Hi everyone,

Anyone here applying for a DTV from Cambodia? I applied on Oct 5 and was only asked for my arrival stamp on the next day and no further documents have been requested since then.

It’s been a month now with no update. I checked with the embassy this week, and they said the delay is due to a high volume of applications.

Anyone know the longest waiting time for DTV processed in Cambodia?

Thanks In advance 🙏🏼

Hi everyone,

I’ll be visiting the Chennai Thai Consulate soon to submit the demand draft for the DTV visa fee, and I wanted to check if anyone has recent experience there.

Are they currently asking for any unusual or additional documents beyond what’s listed on the official site? I’m a remote worker and will be flying in just for this, so I’m trying to avoid unnecessary travel or costs, especially since I’ve heard of a few rejections due to unexpected documentation requests.

Also, since there’s no active phone line for the Chennai consulate, it’s been difficult to confirm the latest process.

If anyone has submitted their demand draft in the past 3–5 weeks, could you please share what the experience was like and if everything went smoothly once the online form was filled?

Would really appreciate any recent insights. 🙏

Hello!

Used the search function and found some good info on this group, and also quite a few long posts which were a little unrelated... so was hoping this might bring all answers into one!

Applying in UK with British passport.

Question:

-Please can you recommend best/cheapest muay thai gyms in Bangkok, that are experienced with the DTV and applications are successful?

Tiger Eye is currently top of my list, also because they offer yoga/meditation classes as a possible alternative (although not sure if that would be a valid option for DTV application - feel free to answer this too🙂).

Also, in your experience, are 1-mnth only memberships becoming less & less approved (need 3 mnths +)?

Really appreciate your help 🙏

Experience living in Thailand on METV

Hi guys, I currently live In Thailand on DTV but my partner is on metv until he saves up enough money for the dtv. Has anyone had any successful experience renewing your METV after it expires or will the embassy see it as a no-go? Will immigration cause issues for such case?

I know this is not asking for visa advice, but as it's somewhat related I hope you don't mind. I am considering applying for a Thai passport next year on the points system. I know most of the requirements not I looking for clarification on some of them and help with the process.

Hi, I’m currently on a time crunch and I was wondering if anyone bringing pets in cabin with them was able to get an import permit on arrival? It says on the AQS site that you can and my pet meets all the requirements but I’m unsure if I should just rebook my flight or not. I have a valid usda cert and rabies vax as well.

First time 90 day report for my O retirement visa, which I have to do in person.

I will be doing this at Hua Hin main immigration office. Some sites say I can do up to 14 days before due date. Can anyone confirm this as 'friends' have said it's 7 day's. Thanks 🙏

There was a group "Australians in Thailand". It went "Read only", no posting. Anyone knows about that?
