Do UK nationals with a valid DTV need to complete a new TDAC for entry into Thailand each time?

Yes. Why not.

I do it for other places I go, such as Singapore.

@Philip *********

Do you mean that they only accept QR, or only QR and Cash? I’ve never come across anywhere that QR only, so kinda curious.

What is the new Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) system and how does it affect travelers?

Brian ********

@Ashley *******

yes that’s changed. You can get data only or phone number and data. We used Airalo 7 months ago and it was available then. Used ByteSim a few days ago, to carry me over for data as we had ISP issues at condo.

ByteSim app, Airalo, etc.

What is the process for leaving and re-entering Thailand with a DTV visa at BKK airport?

Brian ********

Leaving - scanned my passport electronically and that was it.

Arrival - provided my visa document and passport to IO - asked to scan my biometrics again. Smiled and waved me thru. I was the only one who spoke during the process, hello and thank you In Thai.

Do my husband and I both need £11k in our bank accounts to apply for a Thailand DTV visa?

Brian ********

Yes - but you can spend it when you get here - as long as you are doing border re-entries rather than extensions.

I had a 3 disc ACDF, in B Intl Hospital, honestly was best decision I’ve ever made. Saw me within 3 days and operated within 4. If you have any questions let me know.

What should I expect during my entry into Thailand with a DTV visa?

Brian ********

Had my second DTV entry today. 5 day gap after being in Thailand for 5 and a half months.

Glanced at my phone boarding pass.

Carefully stamped my passport - so the curves lined up with the previous stamp, smiled and waved me through.

Zero questions. Just smiles when I said hello and thank you.

Another 6 months approved.
