering using DTV?

Arrived Thailand 08/04/25 via Suvarnabhumi on DTV issued from Sydney, Australia. No questions, no comments, no concerns. Straight through no problems!

Edit: I forgot to say, this is my second entry into Thailand on this Visa. I read a post tow or three weeks ago by someone saying they needed to show all their DTV documents which they had on their laptop.

Can anyone tell me if it's still possible to get a re-entry permit at

Suvarnabhumi Airport and the cost please? Tks

Wanted to share my experience entering via Suvarnabhumi Airport on DTV visa.

As soon as the IO lady saw my DTV, the first question asked to me was “how long you’ll stay here?” I answered 4 months. Then she said “what will you do for 4 months?”, I said I’m a remote worker for a US company and I plan to travel and work online. She then asked me to show almost all documents I used to apply for the DTV visa. Thankfully, I had them on my laptop.

I was asked to show my Employment Contract, Employment Letter, Company registration documents, Bank statements, rent agreement for my stay in Thailand, my portfolio website. The IO lady kept noting something down on a sheet of paper. She asked why I applied for the DTV from Laos instead of my home country. I replied, “because I came to know about DTV while I was in Thailand on visa exemption already, and flight to Laos was much cheaper than a flight to my home country.” She gave me a odd look and finally was stamped for 180 days.

Overall, it seems if you’re entering on DTV, you’ll have to pass their questionings. Better have all the required documents and the required bank balance as well.

Hi anyone know of a reliable agent for Fastrack immigration at Suvarnabhumi airport? Just been quoted THB7,500 which seems on the high side. Thanks
