I recently got a new 180 day stamp into my passport (DTV). I'm renting a condo and I heard somewhere that if I leave Thailand and come back that I need a new TM30. Is that correct even though I still stay at the same place?

Hi! From the UK, currently in Thailand and travelling to Da Nang to apply for DTV. On the application it asks for a home address (I put my UK one), and then says "Is your current address different to your permanent address?"....Does the 'current address' mean a place I will be staying once in Da Nang? Little confused...Thanks in advance :)

Hello, need some advice if I may!

My DTV has been approved for arrival in May, however I wish to go to Thailand earlier will there be an issue if I use it before the date I stated in my application?

Thanks 🙏

Hi people. During this 5 year visa, do I ever have to show any documents, such as bank statements, contracts and such to re-enter the country again? OR when Its approved I only need to show the documentation that I have the approved visa?

Hey, I want to apply for DTV Muay Thai.

Is it enough if I transfer the rest of the 500k a few days before for Vietnam?

I intended to apply in Vietnam but heard Cambodia is easier.

Is Cambodia recommended for the dtv?

Hello, friends! I currently live in Thailand and will leave to get a DTV. What country would you suggest me to go to in order to get it? I've heard lots of people go to Laos and others have mentiones you've got to go to your country of origin. I'd love to hear from your experience. Thank you!

PD. I meet the requirements.
