Hello!

We made application for Thai E Visa 13.10.25(two adults) for 20th days,our holiday in January 2026.

Only once Thailand Embassy in Ankara ask us for some documents to attach,we do that.

One of us already they send E Visa,but the other still in progress,and we wait!?

They didn't answer on mail!?

How long can we wait them for answer,get E Visa?

Thanks

So, I'm not sure if this is general knowledge, as I've been told before.

I opened a Bangkok Bank account ten days ago. I then used Wise to transfer ten thousand pounds (400k baht). I also transferred some extra, realizing how quickly Wise worked and that you can be like a Thai and use the QR code with it to pay private accounts. The bank just rang me this afternoon to tell me that the 400k cannot be touched.

It shows I have the money in the bank, but my available balance is only twenty-six thousand. She says it is trapped for 6 months. Luckily, I had put it in there, and I was going to forget about it.

So, each year I have the four hundred k required, but I'm letting people know in case your situation is different.

Just came in yesterday with DTV in hand…. Stamped in for 60 days Visa exemption

So this is the 3rd entry on DTV, second entry on new passport.

Last entry I tried to show them the old passport for which the DTV was issued, the officer didn’t want to see it, just stamped me in.

This time they said we give you 60 days, go to Phuket Immigration and ask to transfer DTV visa to new passport. They were nice and even apologetic, but unmoving.

Today I go to Phuket Immigration and try to transfer the DTV to new passport. The captain said no chance we don’t do that.

The tourist advisory guy said maybe go back to airport, ask for a different officer and ask for the stamp to be changed back to DTV, maybe go with a lawyer.

So that’s where I stand so far.

Anyone had this happen?

Next steps?

Anyone applied for the DTV from Australia while on a visitor’s visa in Sydney? How long it took for an approval?

Has anyone recently applied and received approval in Hanoi? What's the approximate timeline? Thank you.

Hi everyone,

Would love to get your help on the below, and if you ever come up with that request. I submitted my documents to the Belgian embassy with the digital normal workcation (I have a permanent contract here that lets me work from anywhere), and 3 days late,r they came back with the following request for additional documents:

Higher res photo - did you scan or maybe take a picture of your passport-sized photo with your phone? I scanned it to ensure it looks better, but I guess not suitable

2.Other request documents: Since application would get 5 years-visa, please provide the letter of explanation of your plan/ project for the next 5 years in Thailand

Have you ever needed to submit project plan like this - not sure what plan they expect, that maybe I want to take language and cooking courses, perhaps at my own pace and understand the culture better?

Thanks in advance for your help!

The question might be silly and out of place but I thought Dtv folk would get it. when looking for an apartment is okay to stay in a Airbnb or will it jeopardize my Dtv visa?

What should one do if they receive an email from the Thai Consulate asking again for “need accommodation proof in thailand” even though these were already included in the application?

In my case, the original submission already had:

– a confirmed one-way flight ticket to Bangkok

– hotel booking confirmation from booking.com (completely refundable) for the first two weeks in Bangkok

Just want to know if this is a standard follow-up, then what to share with them, or if I should resend the same documents separately.

Hi everyone,

I’m preparing to apply for the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) and I have two quick questions:

• For the bank statement, is a PDF from the banking app acceptable or do I need bank-stamped statements?

• If I registered a freelance company less than a month ago, is it acceptable?

Thanks for your help.

Can I get a multiple entry tourist visa for a 60 day visit in January and return in May. Then do the same in October and January ?I’ll be traveling to and fro from the UK. Can this be done each year? Looking at just under the 6 months in Thailand each year.
