Hi everyone, I need some help! I entered Thailand on November 10 with my DTV visa (I got it in October), but my passport was stamped only until February 7—much shorter than the 180 days I was expecting. I had originally been on holiday in Japan before coming back, so I’m a bit confused now. Has anyone else experienced this issue? Should I apply for an extension (and if so, how and where), or is it just a matter of doing the 90-day reporting? Any advice would be really appreciated. Thanks!

DTV Approved.

Where: Vientiane, Laos (In person with appointment).

Wait time: Usually 3 working days but I lodged my application on a Friday so I had to wait the weekend for a Tuesday pick-up.

Key points: I promised to make a post because I'm one of the cases where I was on an ED visa when I left Thailand (well, technically, I was on an ED visa extension because my original visa has already been extended twice). I obtained a reentry permit for my ED visa in case my DTV application wasn't successful. This didn't cause me any issues with obtaining the DTV.

Note: I go back to Thailand tomorrow and will make an update on this post if anything needs to be mentioned about the re-entry process ie. if they ask questions or if there is any confusion around the DTV and reentry permit.

My experience: Firstly, I will say that the whole experience was very smooth and quite quick. I read a lot of the posts in this Facebook group, and that definitely helped me have the right documents.

It took me about 5-7 minutes talking with the officer and explaining my documents on the lodgement day, another 15 minutes to print off one extra piece of evidence requested, and literally less than a minute to pick up the passport from the window on collection day (this doesn't count waiting in line on lodgement day of course, which took about an hour - I arrived as the gate opened in the morning. Waiting in the afternoon for collection took a lot less time - ten minutes max).

I'm a freelancer registered as a sole trader in Australia (self-employed contractor/freelancer with a business number but not a company).

Documents I provided:

1. Application form and 2 passport photos.

2. Scanned passport pages - ID Page, exit stamp from Thailand, Laos visa and entry stamp (all scanned pages signed by me).

3. Proof of location - scanned booking and receipt from hotel.

4. Cover letter - outlining the nature of my work. I also explained my business structure (sole trader) and where I am registered and gave my business number. In addition, I explained where I obtain my clients (mostly Fiverr with some private clients), and I emphasised that none of my clients are sourced from Thailand and that I have no business operations within Thailand. I outlined how my clients pay me. I described the payment trail - how the money moves from clients to my bank (since this involves a couple of steps when being paid by Fiverr).

5. Evidence of my business number on ABN Lookup (an Australian government website that lists business numbers and who trades under them).

6. Fiverr Profile with reviews from clients and a screenshot of my Fiverr earnings page.

7. One contract with a private client and an accompanying invoice.

8. Payoneer transaction history (as this is a step in receiving funds from Fiverr)

9. Bank statement showing 500K for six months.

10. Bank statement showing payments from Payoneer (business earnings).

The officer read my letter and asked me questions about the 'payment trail' for my earnings. I explained this with the supporting records.

Finally, the officer asked to see my savings account with the 500K baht on my phone banking app and sent me away to print a screenshot of the app.

I hope this post helps, and thank you to everyone here who has been sharing their experiences so generously. It helped me immensely.

I need some advice. I was helping my parents with their visa for Thailand and it got rejected for “incorrect travel document.” They are U.S permanent residents (green card holders) and they have a travel document “Reentry Permit” issued from US homeland Security. They were able to obtain a Lao visa but not a Thai visa? I called the Thailand embassy in Washington and they told me that they do not accept reentry permits. So what is the correct document/ travel document I need? Thanks in advance!

If I have an existing extension of a Non O for retirement with a reentry permit can I apply for a DTV in Laos or Malaysia ? In other words will the consulate issue me a DTV while my extension of stay based on retirement is still active? I would have two active ‘visas’ at the same time. Will they do it ?

Can anyone please help me figure out the actual cost of reentry at Chaengwattana

When I book an appointment online it shows that the fees are 1900Thb

From my understanding it was 1000Thb at immigration office and 1200thb at airport

Am I missing something ? Thank you

Since the DTV was launched I have been hearing of more people staying in the country indefinitely on tourist visas facing issues coming back in.

Have any of you noticed this?

Went to CW today for stamping of Stay Extension ( marriage) after U/C period. Arrived 10am. Got SE stamped at L2 after taking queue number and a short wait. IO at L2 kindly made the necessary copies of passport for me because I told her that I was going to apply for a Reentry Permit and had the form and photo already. Got new queue number for reentry permit and everything complete and in the taxi home by 11am. Very efficient especially as I didn’t have an appointment for the reentry permit. ( I tried to make an appointment for reentry permit 3 weeks ago but none available)

If long term resident with support Thai wife visa and a reentry permit can I use the Thai or vip line when exiting swampy at immigration?

Do I get a reentry permit after I go through immigration at the airport? At the airport is the reentry counter open 24 hrs? Or should I get the reentry permit at immigration?
