Hi everyone, quick question - do I need to show a return ticket, when I enter Thailand on the DTV?

Thanks

Is a return flight required on the TDAC with a DTV? I had been in the country on a DTV prior to that taking effect. I've just returned to the US and will be going back to Thailand next month. I saw it was not a required field on the form but wasn't sure if anyone had problems with just a one way ticket.

Thanks everybody for the information.

Hello. I've been traveling to Thailand for 6 weeks at a time (I work abroad, 6 on, 6 off) and have just come across the 180 day tax requirement. But I have some questions... I do not have and do not want or need a Thai bank account. I pay US taxes but will be qualified to have my income covered by the foreign income tax credit this year, so I shouldn't owe anything other than the SS / medicaid. Given these factors, do I still need to pay taxes or file anything in Thailand since I'm arguably not bringing money into a Thai account? I'm interested in applying for the DTV so it'll make my leave breaks easier but I'm not sure if I can as an independent contractor or if this would complicate tax issues..

I just want to make sure I'm doing everything legally but also don't end up paying Thai taxes if I don't even need to pay US taxes.

I'd like to ask if anyone has got their DTV in one country and added/applied dependants to the DTV from a different country? We've been waiting weeks for the Canberra office in Australia and have flights booked. Their website says ten working days and we called to confirm but gave ourselves an extra few weeks after those ten days to as apply for the dependant visas but STILL don't have the DTV 😭

We need to be out of Australia and thinking of applying in Penang for the dependant visas. Will this be an issue?

I’m a US citizen currently working remotely from Ethiopia & am trying to apply for a DTV. I’ve two dependents (wife & kid) that are both Ethiopian citizens. How do I go about this?

Do I apply as if I’m living in Ethiopia (in which case the application apparently is handled by the consulate in Niarobi) or do I apply as if I’m living in the US. If the latter then would the consulate in the US also handle the case for my wife/kid although they aren’t a US resident?

A new Foreign Affairs minister has been appointed. I hope he keeps the DTV intact.

EDIT: Thanks for all the replies guys! Didn’t see the Ottawa website saying 2 months. Only saw the 3 months one when I was applying on thaievisa 😅🙏 Now, we wait for October whew

So, I applied on September 7th and just received this today (Sept 17th). I already replied them asking for more information cause I’m not entirely certain I understood 😅

So on the website, it says to apply minimum 3 months prior hence why I applied in September for my trip in December.

And this part got me the most confused: “If the visa were to be issued now, it would no longer be valid by your planned travel date.”

What do they mean by that? I thought it was valid for 5 years if approved? Can someone help me please. Thank you 🙏

(Idk if this is relevant but I’m applying from Canada for Workcation)

1 September i applied, then 10 September got request for additional documents(visa in Indonesia, and proof of stay in Indonesia), then I got a pending approval status today(11 Sept), but just two hours later, it changed to “Rejected.” What could be the issue? I had 500k in my account for three months, and I also have a remote job with a contract, so my finances are stable. They didn’t specify the reason for the rejection, no explanation was provided. This was at the Jakarta embassy.

On the soft Power visa, if I book six months of muay thai/cooking classes for my application, what happens after six months when I get through the immigration? Do I need to show a proof of six more months booked?

First time entering Thailand on a DTV. Can I use the Laos–Thailand border crossing for entry? Will there be any issues getting the 6 month stamp?
