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!

Probably been asked but has anyone manged to renue licenses from 2 to 5 year using DTV or a agent pattaya area?

Bangkok bank would give me a bank account on a dtv

If i took out There insurance product minimum term 3 years

About 57000 baht a year with majority returned after 3 years

Not really interested as i can use my wife's account for free and my wise account

Will we need to fill out the digital arrival card if we plan to arrive on the DTV after May 1st.

Good day dear fellows,

Just to clarify one situation to assess my situation if need dtv or not yet..

Scenario:

1-)10 April entry, 20 april exit.

2-)27 April entry, 01 june exit.

3-) 15 June entry, 10 July exit.

Each entry probably one or two month visa exemption stamp will be put on passport however i will not use all days assigned to me. I will stay as a tourist but time to time need do dubai or europe for business.

Appreciated for any useful comment..

I tried to search in the previous posts but it's kinda unclear. I'm considering quitting my job and spend 6 months up to a few years in thailand/traveling. I CAN'T buy an elite visa but I have more than 500k in the bank. I thought of DTV but since I'm going to quit my job, I believe that my boss won't help me with this task. (I teach in person). I read about some folks applying to DTV for medical reasons and all they had to do is just showing the embassy they booked an appointment at a hospital and their bank account. Does that really work and how it works? I could eventually point out I need to do some dental crowns but not sure if that'd be enough. Do you guys have any advice?

So I have been living and working in Japan for around 15 years or so, but have never really needed to get my PR, so haven't gone down that route. I have a spouse visa though. Does anyone know if this is going to be good enough to apply for the DTV in Tokyo or is it strictly PR? Can anyone with experience please share their insights? I've read mixed reports, but mostly stating PR is a must. TIA!
