When applying for the DTV do they check your immigration status? If you stayed too long in a country and apply for the DTV from that country will that be a problem? Or is it better to just leavet he country you overstayed, go back to your home country or another country and apply for the DTV?

Best way to apply for 60 day visa for 1st February please??

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for some advice and real experiences regarding the DTV application, as I’m currently a bit confused 🙏

I applied online for the DTV as a freelancer / remote worker for an Italian company, and uploaded all the required documents (financial proof, engagement letter, CV, etc.).

I hold an Italian passport and I am officially resident in Italy, but I am currently in Bali (Indonesia) on a valid visa.

I submitted the application under the Italian embassy / jurisdiction, using Italian documents as proof of residence.

The application progressed normally (pending document check → pending approval), but then I received a request for a “Flight ticket departing from Italy.”

This is where my doubt comes in:

* I won’t be returning to Italy before going to Thailand,

* I haven’t purchased any flight yet because I’m waiting for the visa outcome,

* I don’t want to submit incorrect or misleading information.

Has anyone experienced something similar?

* Did you upload a cancelable booking or flight itinerary even if you were not actually departing from that country?

* Is this a standard request linked to the embassy jurisdiction, or can it become an issue if you don’t physically depart from there?

* In cases like this, is it better to explain the situation, or simply upload a flight itinerary consistent with the application?

I know there’s still a lot of confusion around the DTV and procedures seem to vary, so any real-life experience would be really appreciated 🙏

Thank you in advance!

Went to check in at Heathrow with Qatar Airways on Tuesday and was told my DTV is not correct due to the Nationality: GBR then underneath : United Kingdom and British overseas territories. My Passport says GBR then United Kingdom and Northern Ireland. They said it should say that instead.

This is my 1st entry on my DTV. I told them the visa is correct, but they refused me to board flight unless I booked another flight or exit within 60 days. I told them it’s correct and I may not fly if they enter me with 60 days on the system.

The supervisor came and told me he will contact immigration in BKK airport to clarify but he usually doesn’t do that. He said in the meanwhile book an exit route within 60 days because he believed it was incorrect. I asked him has he had this case before and he said yes.

So I booked an exit within 60 days. He then came back to me and said it’s ok his staff don’t deal with this much and checked me in. Not even an apology. To say I was stressed and annoyed was an understatement.

Let alone the cost. Let’s hope they have learnt and won’t stress another passenger out and cost them a lot of money for nothing. When I arrived at suvarnabhumi I had all my paperwork and was stamped in very quickly no questions.

Anyone else had this issue? Thanks for any info

Hi, has any Filipino crossed Thailand with a DTV visa? What are the common questions? Do you really need to print all the documents and the return ticket? I heard they can be strict with asian nationalities. Thank you.

I see a lot of posts about people wanting to GO to Thailand but how about getting visa s from Thailand to other countries. It’s been very difficult to get gf from Thailand to USA. 4x. Still NO

Second time entering.

Second time coming into Thailand. Today into DMK. TDAC filled out. Visa laminated inside passport. Smooth entry.

🙏🏼

Im considering going to Kenya this winter and then on to Thailand

Has anyone here applied from Kenya and if so, do you have any insight? Thanks

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!

Apologies if this isn't allowed here. But my daughter got her US citizenship today and my girlfriend got denied her Visa to the USA. I was also recently denied my Non-Immigrant O visa to Thailand for "insufficient paperwork". The only thing I can figure out is that my daughter has not had her birth certified as being my daughter.

Does anyone have experience writing their congressman in the USA to help with Visa help? I really want my parents to meet their granddaughter, but my Mom is not healthy enough to fly here to Thailand.

I will take any advice for my situation to stay in Thailand with my daughter and travel to the USA with her as well. If anyone knows somebody that can certify a birth for a 6 month old child I would really appreciate it too. Thank you.
