Hi I am a bit green at this travelling to Thailand from the UK but have seen some posts of people getting turned away at immigration because to many visits in a short time and it has me worried a bit. I came to Thailand to visit my girlfriend in May for 20 days, then i booked for to come back for 28 days in November, but then she asked me to come back in september for my birthday, i am only staying for 13 days then. My question is will i have a problem coming back in November as it will only be 6 weeks between my visits, any answers will be appreciated cheers Steve

Guys don't EVER do the DTV in Turkey (Ankara embassy) terribly slow. its been over 2 weeks and re-sumbitted bank and photo 2x. hoping not a 3rd time, especially since this isnt my home country.

How many multiple entries in a multiple entry? Ok I know its a stupid question but one that is in the back of my head. My fiance' (a Thai citizen) and I are taking full advantage of the multiple entry of my DTV, since I originally arrived I've left Thailand six times, sometimes for a day or two. Comeing back is going through immigration again, new TM30 (which I do myeslf at her house) new stamp, extension in the six months in my passport. I'll admit I'm a worrier. But it only takes one inquisitive immigration officer, one note in the computer, one denied entry, one major suspicion and it could all be over. They can cancel your DTV at will. Now my fiance' says not to worry, she's a corporate banker and some of her colleages are leaving the country weekly sometimes more. But they're Thai citizens its a compltely different situaiton. So am I worrying for nothing? I've never once been questioned, just stamped through.

Land of smiles? Not at BKK Suvarnabhumi airport.

History;

2023- 1 x visit of 28 days and 1 visit on VISA for 56 days.

2024- 2 visits of 29 days

2025- decide to travel around Asia for 6 months. Arrive BKK 28/1. 2 months visa exempt and 1 month extension. Visited many cities and places. Then flew to Cambodia and Vietnam for 2 months as never been before.

25/6 - fly back to BKK. TDAC all completed, flight to Europe on 22 July, so less than 1 month.

Immigration woman told me I will not be allowed entry. I asked why not, she said you've just done a border bounce and you're not a tourist! ( border bounce for 2 months lol)

No. No entry. So she called a supervisor, who saw my visas etc for cambodia and Vietnam. Showed him a list of cities and places i had visited, and my return flight to Europe. He asked why i had extended before and i told him honestly, i was going to visit the south chumphon and Hat Yai. He agreed that I was a tourist, and told the woman immigration officer to let me in. He then left.

Her face was like thunder, you could see the anger in her face.

As she returned my passport she said, you're not allowed in Thailand again without a visa!

I know it's IO decision, but with my history and never a border bounce, I find her attitude and decision harsh? Any views welcomed , especially as the amount of people who abuse the V.E and border bounce regularly. Maybe it's these abusers, ruining it for genuine travellers

Is it a good idea to apply for dtv in Phnom Pen considering the potential war beginning between Thailand and Cambodia ?

[members only]/ - is it a real site? I opened an application for the DTV visa, paid, was asked for more info - but can't get into the site ever again and the verification email never comes, not even into spam. Now it says the pw is wrong so reset pw but again the verification email never comes, not even into spam. I called all the numbers in London and Thailand, emailed all the emails and used messenger...what to do? Do they exist? Or are they a scam?

Trying to complete TDAC form online and "Accommodation Information" is not accepting inputs but am able to complete.

Submitted without accommodation and received email with arrival card???

This might effect some DTV holders. Basically your ID and Sim must align with your Bank Account.

I did my first online 90 report yesterday, and I've noticed it still states that it is pending when I look at my visa status. Is this normal, and how long does it usually take to get approved?
