Can I re-enter Thailand with a DTV visa after visiting Vietnam for a week?

Hello, everyone!

Did any of you already re-entered with DTV visa? I spent 170 days in Thailand already and I am thinking about visiting Vietnam for a week and coming back. Will there be issue? Do the immigration officers asking for any additional document on re-entering?

Thank you so much!

TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion revolves around re-entering Thailand with a DTV visa after a trip to Vietnam. Users assured that re-entry should not pose problems for those with a DTV visa, as many have done so without issues. It's recommended to carry proof of DTV approval and check that the immigration stamp aligns with the 180-day allowance. Additionally, users noted potential visa requirements for Vietnam based on the traveler's passport and the importance of reporting to immigration after 90 days.

When did you get your DTV? I believe July 15th was the first day to apply (not approved). However if you were approved on July 15th, 170 days would be December 31st.

Sorry, I meant 150 days. Yes, I got it back in July 20th. Entered on July 25th. I will be leaving to Vietnam in 3 weeks so I will be total of 170 days here by the time I leave. Planning to come back for another 6 months after that.

The only issue you might have is that depending on your passport, you might need a visa for Vietnam, and you do not have much time left before you reach 180 days.

Not a problem. Many with DTV Visa have left and reentered. Some have done this many times.

Have the printed out email you received when your DTV application was approved.

Or.. if you have a Sticker for the DTV Visa in your passport, Thai Immigration Officers will see it.

Look at the STAMP the Thai Immigration Officer puts in your passport upon arrival. Make sure its for 180 days.
