OK, but I would still prefer to take a quick trip to Malaysia than to go to the Immigration Department 3 times because apparently my papers are not enough for them. To each their own. I'm not doing that stupid extension process.

Some people are incredibly dumb

All nationalities are eligible for the DTV, at least I'm not aware of "restricted" nationalities, despite some phony websites claiming to list the "eligible passport countries". I know a guy from Ghana who got it and has entered without a problem via BKK. The official MFA website section about the DTV doesn't mention any restricted nationalities.

Of course she doesn't touch it, given the requirement is for the applicant to be outside TH to apply for it. The VAST majority of applicants don't need an agent for that.

@Greg *******

Haha, are there agents who say anything good about the DTV, unless you're paying them?

@Sean ******

Thailand records biometrics, which would match to the same person regardless of passport. That's why they scan your fingerprints at the IO counter at the airport.

@Sefton *******

well, go spend several hours at Immigration Division 1 with a bunch of papers, only to be turned away to bring more, repeat that the following day, and the day after. Somebody here already posted going through that.

Nope, since the easier and more sensible option is to exit TH and reenter with a fresh 180 day stamp.

@Muhammad *****

no, lol

That's your girlfriend, not "spouse"
