Anyone got approved recently for DTV through the Jakarta embassy ? Applied last week still pending document check …

Hello, I need help. I'm currently taking a bus from Bangkok to the Cambodian border to leave the country for a while and then go back straight away (DTV visa required every 180 days). Do I need a visa to Cambodia to cross the border? And will I be able to get one at the border?

📌 Urgent Information Needed Regarding DTV Visa – Manila Thai Embassy

Hello everyone,

I would like to ask a few important questions:

1. Has anyone applied for a DTV visa at the Thai Embassy in Manila?

2. If so, how long did the processing take?

3. Has anyone received visa approval in June?

I’m planning to apply as a Freelancer, and I already have 500,000 THB in my bank account (financial proof is ready).

I would really appreciate it if anyone who has recent experience could kindly share their timeline and advice.

Thank you so much 🙏

Hello everyone,

I applied for the DTV visa in Jakarta on May 25, and today marks the 10th day since submission.

So far, I haven’t received any updates—no request for additional documents or communication of any kind.

I would like to ask:

Why might it be taking longer than expected?

How many more days should I expect to wait, approximately?

Has anyone received visa approval in early June already?

Thank you in advance for any information shared.

*Please ensure that all required documents are thoroughly prepared before submission. There is no need to rush the process, as the embassy does not strictly count processing days. Instead, they aim to issue a decision as quickly as possible once a complete and well-organized application is received. Including any additional documents that may support your case can also help facilitate a faster approval.*

Approved from Cambodia. 4 weeks

We're intending to apply for the DTV and then rent a house in Chiang Mai for a few years (kids will attend a private coop group). I understand we need to border hop every six months but I want to know is it necessary to go to different airports so it doesn't look like we're trying to be permanent residents?

We won't stay longer than five years but when I think about it we're not necessarily 'tourists'. Thanks

Hello people, i am talking to people who already apply for DTV Visa in chicago, what are additional documents will they ask me for?

The additional documents that I do have is LLC and Employer identification number if they need it so what other documents they will ask me for please need this information.

Bangkok Bank update:

I have had this account for several years, initially opened on a tourist visa.

Because of all the confusion about accounts getting closed I visited the local branch today for peace of mind.

They said no problem with older accounts.

For these they look at cash flow to prevent money laundering…Large amount of money in and then out again.

Regular monthly deposits and bills paid online are normal and proper use of the account.

They are contacting people by email if there account issues.

USA passport on DTV visa. Account in Chiang Mai. 5 June 2025.

I hope this helps…..I was really freaked out with all the news of BB accounts getting closed.
