Hello, I'm German and I'm staying in Thailand as a tourist for another week. They want that. 2 weeks I instructed an agency to apply for a DTV visa for me. Can there be problems because I'm not in Germany?

Hallo ich bin Deutscher und befinde mich noch eine Woche als Tourist in Thailand . Vor ca. 2 Wochen beauftragte ich eine Agentur für mich ein DTV Visum zu beantragen. Kann es Probleme geben, weil ich nicht in Deutschland bin?

Answer summary

The inquiry addresses whether it's possible to obtain a DTV visa while currently in Thailand as a tourist. Responses clarify that the DTV visa must be applied for through an embassy or consulate outside of Thailand, and it's necessary to stay in the location of application for the entire processing duration. Therefore, the application cannot be successfully completed while physically present in Thailand.

You can not make DTV inside Thailand.

Have to stay in the country you apply in, for the whole processing time.

You have to apply for the DTV through an embassy/consulate outside Thailand, not necessary your home country.
