Quick question: I'm applying for a DTV visa from Germany and then flying to Bangkok with a one-way ticket and on to Chiang Mai. Do I actually need a return ticket? The officials can see in the system that I have a long-term visa, right?

Looking for advice – change of travel date after DTV e-visa submission (London)

Hi all,

I submitted my DTV e-visa application to the Royal Thai Embassy in London on 27 October. The portal still shows *Processing – Pending Document Check*. On my application I put an intended arrival of 1 December, but my plans have changed and I’m now considering travelling on 11 November.

I’m worried my case might be low priority because the original arrival date was a month away, and I’m unsure how best to notify the embassy so the visa arrives in time.

Questions for anyone who’s done this recently:

* Have you changed your travel date after submitting—did it cause any issues or delays?

* Did you email the London e-visa team? If so, which email address worked and what subject line did you use?

* Did you attach your updated flight itinerary or re-upload it on the portal?

* After emailing, how long did it take for them to respond or update the status?

* Any tips on wording so it’s seen as informational (not asking them to amend core details) and possibly helps prioritise due to earlier travel?

For context: I’m not trying to create a duplicate application—just inform them of the new intended travel date and check if they need anything from me.

Thanks in advance for any experiences, email contacts, or practical tips!

Hello! I just got the documents from my Bank, all the statements. But it´s all in Spanish.. Do I need a professional translation service for all of this? right now I´m searching online here in BKK for different places to do this, I hope it´s not too expensive.. as soon as I get this translated I´ll travel to Hanoi to start my DTV process

Thanks

I applied for my DTV through an agency. After it was approved, I entered the country by bus. At immigration, the officer was about to give me only 60 days, even though I had received a PDF confirmation from the agency. After I showed the officer the PDF, I was finally granted the DTV. How is it possible that it wasn’t showing up in the system?

Did anyone change a DTV to a Non-B/Work Permit Within Thailand and what was the cost and how complicated the process?! Thanks
