I already have the DTV visa and I’m currently in Laos. I’d like to use an agent

[singtho]

Hi everyone,

I already have the DTV visa and I’m currently in Laos. I’d like to use an agent for a safe entry into Thailand. Do I need to fly into Bangkok for this, or is it possible to do it via a land border?

In the past, I paid around 6,000 THB for a safe entry via Bangkok airport when coming from Cambodia (for a 60-day tourist visa), and it went smoothly. I’d prefer to pay and avoid the stress if possible.

Thanks in advance for your help!

You have a multi entry visa. 

There is zero reason for agent safe services.

You are referring to those folk with history or visa exempt entries to Thailand. 

They do not have visas. 

You stated that you have a DTV. 

That is a multi entry visa. 

You will have zero concerns. 

 

Note: in your OP you stated...... "(for a 60-day tourist visa)"

Understand that it's not a 60 day tourist visa.. 

Rather it's a 60 day visa exempt entry. 

Very different things

This is throwing your money away. Better off donating it.

You have a good visa already. Just carry your documentation with you incase it is requested which is unlikely.

Its amazing how much misinformation there is about visas, stamps and immigration, social media is Chinese whispers on steriods.

Did you use an agent to get the DTV in the first instance?

I read a few reports of questions - but no reports of locking DTV people up in immigration-jail at the airport, and making them fly back.

 

I would have copies of all your paperwork used to apply for the DTV, plus proof of payment for the Visa.  I recall one case of some Russian people being questioned at the airport entering on DTVs, and showing their payment-receipt for the visa ended the discussion - but that was when this visa was new. 

 

I would keep an eye out here for reports of problems entering on DTV.  I would not be surprised if "safe entry" was pushed, at some point for DTV entries - but, hopefully not.
