Is it possible to receive your DTV granted and then enter Thailand at a later time? I've read 3 months is the limit from visa granted to first entry into Thailand but are they strict on this? I haven't found much information about this on this group or on official sites. Can anyone advise from their experience or point me where to find more information

Hi all,

Has anyone here applied for the DTV in Vientiane, Laos? I’m planning to start the process on Monday and would really appreciate hearing from anyone who’s done it there. 🙏🙏I’ve seen a lot of people applying from Vietnam, Cambodia, or Bali, but not so much from Laos.

Returned yesterday from Cambodja at Poipet border crossing.

Imigration officer gave me 90 days and not 180 days , even after I told it was 180. Some still need to get used to DTV.

No problem for the rest. And i leave Thailand again in 30 days , so has no influence.

I’m curious about if I’d qualify for a DTV visa, I do not work online but own rental properties. Would this be considered for making income outside of Thailand? Or would it be best to apply for a DTV visa for language? I’m interested in learning Thai!

Thanks 😊

How do you report a crime when outside of Thailand?

Someone has (apparently) checked into a hotel using a copy of my passport and used my Accor points to pay for the stay.

Yesterday the staff told me it was an Indian guy with a different name who checked in, but they changed their story today and said it was my details (they cant give more info due to PDPA). I think they are lying about the passport, but need to report this to Patong police.

How do I go about this?

Thanks

TDAC - OK so my reading of it is that from May 1st you must submit an online TDAC, this can be done no sooner than three days before arrival but can be done any time within 3 days of arrival, so you could literally get off the plane in Thailand and make your submission before you get to passport control / immigration. As long as you get your email confirmation of TDAC before you get in front of the IO you are good to go? Is that the correct interpretation of it? TIA
