My last name in my passport is ‘Sharma’, but on my visa grant it is written as ‘Sharha’. Will I be denied entry into Thailand? What problems could arise, and what is the solution?

First Visa Run 2026 - CM to Chiang Khong

Hi everyone, I'm looking for a quick sanity check on my first visa run of the year. (I haven't been in Thailand during 2025)

I'm currently in Chiang Mai and I'm traveling on a passport that qualifies for the standard 60+30-day visa exemption.

My current visa expires May 15th. I’m planning to DIY via the Green Bus to Chiang Khong/Huay Xai around May 13th.

My Plan:

1. DIY via Green Bus + Tuk-tuks.

2. Have $40 USD (pristine) for Lao VOA + 2 photos.

3. TDAC QR code ready for re-entry.

4. 20k THB cash + proof of onward travel ready.

Questions:

* Has anyone done this specific land border in the last week? Any issues with "same-day" turnarounds for a first-timer this year?

* How is the TDAC verification at the bridge? Does it add a lot of time to the process?

* Is it better to book the Green Bus a few days in advance, or is there usually space on the day?

* Is it actually worth spending the "peace of mind" money to the visa run agencies to ensure my reentry?

Thanks for any recent updates!

In-person DTV visa interview?

Paperwork for in person DTV Visa interview?

Hello all,

I've applied online for a DTV visa and I have been invited to an in person interview at the Royal Thai Embassy in The Hague, Netherlands.

What paperwork should I bring with me?

Context:

I'm a Romanian national with a Romanian (EU) passport, which I've uploaded on their website.

I've been living in the Netherlands for more then 11 years and I have proof of being registered over here.

I have a paperwork from the local council with my current address but also with my historical addresses where I've been living before in The Netherlands.

I have a self-employment business in the IT sector, registered in the Netherlands.

I have uploaded proof of this, from the dutch Chamber of Commerce, on the Thai visa application website.

I have enough invoices, bank statements and other paperwork from the dutch Taxation Service, proving my income and that I have enough in the accounts to support myself.

So can you advice what other type of paperwork should I bring with me?

Has anyone had experience with an in-person DTV visa interview?

Thank you

Hi everyone 😊

Just wondering if anyone has any experience with getting a DTV approved using only around 8 weeks of bank statements?

We’ve recently sold our house, so we do have more than the required funds available, but they’re not all shown across a long statement history.

Has anyone been approved in a similar situation, or did they ask for more documentation?

Would really appreciate any insight or experiences, thank you so much in advance! 🙏

Hello, I’m joining this group to find out whether it’s difficult to apply for the DTV visa on your own. Do you know any agents or lawyers who can handle it for you? What are the usual prices? I’m based in Koh Samui. Thanks.
