Is there a way to save your TDAC info for re-use? For regular re-entry its quite cumbersome to complete the whole form every time

I was wondering how much the new immigration law affects DTV visa holders.

Is there anything we should be aware of, and if so, when should we proceed?

If this topic has already been discussed, please feel free to point me to the relevant post.

Thanks in advance!

I am applying from Vietnam and I was asked to translate my documents. I went to 2 translations office and they both told me very high prices (115€ for what I need). But the guy that I talked to told me it’s very common for this type of demand that I translate the document myself and they just put their stamp on it. I’m a bit scared, what do you guys think ?

Printed my DTV Visa with passport size and laminated it so easy to carry and show if needed 😅

Today the first time I enter Thailand via DMK and I will update in the comment section 🙌

Happy Travelling to Thailand everyone!

Hey guys

I submitted my DTV from Ho Chi Minh

I only put 7 days on my evisa for Vietnam, which was stupid because I will now likely have to leave if my dtv isn’t approved by then.

Here are my questions

Do I have to stay in Vietnam for the entirety of the approval process? Or am I allowed to leave

And if I have to stay, can I do a land or air border run and will it affect my application?

Many thanks!

My visa is up at the end of July so I was looking into extending my 180 days but it seems from all the fb groups and reddit its pretty painful and almost like trying to reapply again with all the updated paperwork. So I think people are just opting to leave Thailand and come back again which seems like an easier choice but a bit more expensive. Has anyone done the DTV visa run from Koh Samui to Singapore yet? Every time I go to Samui I just walk off the plane I have never seen the Visa entry area? lol
