Is Loas a problem for the DTV visa? Has anyone tried? Or should I go to vietnam instead?

Hey

I applied for a multiple entry tourist visa over 2 weeks ago and still haven’t heard back from the embassy. My flight is in 4 days and I do have 60 day visa free entry.

Does anyone know what happens if I just go without the visa and then the visa gets approved while I’m already in Thailand? Would I need to leave and re enter to activate it?

If you got 2 metv per year costing £300,wouldn’t it be better than jumping thru hoops trying to get a retirement visa probably work out cheaper & you wouldn’t have to leave 800,000 baht in your account

What’s the advantage & disadvantage over this

I thought I just take a look at my passport I came last year in January 2025 on a new passport visa exemption 60 days got a 30 day extension but there isn’t a stamp for the departure? I’ve looked at a old passport 2024 these where stamped up with the departure date UK passport is there a way to correct this I haven’t booked any tickets yet and haven’t travelled again since that date

Hello everyone,

Has anyone else seen on the official website that the visa is approved and sent by email, but did not actually receive the email with the visa? I have checked my spam and junk folders as well, and there is nothing there. Thank you in advance.

Hello, I am kinda worried due to strict entry at airport lately.

I am DTV spouse holder and been in and out country for many times together with my husband. But I am on family vacation and this time I will be entering without him. He is currently not in Thailand as well however he will be back soon.

Has anyone experienced this before like entering without main applicant? I am worried it could cause a problem.

Thank you 🙏

Did anyone’s status change from PDCto PA in Vientiane, paid on 8th Dec?

seems some problems for some people at the nong khai/laos border ......what about the nathon pathom thai border going to and from tha khaek savanakhet laos?

⌛Running Out of Time: Can I Exit & Re-enter While DTV Is Processing?

Hi everyone, ✨

I’m a Malaysian currently in Indonesia on the 30-day visa-free entry (there is no way to extend this while I'm in Indonesia) and my DTV application is already submitted and in process. My first one was rejected so this is my second attempt. However I'm running out of time.

My stay expires soon, 12th Nov, so I’m planning to leave Indonesia and re-enter on the same day.

❓ My question:

If I exit and return to Indonesia while my DTV application is still being processed,

👉 Will my application remain valid, or will it be voided?

Has anyone done this successfully or received official clarification?

Thank u so much 🙏💕

Any insights or experience would be appreciated!

Was fined 2K THB today for missing 90 day reporting by a one day. Lets say I arrived on the 1st, I thought 1 day in Thailand would be on the 2nd. But the first day is included. It ran late due to a family emergency over the past few weeks. Immigration were very rude.

I'm wondering if this is a big deal to have this fine in my passport going forward. I have a DTV.
