Are there any Chinese citizens that have successfully applied and received their DTV e visa? It is proving to be very difficult to apply from China with the embassy taking your application fee and telling you to apply at another embassy. I am thinking to rather go to Jakarta and apply but it is actually ridiculous I should be able to apply from here. I am applying as a a spouse and my husband is a DTV holder. I have applied at the embassy in Chengdu they did not return my application fee and told me to apply at a different embassy in Kunming.

Hello anyone from Myanmar applied and received DTV visa with medical activities under Thai Soft power activities? Thanks in advance

DTV approved today from Vietnam HCMC!!! I’m so happy!

I applied as a freelancer on Tuesday morning and received the e-visa this afternoon (by e-mail).

They asked 3 times for further documents (on Tuesday afternoon, this morning and this afternoon).

So it was stressful. I am finally feel relieved.🙏

Hello dear DTV'ers,

I wish to share my experience as I hadn't read a clear guidance on what happens when we leave Thailand while on the DTV visa. Yes, we know that it's a multi entry visa, but here is the interesting twist that I can confirm ( At least from my experience).

I first arrived in Thailand on August 2nd, expiration date: January 28 2025. Then I left the country for about 10 days in October. Entered Thailand on October 16th...my new expiration date is April 13th 2025. I find this situation very interesting as we also have the choice of renewing once a year with immigration(we'll see how that goes). One question is still unanswered, 180 + 180 (renewal)= 360, if we choose this path, what happens with those 5 missing days to complete the year?

I hope that this post will help put a little light with this fantastic visa.

Cheers

Anyone else looking forward to never having to input this captcha again

Hi, what are your thoughts on Sin Sod and how is it worked out, do thai families still keep it or do they give it back after the wedding?

Hey Everyone,

I’m wondering if anyone has had experience with getting the DTV Visa from Cambodia through the new E-visa system?

I was really hoping to apply in person, but they’ve fully switched online now. My biggest concern is that I cannot properly submit all the paperwork I prepared because the online submission only allows for 1x3MB file. I’m applying as a freelancer and need to submit my portfolio, and US Business Registration, and I can’t fit it all into a small enough file.

My plan initially was to print out all of the paperwork and kind of overkill the paperwork side with proof of everything, my portfolio and 6 months bank statements, etc. Now I’m just nervous I won’t be approved, because I can’t fit it all onto the application online.

My flight/hotel is already booked in Phnom Penh for next week. Hoping for the best but any reassurance, or insight would be greatly appreciated 🙏🏼

Hey there everyone,

is it true that if you leave after 180 days and then you return, you again ca. Have to pay 300€?

In my opinion, you only have to pay for DTV once.

Thank you for your replies

Hallo zusammen,

stimmt es, dass wenn man nach 180 Tagen ausreist und man dann wieder einreist, man nochmal ca. 300€ bezahlen muss?

Meiner Meinung nach, muss man doch nur einmalig für das DTV zahlen.

Vielen Dank für eure Antworten

I have a friend that successfully received their DTV visa and used their credit card statement address as proof of residency. Has anyone else tried this or is this up to interpretation? I've only ever heard of people using rental contracts or utility bills.
