How to contact Phnom Penh? I submitted and paid on 30oct2025, additional documents on 7nov. Since then, Pending Approval. I emailed them 5 days ago, no reply. I called several times, ringing, then hangs up. I can stay in Cambodia until 27nov and now getting concerned if I get the visa in time.

With current tightening of visa rules, I might get problems to enter Thailand on another visa exempt. What do IOs think about people who enter Thailand while their visa is processing? Fortunately I'm flexible in space and time, can extend my stay in Cambodia or go to Lao and wait until I get the visa. But I don't like the idea of traveling around without an idea if and when I get my DTV.

Has anyone been approved from Frankfurt Consulate in the last few weeks? I feel like they shut down everything and no one is working there anymore.

Hi everyone 👋

I’m currently looking into health insurance options suitable for DTV holders in Thailand. So far, I’m considering:

• AXA

• Allianz

• Pacific Cross

For anyone already on a DTV - which provider did you choose, and how has your experience been?

Are there any other companies you would recommend?

Also, if you know a reliable insurance agent who can guide me through the process, please feel free to share their contact details.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions! 🙏💙

I just got invited for an interview to embassy in Nepal! Is that a good sign? And what might they ask? I did soft power DTV.. it’s a one year course. Anyone got rejected from interview? What gets asked? Anyone did in Nepal?

Hi all , my family of four including me , are planning a years stay in Thailand next year, can anyone advise what visa we will need and how much it will cost please

Hi everyone, I am from California, USA. Our arrival date to Bangkok, Thailand is March 10, 2026.

I was in the middle of applying for the DTV - but I had to stop midway because the Thai E-visa online site said "Applicant should not apply for visa more than 3 months before the date of intended arrival". So I'm too early as of today. I then should wait until December 15ish.

1) Just curious if anyone applied exactly at the 3 month mark and how long it took? Did it take about 2 weeks?

2) I am first applying then I will have my husband and 2 children (ages 9 and 6) apply as dependents if I am approved. I have been reading mixed comments about needing about $50,000 USD as a family to apply. I was hoping that's not true. Anyone with experience with just $25-$30k USD in their savings account for a family of 4?

I hope it won't take too long to get approved. Thanks so much for any help or advice!

anyone know anything about applying from Los Angeles?

Can someone confirm this for me?

With the DTV visa, the maximum stay is 180 days per year, right?

And even though you can extend every 90 days (or exit and re-enter), the total annual limit is still only 180 days?

I just want to make sure that the DTV does NOT allow staying in Thailand for more than 6 months per year.

I have dtv visa i get in march this year and i stayed 180 days after that i travel to vietnam for a week and come back and that time their is no new visa rules and they didnt ask me anything and i came normally without hustle . But if i go again and come back do i need to show them proof of 500k in bank acount and also does i need to show my soft thai activities program again which is already completed but this time do i neeed to show again ?

Hey everyone! I am wondering if anyone here applied for their spouse's DTV visa? I got my DTV recently, what's the experience like? Can I be the guarantor? Or does she need the 500k on her bank account too?

I searched through some of the posts here, but couldn't find any info, thanks in advance :)
