I entered Thailand yesterday for the first time with DTV at DMK. I received the DTV soft power with Arun Thai cooking in Hanoi. I gave the IO my passport and printed out DTV e visa. No questions asked. Stamped me in for 180 days.

Thanks for all the useful posts and comments from this group.

Hi everyone, I applied for DTV (softpower) in Hanoi on October 6th. It's been in processing since October 9th. Awaiting approval. Is anyone in the same situation as me? In Hanoi, of course. Thanks.

UPDATE approved now🥳😍♥️🇹🇭

I applied the DTV and got rejected for a reason that seemed to be ridiculous. The reply said that my application was cancelled because when I input my name, there was one missing "-" and not exactly the same as that on my passport. Do you have similiar reject experience due to this kind of small typo difference? They took my money and kick me out just due to this easily correctable typo which I don't it can be classified as a mistake......

Is it normal that the Thai SETV system only shows the first page of PDFs?

Hey guys,

I’m applying for the Thai tourist visa (SETV) online and I’m really confused about the document upload system.

I’m doing everything from my phone (no computer available), and here’s what happened:

• I uploaded my round-trip flight ticket in one single PDF (page 1 = departure, page 2 = return).

• I also uploaded my bank statement: page 1 with the balance, then the following pages with my transactions for the last 3 months.

• But then I got an email saying that my return flight was “missing” and also that my 3-month transactions were “missing.”

The problem is that when I hit the preview button in their portal, it only shows me the first page of the PDF. I assumed the agent could download and see the whole PDF on their side… but it looks like they only check the first page??

Now I’m stuck because:

• How the hell am I supposed to put a full bank statement (3 months of transactions) into one single page? That’s literally impossible unless I photoshop a collage.

• I already uploaded complete documents, but they still asked me again as if I didn’t.

Is this normal? Can the officers actually download and see the full PDF, or do they really only check page 1? Anyone else had the same issue doing the application from mobile?

Hello people who have applied in Kuala Lumpur for the DTV soft power? I would like to know for the DTV soft power application, if they ask for the same documents that are requested on the official website? Because some say that it is strict. I would like to have feedback from people who have applied for it. Thank you

Was asked to show my bank account at the check in desk “airline” at Hanoi airport heading back to Bangkok has anyone had this too? Or is it a new thing? I have a soft paper visa

Recently renewed my Retirement extension at the Korat office. This form was among the package. New to me. Item 2. Any thoughts?

I’m curious whether any of you in the US have had difficulty getting your doctor to sign the Thai Consulate’s Medical Certificate form for the Non Immigrant OA Visa application.

Has anyone heard or DTV holders being interrogated upon re entry at Suvarnabhumi international airport, being asked to show 20k baht in cash, etc., or all smooth reentry stories? It will be my fourth entry on DTV and I know visa waiver folks are getting a lot of trouble with repeat entries - haven't heard stories like that of DTV holders yet, but wondering if anyone has. Thanks :)

Lots of posts about buying/investing in Thailand.

This article (just a screen dump) shows it’s a rocky road.

In my humble view, invest in the market you know and mostly that’s your home country.

Up to you
