Hey everyone 👋

I’m filling out my DTV visa application and it asks for an arrival date. I haven’t booked my flights yet, so I’m wondering:

 • If I put a certain arrival date on my application, can I still enter Thailand earlier or later than that?

 • How much flexibility do I actually have as long as I arrive within the visa’s validity period?

Hi Guys,

I recently applied with Jakarta and received notification that I needed to submit additional docs such as an employee certificate.

Before reaching out to my employer, could anyone assist with giving details of what all would need to be included in the employee certificate to be approved?

For Swedish passport holders who applied for and were granted a DTV visa through the online application, what did you enter in the ‘Place of Issue’ field? As it says in mine ‘Polismyndigheten’ no country or city name.
