Why are DTV border bounces more expensive than normal visa runs in Thailand?
Steve *******
That's just BS. You don't need an agent to help you get back in when you have a legit DTV.

Just get any sort of transport to the border and do it yourself. Don't support these scammy agents

Or even better, use your visa expiry dates as an opportunity to travel and visit the neighboring countries and make it a weekend trip every 6 months.

@Ekjot *******
 you don't have to worry regardless. It's not something that will affect your trip no matter when you come.

If you need one and forget it, the airport staff will tell you, and you do it in 2 minutes

Do I need to show all my accommodation bookings with the new TDAC in Thailand?
Steve *******
No, it's just an arrival card. It's nothing new.

You enter your regular arrival info and you're done.

 don't argue with profiles without a real photo. They never know anything about anything, but are always arguing for their wrong point louder than everyone else.

What are the most common mistakes people make when applying for the DTV in Thailand?
