My DTV journey has finally come to a successful end (although it did take a bit longer than I hoped/expected).

Applied on March 15 in Kota Bharu, status updated to "processing approval" on March 27 and visa approved (unexpectedly) on Saturday 12 April (which according to all available information should be a day off both for the Malaysian Thai embassi and the Thai officials in Bangkok).

Upon entry to Thailand I got invited to a "private room" for a conversation but everything was very (unexpectedly) friendly, especially after the IO found out that I can communicate with him in Thai. After about a 5-10 minute chat I received my first 180 day stamp and was on my way.

Hello all, i have a question : do i already need to fill the Thailand Digital Arrival Card if i go to Thailand on the 10th of April ? I read it only starts in May but i’m not sure anymore. Thanks !

Can you use the fast track in entry for the first time? How do I order it?

So, here's something I've been wondering about. What happens at the end of the Visa period if you enter Thailand say one day before your Visa expires, will you still get 180 days or just the remaining time on your Visa? Has anyone spoken to immigration about this?

As Australian passport holder do I need to apply online for a thai visa exemption or just book the flights?

Hi guys, if I enter on a visa exempt since it’s 60 days now and no point applying for a single enter tourist visa, do I have to show accomodation for my whole trip to the IO? if I book for a few days or a week, is that okay or would they question why i havent only got accomodation booked for my whole stay? Thanks

After getting approval and send evisa , do I get my stamp upon my first visit? Anything else that I need to do?

Hi, anyone know...?

...if you already have a paper visa valid for 3 months to enter, but you just want to come first for a short trip, can you use VOA for that and leave the paper one intact for later?

Or if it is in the passport, must it be used for the next entry?

Thanks.

Arrived yesterday, received the 30 day stamp. Question : Is the TM6 still being issued by the immigration officer at point of entry at airport ? I did not get one and there is a entry in the online TM30 to enter the TM6 number.

Hello! First, I want to say thank this group for this resource being available! I've learned so much by simply reading existing posts. I do honestly wish I had discovered it a bit sooner. 😉

I have a non O-A visa related question but more about logistics, timing and situational 'what if' as time is running out, meaning my 'flight' leaves in 10 days and I'm growing more and more nervous if the e-visa will be completed on time. The referenced '15 business day minimum' has past and again, I still have 10 days left before wheels up.

So...to the question...what if my evisa does not arrive before my scheduled flight? How do I manage this, what would be the logical procedure? Do I take the scheduled flight to BKK (getting a visa exception on entry) and assuming the O-A visa will be issued (there's no reason why not) can I then simply go to an immigration office and get 'the stamp' processed like I would upon entry...or is it literally ONLY on entry and I would have to do something like leave the country and re-enter?

Thanks for any insight.
