ORIGINAL POSTER

Just arrived to Thailand (DMK airport) with DTV visa for first time. 

I just give my passport and DTV printout to officer, no question and he just stamped for 180 days. 

I was like “Have a good day”, he replied “You too, have a great time in Thailand”. 

That’s all.

FYI - I hold Myanmar Passport.

Just a quickie - since I last visited BKK I’ve been told that as a U.K. national there is a form you have to fill in before going. It says ‘within 72 days’ but does that mean during the last 72 hours in the run up to the flight, or before the last 72 hours ? Thanks in advance and no nasty comments please 😎

Hi page, question re the TDAC if ok?

Reading the guides on embassy pages etc, states the TDAC must be submitted 3 days pre arrival ?

Is this 3 days the "no later than" or "no earlier than"?

Travelling to arrive 16th Aug, can submit now or way too early for the process ?

Thanks

Good news, my Thai "O" visa approved, took 5.5 business days. Valid from June 30. to September 27. 2025. Going Thai July 3rd.

It was Osaka Royal Thai Consulate, they look after my area.

Now, I print it and show at the Immigration at the airport?

It has a QR code, anything to do with it (suck it in into my iPhone)?
