Hi everyone

I have applied my DTV visa in Cambodia on the first week of October and still haven’t gotten the result yet. It’s been five weeks and I’m a bit worried that it might take longer due to the current situation between the two country. Should I send a follow up email to the Thailand embassy for a follow up? I’m afraid I’m might get rejected after a long wait.

Hey everyone!

I had a quick question about travel patterns and Thai immigration.

I’m a U.S.-based flight attendant, so I want to spend about 14 days in Thailand each month for rest and leisure between my work rotations. I fly back to the U.S. regularly and always have return tickets, plus I stay in hotels or Airbnbs during my visits.

I actually contacted the immigration office in Thailand about the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) and was told I’m not eligible since I’m considered flight crew, not a remote worker.

So I’m just wondering — for those who’ve been in and out of Thailand frequently, how would a pattern like mine (14 days every month) look to immigration officers? Would that seem fine as frequent travel, or could it eventually raise flags?

I’d love to hear from anyone who’s done something similar or has experience with multiple short stays throughout the year.

Thanks in advance for any insight!

Will DTV be rejected if I’ve been rejected from Thailand as a tourist before and stayed in a holding cell etc.

So I already have a 1 year lease on a condo while on my tourist visa. I am heading to Bali to Apply for DTV. What are the chances of being denied? Not let back in 🤔

Has anyone got their money back from Bangkok bank?? They refuse to give me my money it’s been 3 months

Hey guys,

First off, I’m really sorry if this has been asked before. I know it probably has, but I’m a natural overthinker and I worry a lot about small things.

So here’s my situation: I’ve planned a 10-day trip to Bangkok this October (7th–17th), and then I fly out to Vietnam. The thing is, I’ve already been to Thailand twice this year – once in May for 7 days and again in August for 10 days. This will be my 3rd trip within the year, and I’m starting to worry if immigration might give me a hard time or even deny entry.

For context:

• My passport allows visa-free entry for 60 days, but the max I’ve stayed each time was only 10 days.

• I’ll have proof of funds (carrying 40–50k baht in cash), onward flight tickets to Vietnam, and all hotel bookings (already paid).

• The biggest reason I’m stressing is because my girlfriend (she’s from Greece) will be flying all the way from Athens to Bangkok the same day to meet me. We’re long-distance and this vacation means everything to us. If I get stopped or denied at immigration, it would be a huge mess since she’d arrive alone and our trip would basically be ruined.

Has anyone here traveled multiple times in a year like this? Do you think immigration will actually care, or am I just overthinking it? Any advice would seriously mean the world to me.

Thanks a ton in advance, and again, sorry for repeating a question that might’ve been asked before 🙏

Hello. everyone.

I’m currently in Hanoi to apply for the Workation DTV.

I applied for the e-Visa on Monday the 28th, but the status is still stuck on “Pending Document Check”

For your reference, our previous visa was officially canceled as of today. Could that be the reason for the delay?

The lack of progress is making me anxious — I really need to return to Thailand soon.

Has anyone had a similar experience?

Hi I am a bit green at this travelling to Thailand from the UK but have seen some posts of people getting turned away at immigration because to many visits in a short time and it has me worried a bit. I came to Thailand to visit my girlfriend in May for 20 days, then i booked for to come back for 28 days in November, but then she asked me to come back in september for my birthday, i am only staying for 13 days then. My question is will i have a problem coming back in November as it will only be 6 weeks between my visits, any answers will be appreciated cheers Steve

Hi! My passport is currently valid, but expires in a little over two years. I’m applying for my dtv in about a month when I’m out of the country. Will I have issues with my dtv application since it’s a 5 year visa and my passport expires in 2?

I obviously plan to get a new passport before it expires, but not yet if I can help it. I am very low on free time.

I am the owner of an American LLC and my bank accounts are listed under the LLC. I can prove through my state's LLC records that I am the sole director of the LLC, would i have any issues that the money is not in a personal bank account?
