Don't worry about the guarantor in Laos. Just put someone in Thailand or back home. I know people in Laos, but they can't expect that to apply to your average foreigner just passing through town on a visa trip.

Do DTV holders need to show return tickets or accommodation bookings when entering Thailand?

@Andi **********

Yes, that could be, let's say if you've got a Thai extension of stay stamp, they might not know how to deal with that.

Aha I see. I flew EVA Air.

Air Asia is less professional and they mostly see tourists.

Could also be a lazy check-in agent who didn't bother to check your passports and thus assumed you were traveling without a visa.

What airline did you fly with? I also got my visa from Taipei and flew into Thailand from there.

If so, they should have seen that, unless they didn't bother to check.

With an e-visa, one must always hand a printed copy over to the check-in agent (don't wait for them to ask, do it automatically without saying anything) because without that proof, they'll assume you're coming in on visa exempt and will ask for outbound flight proof.

So you are holding a sticker visa?

What should I fill in for the 'guarantor' section on the visa application form for a spouse DTV?

Paul *******

Forget about the guarantor part of the application form. I don't think they care what you write. Put someone back home. Or a Thai person you know (such as a spouse) or close friend or something.

Very, very strange. There should be no questions about an outbound ticket. Maybe they didn't see your visa?

For my first entry, I flew into Thailand from Taipei. I was not asked for anything. I was traveling with my Thai family.

NO. None of these are required at any point. Not when making an application (except using the e-visa system to prove you're in the country you're applying at) and not when entering the country.

Immigration rarely even asks for these things on visa-exempt entry, though airlines will. They won't for DTV holders though.

When will Thai E-Visa applications be accepted in Laos and Indonesia?

Paul *******

1 January 2025 is a public holiday. I can't see them starting applications on that date. Assume that the first working day will be Thursday the 2nd, but chances are, not much will happen until Monday the 6th, as I believe the government has designated the 2nd and even the 3rd as additional public holidays in 2025?
