Has anyone recently entered the country with a DTV visa after a history of exempt visas with the new regulations?

Any recorded problems entering with DTV by plane these days?

I am in Nusa Penida, Bali. I received Visa interview email today around 4:30 pm local time. The scheduled time for the interview tomorrow in Thai Embassy, Jakarta is 9:30 am Jakarta time. I can't attend the interview tomorrow morning because of the unavailability of the transport (Penida to Bali ferry). Did anyone ever reschedule their interview?

Updated:

I have rescheduled the interview via email.

Question:

Can I leave Indonesia after the interview is done? Or do I have to wait here until the approval?

Update:

I attended the visa interview today. At the end of the interview, the interviewer mentioned that I must not leave Indonesia before I get an update, and they might ask for more documents. But after 5-6 hours, I received the visa approval email.

Thanks to everyone who helped me with the information. I used a lot of information / helpful documents shared by other people in this group. Special thanks to them.

Hi everyone,

My spouse holds a DTV, and I’ll be applying as a dependent. My question is: If I stay in Thailand under the dependent visa, can I continue working remotely for an employer outside Thailand (with no Thai clients, no Thai-based income, no Thai employment or business operations)? Thanks in advance for any insights or official/lived references/anecdotes you may have.

I received my DTV visa. I haven't been to Thailand in two years. But when I went, I used the land visa and overstayed my visa by 14 days three times. Should I worry that I won't be allowed into Thailand? Thanks for answering!

Has anyone recently applied through the embassy in Malaysia? What was the process like and how long did it take? Were you called for an interview? If so, what was it like and how should you prepare?

An I ask the group, is the 5 year visa x5 of 180 day periods? And would you prefer it to non-o / non-b? I need to support working remotely as a network security engineer / cybersecurity engineer

Hello! I’m planning to apply through workation next month in Taipei. One question - my contract renews every quarter, and I’ll have only about 1.5 months left when I apply. Will this be an issue?

I have my previous contracts and pay slips from the same company without any gaps.

Thank you in advance!

😻 I HAVE 2 get my cat’s vaccinations 2day we r already pushing the time limit b4 flight

Only want info from ppl who have taken their pet to Thailand. Iv been on embassy,customs,livestock,etc websites Thai and Spain consulates, PetTraveller also. All websites say different things. Which vax are compulsory which are recommended.

Also I need the official documents / certificates the vet needs to fill out before/during her vax… but the links I’ve been given to docs/site pages have errors.

I’ve emailed all these places and called many times Spain Thai embassy and all those listed above in Thailand.

Apparently it’s the livestock import who has 100% answers but from my experience with gov sites they sometimes don’t update the current requirements.

Also their email to send documents to is bouncing back saying non existent, and the document link on their site doesn’t open.

The vet needs the official docs otherwise he can’t vax her

PLEASE IF U KNOW FROM EXPERIENCE HELL

🙏

If I’ve visited Thailand twice already earlier this year will it affect me entering again just before Xmas. Even if the flights were booked before the new rules came in
