I work with Thai lawyers for 19 years, managing law firms. I have never seen that document and you are prohibited to enter Thailand. Congratulations, if you think it is because of the flood, I think you are completely wrong.

Instead, tell us how many times you came to Thailand last year, how long you stayed and what kind of visa you had… the real full story and no bullsh*t.

True

Chiangmai and especially the district of Hang Dong, saw a lot of Chinese doing nominees.

I am a foreign lawyer working for ThaiLawOnline. We see it for property, problems in Hang Dong. But I am surprised it might have gone further to the airport… welcome to Thailand. Been here 21 years and the more you live here, the less you understand. 😎

I went to administrative court twice against immigration and won twice. You might now know how you are talking to. And I don not gave about TM30 but you should know they changed Thai law because of me.

Do you remember when the TM30 started to make problems in 2019? You know who made pressure on immigration? It was me.

This is the article of BBC : 726

And everyone was telling me I was stupid, immigration would change nothing, whatever.

And what happened in 2020? The govenement eased the law. I was the one who made a petition. Not you.

Certainly not because some “experts” on facebook or whatever told people it was the law and people should follow or you have to follow whatever immigration does. No. It is not how it works.

I read Thai. I work with Thai lawyers for 19 years full time. I do not think you know the law for having written what you did.

@Greg *******

does not matter what immigration does. It is the law. You can contest if you want at administrative court. The tenants, are NOT responsible by law. Point.

@Luit ****************

you were rude. Not me. I didn’t ask anything from you.

You think you are the king and Mr. The Truth know it all.

@Luit ****************

your caution is noted, but it’s important to address a few points for clarity and accuracy: (maybe you understand now why I want to answer here, I found you disrespectful and out of order so let me put you back where you belong)

1. Laminating a reduced-size DTV visa is not inherently problematic. As long as the QR code remains scannable—which any modern smartphone can easily check—there is no regulation prohibiting lamination or resizing, especially if you’re retaining a full-size backup. Multiple travelers have successfully re-entered Thailand with A6 laminated copies.

2. Thai Immigration is primarily concerned with the legibility of the QR code and official details, not the material or exact size of the document. In fact, some officers have commended laminated formats for durability.

3. Advising against lamination “just because you can print again” is impractical advice for frequent travelers. A laminated A6 version fits conveniently in a passport holder and avoids wear and tear—very practical during long stays.

4. If there were any official regulation or announcement prohibiting such use, it would be publicly listed by Thai Immigration. Until then, encouraging unnecessary fear over simple formatting is misleading.

Let’s stick to facts and shared experiences—unsupported caution isn’t helpful.

I thought your answer wasn’t fully detailed and accurate.😁

@Luit ****************

I didn’t say the opposite. My job is not to tell him they have to do two applications, etc. My answer is correct. I wrote “applicant” and not “applicants”.

Each applicant must submit a separate DTV application. As a legally married couple, your wife can apply as your dependent. This requires her to provide proof of your marital relationship, such as a marriage certificate.

The financial requirement stipulates that the primary DTV applicant must demonstrate a minimum of 500,000 THB in liquid assets.

No crypto.

@James *******

thanks.

@Dany *******

there are 5 categories to apply for PR in Thailand. I know it well, I have it.

I wrote a little bit about them here and the numbers were checked today. PR is opened now until 15th May and this is rare. It normally opens around December each year.
