I've just received my new passport, because the old one has expired. The embassy officers intentionally damaged the old one - they cut it and punched holes in it. Is it like it should be done? Will the Thai officers at the airport understand it?

Do I need to print out the DTV page for immigration?

I’m heading to Thailand tomorrow and just realized I misplaced my printed out DTV, and no printer. Do I need to have it printed out for immigration at the airport? Or is it already in their system?

Hi guys. What additional documents do they want to see for the DTV?

They state: "Please provide details about your current work, including (1) your CV or portfolio, and (2) examples of your work, along with any supporting materials that demonstrate your experience and qualifications."

I am confused: I already provided a letter mentioning that I am a business owner/property manager and manage an airbnb in NYC. I provided the listing and a proof of income for 2024 & YTD 2025. I also provided the documents of my LLC.

Any insight would be appreciated. Thank you!

Just a few Questions Regarding DTV Visa

Just spent 7 months out the last 12 Months in Thailand 😍 only been back a week and missing it 😂

I will be applying from the UK

1. Does the 500,000 Baht have to be in your bank account for 3 Months and show on your statements it’s been there for 3 months or Longer? Or can you make a transfer into your account before you submit the application?

2. Is the 500,000 Baht in your bank account checked on arrival in Thailand after being approved?

3. Been seeing and hearing you have to also show that 500,000 Baht on 90 Day Check In - Re entry After 180 Days

4. If I wasn’t to have the 500,000 baht in my account how does the sponsorship letter work?
