We (my 2 kids and I) entered Bangkok international airport with the DTV for the first time on May 31th.

Everything went smooth. Just my 15 yo got a few questions, who are you here with, what’s your purpose of visiting?

They didn’t see me, but when I waved (we were in a different lane) she waved back and stamped the passport.

Also thank you to the person that shared his tip, about laminating the visa. This was very helpful.

Hey everyone, looking for some advice from the group.

I hold both US and Russian passports. I have a DTV visa issued to my US passport, but for this particular trip I want to enter Thailand using my Russian passport instead (visa exemption).

My reason: 16 days after arrival to Thailand I'm traveling onward to where my Russian passport works better and want to keep travel continuity.

Has anyone entered Thailand on a different passport than the one with their DTV visa? Any issues at Thai immigration? I'm prepared with explanations and all my bookings are on the Russian passport, but wondering if this will create problems.

Would appreciate any experiences or thoughts from the group. Thanks!

Hey, can you guys share your experience of entering on dtv? Just saw in the group there have been instances of unwanted srutinization while entering on the dtv? Someone said they were asked to show all the docs, they used while applying. This would be very inconvenient given some of us applied physically and don't have all the docs handy.

Do I need a return ticket or out of Thailand flight to travel to Thailand? I saw this requirement for 90 visa, but I don’t know how long I will stay in Thailand and where I go next, Bali or Vietnam or Philippines, if I just order a one way ticket, am I allowed to enter Thailand? I am from America.

Any complications if you have applied for a DTV nomad visa and you come to Thailand in the meantime on holiday while waiting for approval? When you get approved while inside of Thailand, how it works? Thanks peeps in advance, much appreciated.

Also what if I am not in my country of residence and on business trip in another country ? When I get the DTV , can I just fly direct to Thailand or should I go back to my country first?

Hello!

Can I come on a one way ticket on DTV? Or I need to have a return ticket? Is it mandatory?

It is bit strange to anticipate & book your return ticket when you are planning to stay long term in Thailand.

Any suggestions/ workarounds will be really helpful to plan my DTV journey!

THANKS!

Say a DTV visa holder flies into Thailand on a date other than the one stated in the application. Would that cause any issues at the border or would it be fine as the visa is valid from the day it is approved anyway?
