Arrived into BKK (Suvarnabhumi) this morning. There was a long queue. When I reach the IO, from me giving her my passport to her handing it back to me: took less than 2 minutes! Unbelievable. She was super fast. Zero questions asked! This was my 10th entry (3 entries into DMK, 7th entry into BKK, yeah I'm in and out a lot) and all 10 entries have had ZERO questions asked. Pro tip: give the IO your passport+visa printout+boarding pass all at the same time. That pretty much guarantees you won't be asked anything. TDAC is auto-displayed on her monitor when she scans your passport.

DTV Update from CNX today 9/5 noon.

There were 2 international flights that arrived together.

The lines were pretty short and I waited 5 minutes.

The IO looked at my DTV and stamped me in for 180 days. He asked no questions.

Customs was closed and the bags came out quickly.

Easy peasy!

Let me share my latest experience. I spent 4 days in Vietnam and returned to Bangkok yesterday. Upon entry, I showed the DTV visa on my phone, which they compared with the data on their computer. I received a new 6-month stamp without a word, nobody asked me any questions, and the whole process took about 2 minutes.

Hello fellow DTVers. I normally don't write posts myself, but due to the massive fear mongering of some, I'll share my experience today. I entered trhu Don Mueang Airport today, it's like the 8th or so time since I got my DTV in October. I had exited trhu Don Mueang before, but this was the first time I didn't enter trhu Suvarnabhumi.

As always, less than 5 minutes, no question asked, and a 180 days stamp received.

Mine is a remote worker one, if that matters.

As titled. The officer first asked what did i do here and I mentioned being a digital nomad under DTV Visa. She asked for proof of work which I showed her my latest invoices with my clients. She was only happy when the invoices show the billing in the previous months so I reckon a contract would have worked better.

I then asked her if it was a new regulation to provide the documents before entry, she said no and mentioned it’d be better for me to have them since DTV is a long term visa.

Just enterd Thailand trough Bangkok airport first time with the DTV visa. printed the dtv, and dtac. Handed it too the officer. She did not ask me anything. Also not about my student visa before 🙂

I just did my second entry on the DTV today after being out of Thailand for 11 days.

The immigration officer - a very young lady - didn’t ask me any questions. I simply greeted her with Sawasdee krub and she nodded in response.

I handed over my eVisa, passport, and TDAC.

She gave the TDAC a quick glance, then scanned the QR code on my visa paper.

After that, she flipped through my passport to find the previous entry stamp and placed the new one directly below it.

That was it - smooth and straightforward.

I got my DTV approved on 9th April from thailand embassy in HCM vietnam then arrived at Bkk airport on 10th April no question asked the officer did not even look at DTV visa on my phone as I believe it’s already on their system when they scan my passport. I left bkk on 13th May through autogate then came back to Bkk on 17th and again no question asked as quick as hundred of times I entered Thailand with visa excemption.

Have read many comments about DTV holders being questioned in BKK and DMK. Personally, was never questioned much in any of these locations.

Am planning to arrive at Pattaya airport (UTP). Has anyone got any experience arriving at this airport?

Arrived Thailand 08/04/25 via Suvarnabhumi on DTV issued from Sydney, Australia. No questions, no comments, no concerns. Straight through no problems!

Edit: I forgot to say, this is my second entry into Thailand on this Visa. I read a post tow or three weeks ago by someone saying they needed to show all their DTV documents which they had on their laptop.
