I’m waiting for my DTV to be approved but let’s say it will be approved and in the application I’ve said I’ll arrive to BKK in end of December but now I’m in Malaysia and want to do a trip to Indonesia, can I fly to Indonesia until that date I have said I going to BKK? Is there any restrictions where I must fly from into BKK with the DTV visa? If I said I will come on end December can I also come later than that?

Hey everyone!

I had a quick question about travel patterns and Thai immigration.

I’m a U.S.-based flight attendant, so I want to spend about 14 days in Thailand each month for rest and leisure between my work rotations. I fly back to the U.S. regularly and always have return tickets, plus I stay in hotels or Airbnbs during my visits.

I actually contacted the immigration office in Thailand about the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) and was told I’m not eligible since I’m considered flight crew, not a remote worker.

So I’m just wondering — for those who’ve been in and out of Thailand frequently, how would a pattern like mine (14 days every month) look to immigration officers? Would that seem fine as frequent travel, or could it eventually raise flags?

I’d love to hear from anyone who’s done something similar or has experience with multiple short stays throughout the year.

Thanks in advance for any insight!

E visa issued yesterday in Hanoi.

Australian passport holder.

Previous visa 12 month ( really 9 month Muay Thai Education) .

Just came through Thailand Immigration.

No issues no questions.

Did give printed e-visa a good look over ( yes printed like the sign says at immigration check point.)

Stamp to 26 April 2026

(yes was a young female IO - No problems)

Hope this answers some questions

Does anyone have experiences with a OA VISA?

After submitting your application, you will receive an email confirming the approval of your OA visa. Will you receive a visa stamp in your passport upon arrival at the airport, valid for one year? Or how exactly does that work??

Thank you for any useful and good information 😊🙏😊

Great! After months of preparation for my application, I just got this funny stamp while exiting Thailand. I was supposed to leave on Oct 22, but am leaving today 23 because my exit day was not clear, as you all can see.

Now I have one more thing to worry about, even though this is technically not an overstay (?). That's what I was told by the immigration officer. They said this is just a 24h notice to leave the country.😮‍💨

Anyone had one of these on the passport and still was successful on your DTV application?

Hello everyone I will be coming back into Bangkok on the 25th after leaving before my 180 days. It’s been a little over a month.

My question is, what documents have they asked others coming back into country on a soft power visa.

I have a soft power muai Thai corse but never renewed it yet.

Just arrived at SUV was my fourth exit and re entry on DTV in the last 18 months, very easy just showed TDAC on my phone and that was it 2 mins max!

Hi, so a friend got his DTV and through no fault of his own, will not be able to come to Thailand for a while. Maybe 1 year. He went through the Muay Thai training camp approach. This will be cancelled now.

He basically wants to know if he can use the visa still? Will questions be asked if used it for the occasional long break and maybe some Training? TIA

Hi everyone, quick question - do I need to show a return ticket, when I enter Thailand on the DTV?

Thanks

Hello friends,

interesting question.

If my departure and arrival date is at the end of January and of course the end of June each year. Let's say I decided to leave and enter at the end of December. How is the renewal carried out? Starting from the moment I returned for another six months? Or is it not valid at all for renewal because I did not leave on time?

I hope I was able to explain
