"(2) Online Tourist visa is not available for exempted countries. So how do you then supposed to apply for it?"

Huh?, certainly is.

@Siggi ******

What lol ? They don't know the reason of your DTV? What hat did you pull that information out of?? As soon as they scan your passport to visa they all the details on the screen lol. Obviously.....

You might wanna do a bit research before making these kind of claims. Just because me and you didn't encounter issues, doesn't mean people didnt....

@Siggi ******

if you say so 😆. Generally they don't, but people have been denied entry with DTV even for missing the 20K baht cash lol. The individual immigration officer have allot of discretion....

@Ray ****

Indeed they do. It was forced on them by ministry of interior without their say, which is why extending is so difficult. This has been discussed in here many times, not something I made up 😉

Will tighten up an assumption? Has already happened, also been discussed in here many times 😉

Things have already changed allot since i got my DTV in September 24 😉

Kinda surprising this is news to you. You have been here a while. But you have a good day

@Ray ****

im making up my own rules by pointing out it’s smartest to stick to the actual written visa conditions? and have your paperwork in order? Mkey

Immigration already hate DTV as it was pushed onto them. Sooner or later will thighten up. Getting a 5 year free pass for 10k baht by attending a single cooking class (Or faking medical treatment) wont hold up forever……

And as been reported numerous times lately in this very group, several embassies already have gotten allot more strict with the requirements.

@Ray ****

this is Thailand, each embassy employs own requirements. So when some embassies require a 6 month treatment plan, you think it’s ok to just ditch the requirement after the visa is obtained?

Its no different than any of the soft powers. Obviously you’re supposed to do the underlying activities of the Visa.

As can be confirmed by anyone that tried to extend their DTV.

@Kyle *******

with DTV practically yes since you typically never stay longer than 180 days.

However, for 3-500 baht you can use an agent to do the report and never have to leave your sofa…..

@Winston ***********

immigration officers definitely have the mandate to check if you are following the conditions of the visa. It doesn’t happen often at entry, but certainly can. (does happen at extension)

Never been asked, but im under continuous treatment and always keep the paperwork and next appointments ready when re-enter.

You are supposed to be under actual ongoing treatment. And immigration can make checks upon entry.

Jakarta embassy is usually fast, was 3 days for me but that’s over a year ago before they moved to E-visa.

But ive seen reports here of less than a week. Though they seem to have gotten a bit more strict on the paperwork. But that’s not necessarily a bad thing
