Update on Bangkok Airport: we arrived last night with 2 brand-new DTV visas, and they let us through the security without asking a single question.

We had the DTV approval printed out, and we got the stamp for the 6 months 🎉🎉🎉

Of course it always depends on the officers, but we are really grateful that it was so easy for us!

Hi everyone!

My flight arrives at 11:30 PM. Does anyone know if there will be long lines at immigration? I've seen pictures of huge queues and I'm not sure if it's worth buying the fast track pass.

Thanks!

I have done the re-entry permit at the airport in Bangkok for the first time and it was smoothe and easy

I highly recommend you to do it at the airport. You don’t loose days queuing in classic immigration centres

TDAC requirements. I will be arriving at BKK for a transit. I will arrive, go to arrival immigration, turn around and go to departure passport check. "Self transfer". I will never leave the airport.

Do I need a TDAC and if so what do I enter for where will I stay!

Arrived at Bangkok airport from Vietnam, already have a DTV but my first exit and re entry.

Didn’t need anything other than my passport as the DTV and TDAC is logged under the passport. I did have them available but was told they weren’t necessary (despite the signs stating to have them ready).

I was informed (by the immigration police lady) to always check the passport stamp for the re-entry date on the DTV’s as mistakes have been made (by immigration). Once you leave the airport it can be difficult if there’s is a mistake.

Her colleague on the next desk came over to see my passport and whatever it was they had visibility to on their screens as she had never had a DTV traveller herself and wanted to see.

From first hand experience only please, not speculation- When entering on a workation DTV, Is the entry smoother and less hassle-free, less chance of difficulty for first entry on DTV to enter through BKK, and then travel on to CNX? I'm getting mixed signals from various posts here. I feel I'm in 100% compliance, and the extra leg through BKK adds travel costs and is basically a nuisance. If the odds of not being f'd with are the same, I'd rather just enter at CNX.

Just come Bangkok airport first on DTV and no issue no extra checks stright forward

Had the most smoothest process through Bangkok airport with my DTV last night.

I did my DTAC card online the night before.

I literally just gave her my passport, and she didn't ask for my DTAC or DTV E-Visa or anything else more than my passport.

Doesn't get any easier than that!

Recently came back on my DTV at BKK airport. No issues, I gave my DTV paper to the immigration officer, no questions nothing asked. Stamped back in for 6 months!

Hi can anyone tell me if I can pay at Bangkok Airport for a rentry visa on my retirement visa?
