At BKK Airport: Can I pay cash on arrival for fast-track/VIP lane entry directly to the officer, or does it need to be pre-booked in advance?

Note: No nonsense comments.

I just arrived from Taipei to Chiang Mai 12/13/26 11:00.

The airport was not crowded.

Immigration had many officers waiting for us.

I showed the officer my DTV Visa stapled in the passport.

He asked no questions, smiled and said “ Welcome to Thailand."

I checked my passport and was correctly stamped in for 180 days.

NOTE: there was a typed document in multiple languages pasted on the immigration window saying, “Please show your hotel or address where you will be staying".

Remember this is one of the "3 Proofs"that we hear about. I was not asked but I had a reservation for a $4 hotel.

How many of you remember the other 2 "Proofs"?

Metv through my thai airways flight london to phuket via bangkok can someone shine light on process transiting through ..kind regards in advance immigration and any good advice

Hi everyone. Is there anyone here who was not approved for DTV?

If so, for what reason? And were you able to appeal?

My case- my application was canceled and I don't know why

I'm trying to create a timeline for my retirement in Thailand. I will be applying for a Non O 90 day visa. I live in the USA now, about how long does it take to be approved on the average? Just an approximate, I know all applications can take different times. Next, after approval, how long is it valid before I actually go to Thailand. My reason is I am in the process of selling all my stuff and then I need to sell my condo. I don't want to be approved so far in advance that it expires before I can leave. Thanks.

I'm from the U.S. and received an non-o visa from the Royal Thai Embasy in L.A. last October. MY flight was delayed and it expired before I arrived in Thailand. Can I re apply for it here in Thailand. I've been married to a Thai national for 5 years and we have all the documents with us. Someone said I have to leave to re apply??? Why?

Is it required to show the funds of 500k at the airport for DTV visa?

Guys I applied for the 90 day report online and I think it was successful. They sent an email with the tm47 filled out. Do I need to bring that in to immigration or have I completed the 90 day report?

I will be coming to Thailand in January on my non-O 90 day visa to subsequently apply for my spousal visa. After arrival, my plan is to quickly set up a bank account and immediately deposit more than 400k baht. I also plan to set up another bank account and begin immediately transferring more than 40k baht from the US every month. I thought that after the end of the 90 days and after approval of the one year spousal extension, I could then withdraw the 400k and continue the monthly transfers. I thought that before the end of the one year, I would have a record of more than 12 monthly transfers and all would be good. However, I was recently advised that I would still need the 400k in the first account to get the second year extension. Is that correct?

I have a non-O retirement visa. I'm going to immigration on December 18th to apply for my one-year extension. I'm also applying for a Multiple Re-entry visa. I'm probably going to Cambodia for a few days sometime in January 2026, and I'll definitely be returning to Belgium for about two months in June. What should I fill in on the TM 8 form? Thank you in advance for your positive responses.
