They put 180 days every time. I leave and return constantly.

@Paul ******

they do that at cnx too

@Felix *****

all bkk. A couple to cnx as well but also no issues there. Once to DM and again fine

Been in and out of there 6x in the last 2 months and never any issue. In fact the immigration officers already have a 6 month stamp with date set to process the dtvs

@Angelo **********

yep, you show the visa and they say “only resident visas don’t require an onward ticket”. Been through it multiple times. Barcelona via Qatar airlines was the most recent

@Angelo **********

incorrect. The airlines are clueless and many still want onward ticketing even with DTV.

I’ve been forced the last 3x to have a proof of exit… it’s the airlines that think they’re covering their arses and don’t know the visa rules…

@Justin **********

actually it’s almost always the airline. The last 3x back in the airline made me show proof of exit - they don’t know what a DTV is and I’ve had to buy (and cancel) a short flight or bus ticket before I could board.

You can try, but it won’t be worth the wait when they turn you away. It’s only online

@Elías *******

I have a suspicion that the army of small time traveler blogs/vlogs and influencers have had a combined effect. I don’t have data but I feel the difference in places like Chiang Mai and Vietnam over the last few years. Certainly the sailing blogs that started a few years back had a massive influence on the sailing world (which is my little space)
