Thank You for your helpful report 👍

Congratulations 👏👏👏

PRINT OUT THE EMAIL THAT HAS YOUR DTV VISA.

That's what you should do... print it out.

You may have to show PROOF of your DTV Visa to airline staff on check-in for your flight ✈️ to Thailand...even to the connecting airline staff. Or to the land border crossing entry Thai Immigration Officer.

Upon arrival into Thailand, show the DTV visa to the Thai Immigration Officer and look at the STAMP placed in your passport to be sure you are STAMPED in for 180 days.

thanks for your reply ✅ but they told me and my Thai friend that even with the retirement extension, will need to file a new TM30 whenever I reenter Thailand. 😨

Anonymous participant be patient... it's only been 2 weeks since you applied for the DTV visa.

@Karsten *******

I would like to believe that...I am on retired extension and use Jomtien. Fined 2000 when I went to do the 90 day report. Had reentered Thailand and same address on file. Just paid it and not argue about it. I think you are Right... but not worth the hassle to challenge the 90 day report desk.

@Karsten *******

nope... Jomtien requires a NEW TM30 if you have departed Thailand and return.

@Alan ********

Which Thai bank are you using?

Anonymous participant nope. The DTV visa is valid for entry into Thailand for 5 years from the DATE it is ISSUED. Each entry gives you a New 180 day stamp during those 5 years.

Anonymous participant Correct ✅

Anonymous participant and if you are applying for the DTV visa, you cannot apply while you are in Thailand. Where are you now and which Thai Embassy or Consulate are you making an application for the DTV visa ?

Hopefully you are not being scammed by a so-called visa agency for the DTV visa. They do exist. Was the email confirming payment for the DTV visa fee of Thai baht?

Stay in the country until the decision is known.
