I might have a rather stupid question but this visa is still new and confusing so please forgive my ignorance.
DTV visa is a multiple entry visa and is given for 5 years. Every time you enter you get 180 days.
Does it mean 2x180 entries a year x 5 years or like I am allowed to travel and have, say, 3-4 entries a year without it affecting the overall 5 years timeline?
Questions about the DTV Visa and Entry Procedures in Thailand
Hi everyone,
I’ve received the DTV Visa (5 years, Workation for remote work), and I have a few questions about the entry process and formalities. I’d appreciate it if you could help me out:
1. TM30 Registration:
Do I need to register within 24 hours of entering Thailand?
Can I complete the TM30 form online, or do I have to visit the immigration office in person?
Is the landlord typically responsible for the TM30 registration, or do I need to handle it myself?
Do I need to complete the TM30 registration again after every re-entry, for example, if I leave for a short trip to a neighboring country and return?
2. 180-Day Rule:
I understand I need to leave Thailand every 180 days. Is a short trip to a neighboring country (e.g., Malaysia) enough to get a new entry stamp?
Do I need to present bank documents or other supporting documents upon re-entry, or is my visa and passport sufficient?
Would a single day outside Thailand be enough, or is it better to plan a weekend trip?
3. Additional Requirements for Long Stays:
Besides the TM30 registration, are there any other formalities I need to complete for a longer stay?
4. DTV Visa Types:
Are there different types of DTV visas (e.g., shorter versions or different conditions)? Some people seem to have only a regular tourist visa—how can I tell what applies to me?
I’m a bit confused by the mixed information I’ve found so far and would really appreciate any advice or tips from those with experience. What should I pay attention to, and how can I ensure everything runs smoothly?
Went to get out 60 day visa exemption extended today for 30 days and it could not have been easier.
Went to Krabi Immigration office at 9am and it was getting busy already. We took with us photocopies of our passport and the visa stamp on our passport. We also took along a recent passport photo and 1900 bhats in cash.
The lovely lady there asssited us and we were then seated until we were call to the desk.
Easy peasy and it took us 30 minutes but we could see it could get busier as the day went on - by the way we are from the UK🙏🇹🇭
How do you schedule or book an online appointment for a ED-Visa in Kuala Lumpur? I'm planning on moving by next month on February and i have everything ready but i heard that i have to book an appointment 2 weeks before going🙇♀️
It seems there are literally No visa agents in East Thailand - Nakom Phanom, Mukdahan Area? Have to go all the way tp Khon Kaen to see an agent for help?
Anybody did DTV online or in person at immigration in Cambodja? Currently in Bangkok and was thinking about taking a flight to Phnom Penh. Since it's just an 1hour flight for around 1000-2000baht.
Anyone had any success there or planning the same thing?
What I heard is that they are opening up e-visa.
Does it go faster if you go straight to the immigration?
