Sorry about the anonymous post I don't usually do it but don't want a certain person bugging me. Done my second entry today at chiang khong and it was smooth asf. Leaving laos he said you only stayed one night but I had my print out to hand and (laminated with dtv print out on one side and soft power document on the other side.a smile and through in 2 mins max. On the thai side exactly the same but took a bit longer as the lady was interested about my cycle touring as I was entering with my touring bike.took about 3 mins max. Showed my dtv but she just passed it back to be with a โคกดีและปลอดภัยเดินทาง.

*have everything for the DTV except "Proof of confirmation to attend the activity or letter of appointment from hospital/medical center"*

*I am going to Thailand and have selected the "SOFT POWER" reason for the DTV and I am going to exercise and train as im a full time amateur cyclist (unemployed but put freelancer with under 20k income since some random sponsorship deal etc happens in usa) have attached proof of way more than adequate funds in a. bank account so I should be good to go but the problem is there is no official cycling races or things I can show proof of there.*

*It says a music festival is an option but I have no interest in that, should I just buy a 3000baht ticket for a festival I have no interest in to get the visa? seems stupid but....*

*please advise and thanks in advance!*

**EDITED saturday the 27th as im now applying for DTV....

*Applying for DTV under the "thai soft power" activity since I am a full time cyclist and im coming to train for half the year but there are no "confirmation of activities or events/appointments" theres no races or anything. Maybe theres something else I can just buy a cheap reservation for that will qualify me?*

Also it is asking for FLIGHT & ACCOMODATION addresses and dates and proof. How am I supposed to pay for a flight 2 mo from now if I dont know the visa will be approved? also will the accomodations need to be for the full 180days? I plan to stay in a rented condo on airbnb for maybe a week untill I find something better for the long term.***

*thanks in advance.*

Hi all,

Is the onward proof of travel always asked for at land crossings? and does any ticket other than plane work ? I will arrive in Thailand on visa exemp by air, but then cycle out for Cambodia & Laos, and may re-enter Thailand 2 times more.
