Well, back into CMX on DTV yesterday and luckily I did have the dirty photocopy of the DTV as the immigration officer screamed at me for it. I simply said, "Sorry, I didn't know you needed the paper as well," and that was enough and then he got difficult. Luckily I found it in my bag. He huffed and puffed and stamped me through. Going to make many photocopies of that piece of paper.

I don't have a whole blank page left, but have plenty of unused space on random pages, can enter Thailand?

I just need a stamp as I am on visa exemption program, have plenty of room for stamps... I think it shouldn't be a problem. I am flying home to get new passport and all good connecting flights are from Bangkok, so I need to enter Thailand, possibly via land or air.

Hello I’m Sharing my process with you from applying in Jakarta while staying in Bali, soft power muay thai and unemployed with no income for many years

Thank you to the group and to you T for all the help

Essential Costs in THB

Flights in out with flexible ticket + VOA = 12k

Hotel = 700thb per night x 5 nights

Food/drink = 1000thb per day x 5days

DTV online: 11.5k THB after exchanges see below

Note: The application is apparently payed by card only in IDR 5.6M = (11500thb) I expected to pay 10k in THB, so be better prepared than me for a more favourable exchange rate and experience.

Hey everyone! My name is Indy Jeed, and I’ll be traveling solo to Bangkok, Chiang Mai, and Phi Phi Islands in early May 2025. It’s my first time traveling alone, and I’m a bit nervous!

Looking for any tips, recommendations, or must-visit spots, and if anyone else is traveling around that time, it’d be great to meet up. Let’s connect!

Thanks in advance!

Hi guys advice please , if I do a border run instead of 30 day extension should I take my luggage with me in case I'm refused entry back into Thailand. I've never done this before .

Thank you

I want to stay in Thailand October to April what would I need to do

Hey everyone 🙂

Flying to Vietnam this week to submit my DTV.

Don’t mind where to stay, Hanoi or HCM.

Flights to Da Nang are a bit cheaper, but I heard Hanoi Consulate process the applications a bit faster.

Anyone has any experience to share?

Thanks!

Isn't it more beneficial to just take Euros with you and to exchange? Pay now each atm withdrawal is 220 baht plus cost from my bank in the Netherlands? Mvg deep down

Is het niet voordeliger om gewoon euro, s mee te nemen en om te wisselen? Betaal nu ben elke atm opname 220 baht plus kosten van mijn bank in Nederland? Mvg jeroen

Has anyone already extended their DTV visa for a second

180 days?

Flying into Thailand is the email of visa sufficient or so you need to print it out? Did a search here but couldn’t find a definite answer.
