Has anyone recently entered the country with a DTV visa after a history of exempt visas with the new regulations?

Any recorded problems entering with DTV by plane these days?

Hi, I applied for my 90-day report online, but it was rejected one day before the due date. I then went to immigration, and they told me to transfer my visa from my old passport to my new one first (since I had recently renewed my passport). It took me two days to complete all the required documents because I also needed a letter from my embassy. Yesterday, I finally went to transfer my visa, and I asked the 90-day counter to give me a token — even if it was the last one — so I could complete my 90-day report after the visa transfer. However, they told me to finish the transfer process first. I completed it around 5:30 p.m. Now my question is: will I be fined since it’s already been five days past the 90-day reporting deadline?

Did anyone change a DTV to a Non-B/Work Permit Within Thailand and what was the cost and how complicated the process?! Thanks

Soft Power Application (Hanoi):

I'm planning on applying with Muay Thai and would like to give my application the best chance of getting approved.

I have the seasoned 500k in an unused personal account, and while I know income isn't technically a requirement for soft power, I'd like to provide something since I hear thing are getting more strict.

For the past 2-3 years I've been receiving a monthly allowance (3k usd) from my parents (bless them) and can show regular monthly deposits into an active account (different from the 500k account).

My questions are...

Would providing bank statements of the account my parents send the 3k from each month be helpful?

Would it also be good to include a letter from my parents stating where the 3k each month comes (pension and investments), so the embassy can have confidence of me not working in the country?

Or is all that overkill and it's better to just provide my bank statements and explain my situation in the cover letter?

Appreciations!

Hi everyone, I've been renewing my marriage-based extension annually for a few years now. At my appointment yesterday, for the first time ever, the Immigration Officer asked me to get a fingerprint and a clearance report. They gave me a letter to submit and get back once it's ready.

Has anyone else experienced this recently? Is this a new standard procedure, or could it be a random check?

Any insight would be appreciated!

Hi anyone know what paperwork needed to transfer non o stamp from old passport to new passport thanks

First 90 day report question: I just arrived in BKK, My tm30 is registered to my apartment in BKK. Can I do my 90 day report in person at Immigration in Chiang Mai? Or do I have to show up at immigration in BKK? I won’t be able to get an appointment In BKK before I go to Chiang Mai and i sure as hek don’t want to be there without an appointment. Can I do it in Chiang Mai? Or should I just take the 2k fine next time I have to file? Of course I want to respect all rules, but sometimes there are circumstances where you have to find a solution. Thank you. 🙏

Mods, feel free to delete if this is too off topic. I have a question about visa transitions. If I did an ED visa to learn Thai, but wanted to transition to the DTV soft power eventually, would I get denied if I used the same school for both visas?

For context, I am trying to move by a certain time frame. In order to meet the 500k baht requirement, I need to sell all my things, but I would need that money in the bank for at least 3 months. So I figure, if I did an ED visa, I wouldn't have to meet that requirement, and it would give me time for my money to sit in my bank account long enough to then apply for the DTV visa.

I want to do the soft power DTV to learn Thai, but I'm curious if that will look weird or bad going from an ED visa to DTV with the same school or if that's even allowed.

Any insight is welcome! Thanks in advance.

I am coming to Thailand with a non-O visa, valid for 90 days, applied from Belgium. I must complete the TDAC form no later than three days before arriving in Thailand. Upon arrival in Thailand, I must report to immigration within 24 hours with a TM30 document. With my passport and proof of residence, I can open a bank account with the aim of applying for a one-year extension. My question: If, during my 90-day stay in Thailand, I travel to Cambodia with my girlfriend for a week and then return to Thailand, do I need to complete a new TDAC form before arriving in Cambodia and also before returning to Thailand? Do I need to have a new TM30 document completed upon returning to Thailand? Will my non-O visa remain valid? Do I need to report to immigration again? Thank you in advance for the information.

Hi all. New to this and learning a lot. My question is regarding the soft power DTV.  I believe if granted it covers you for five years, but you need to check in every six months to extend. Does that mean that you need to be enrolled in one of the soft power activities every time you check in?
