I'm just thinking.

If someone was twice in Thailand and can't apply for long term visa as nonO, then they cannot enter Thailand. Isn't it ridiculous? Isn't it against of human rights?

Don't hate, just thinking and want to get good conversation.

Edit

This isn't a thread for arguments or trolling. It's a philosophical discussion. As humans, we have a right to the earth as a planet. Or at least, that's how it should be.

And I'm not judging. Just speaking with you but it's too hard for some haters 😂😂

The risk of a soft power DTV application is getting too much. We need clear rules on what is allowed and what isn’t. People on here guessing or saying how it ought to be is all well and good, but without official rules we’re all clueless about the validity of this 5 year visa based on soft power courses

Just got approved for the Dtv Workcation in Manila took 11 working days and multiple documentation follow ups.

JUST LANDED BANGKOK BKK

We got our stamp. The red light came on and a man came and took our passports away to check our DTV was valid.

Then came back to us and gave us a stamp within 5 minutes

For anyone with a messy passport I have 12-13 months of tourist stamps and 2 border runs and 3 extensions in 2025.

Also an ED visa from 2022

All good and no questions or asked to show any documents

It's been 1 month and 6 days...

This sucks. I applied to the New York embassy on Nov 6, on the 26th I changed to 'Pending Approval' and now it's Dec 11 and nothin has changed. How long is this going to take?!

Well, that was hard work completing the METV. Hopefully it’s approved or £150 down the drain.

Still trying to obtain bank account. Was able to open account with GSB (Government Savings Bank) but found out today that there will be a problem transferring from USA bank with Wise app. They also told me when I opened the account that I couldn’t access their mobile banking app to check deposits, balances, etc because I wasn’t a Thai citizen but I could check at ATM. I asked about mobile banking website and they said yes. Today they said website was no longer supported. Went to Krungsri bank and they couldn’t get their scanner to read chip in my 2 month old passport. They also said I couldn’t use their mobile app or their banking website because they aren’t available to anyone over 70 (seriously??). They didn’t even answer my questions about Wise transfers and annual reporting. Going to try different branch of Kasikorn with my immigration residence certificate in hand and my wife not after being rejected because she wasn’t able to exactly sign documents the same due to dementia. Does any of this crap get easier??

Why does the immigration ask whether you have a girlfriend in thailand? If you have DTV, is it a good idea to say that you have one if they pull you aside? I don't get the logic.

Border run number 3 on 9.12., land border to laos, Friendship bridge 4 near chiang rai. We went to Laos for 2minutes and come back. No question asked at thai border coming back.

I have been here now and dtv since 31.8.2024 never been asked anything on enter, I have used cambodia border 1st time, laos vientiane 2nd time, and now FB4. Every time is so easy ❤️

I always drive at the border myself, and cross the border walking with only wallrt and phone.

Dont be afraid of the trolls, dtv is cool 🥰🥰🥰

There was a posr about this FB4 borser before that they ask for every document. No, not from me.

Laos border control suggested me I dont have to enter Laos, can just go back, but I didnt want to take "the risk" of not entering another country. If I had more time, i would have tried, but I had a tight schedule for this trip

I went to Malaysia for 3 days and returned back. DMK airport. The officer only asked me to show my visa after I told him I have a DTV. I showed him the printed copy. Got 6 months entry stamp. No questions asked. Just a smile.
