No O Visa

Do I need to print off the visa I received from the Thai Embassy via email and have it to hand when I arrive in BKK next month?

TIA

What exactly do I need to fill out at DTAC when I arrive with DTV? Do I need to fill out a return ticket and date? And if I'm sleeping at a friend's house, do I need to fill out his address?

Finally arrived in Thailand. I’ve never seen immigration this busy. It’s possible that it’s the time (13:00 Ish) of day and year as I normally arrive in the New year and early evening. On the other hand it could be the fact that sooooo many people are not filling in their TDAC. In my queue alone, I saw 8 people being turned back to go and fill it in. Plus a family of 4 in front of me, who hadn’t got a clue what the immigration officer was telling them. I explained it all to them but they expected myself and everyone behind me to wait while they filled it in. The immigration officer and myself was having none of that 😜. So please people do yourselves a favour and the rest of us queuing. Fill the TDAC in at the correct time.

Airport thai only enter queue

Do they except the new TDAC for foreigners with thai wife.

Asking because Thais don't need TDAC to enter.

Use to be not a problem.

or do they reject you & send you to the tourist queue.

Hi all,

Quick question about Immigration at suvarnabhumi airport. I will be flying to Bangkok tomorrow via Business class. Are there any fast tracks or priority lanes at the Immigration? Do you have to book access for the priority lane in advance or is it included for business class tickets?

Thanks in advance

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.
