Update on Bangkok Airport: we arrived last night with 2 brand-new DTV visas, and they let us through the security without asking a single question.

We had the DTV approval printed out, and we got the stamp for the 6 months 🎉🎉🎉

Of course it always depends on the officers, but we are really grateful that it was so easy for us!

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 🙏

⌛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.

Applied for DTV via soft power in Bali through Jakarta Thai embassy and was asked for additional documents of my current AND previous passport pages.

I don’t have my previous passport anymore…

What should I do?

I hope someone can help me with this. I came in using a Visa exempt on arrival. Later I got it changed to a marriage Visa ( I think ) it expired Oct 28. So I thought by then I would get the year Visa. I have already got the funds into the Bank but instead I got the under consideration that says I must be back in on Nov 27 for my year stamp. My problem is using the Oct date I thought I'd be alright so I purchased a round trip ticket to America leaving Oct 31. We called about a week ago and explained it to the IO working with us. He said that he would put me on fast track so I could get it in time. We called today and ask him and he said it was still in process. I have all week until Friday so that might still work out. Just in case it doesn't does anyone know of anything I can do. Can I buy a reentry permit being under consideration. What different options does the group suggest. Thanks to everyone in advance

Looking to do my first 180 days on my DTV visa soon. Planning to cross the border at Nong Khai → Vientiane to activate it.

Has anyone crossed that border recently with a DTV? Were there any issues with immigration officers (either leaving Thailand or re-entering)?
