I needed to wait until today to post this. But I went through immigration in Bangkok yesterday with my new DTV Visa I got in Ho Chi Ming. My husband went through with no issue in another line. When I went to a different immigration officer. He looked at me with a nasty look as a passed my passport. Then when I handed him my printed DTV Visa he pushed it back at me and said "I didn't ask for that". I just smiled and said Okay. Then he asked for it again. This time he said "Why did you get your Visa in Vietnam and not the USA". I said because I was told I could get it in Vietnam. He then said Yes, but it's not right. Who told you to go to Vietnam. I said the person who I'm attending the Course with.

He then said "Course are you running a Race". I said "Correction, Seminar". Then he raised his voice a little and said "What are you doing in my Country" you have been in and out for 2 years. I said yes, I have and I've never overstayed and I leave for 2-4 months at a time. I love Thailand and I have decided to get a Visa so that I can stay longer. He said louder this time. I Love Thailand too Why are you in my country. At this point I am pissed but I remain calm and I say. At this point nothing I say will satisfy you, and I don't like the way you are yelling at me please let me speak to a supervisor.

He looked at me with an evil look and said follow me. We went to another line with a female and he said things to her and then walked passed me and said Stay here, I looked and him smiled and said Thank you.

I get to the lady she ask me some questions after looking at my paperwork and passport. And asked me how long I plan to be here I said I'm leaving in July for 1 month then I will be back. I'm signed up for a seminar and the month I'm gone I will be able to do it online so that I don't fall behind.

She then stamped my passport for 6 month and said have a good day.

I have never experienced that the whole time I have been in Thailand. Now that I have a valid Visa I get treated like trash. It really put a nasty taste in my mouth. And after the wonderful time I had in Vietnam I may consider that as a place to live.

Has anyone else been treated bad coming into Bangkok with the DTV?

Hi all, am a little confused in that I obtained a 60 day multiple entry visa to Thailand as I fly in and out of Bangkok from London, but am using Bangkok as a hub to also visit Nepal and either Laos or Cambodia. I assume I can just come and go 3 times on this visa as long as I dont stay longer than 60 days any time. However at border control the officer said I would need a re-entry permit. Is this correct seems to be a contradiction to the terms of a multiple entry visa?

Any experience/clarification welcomed
