Can I apply for a Thai DTV visa in Poland if I'm traveling to Vietnam before processing?

You’re wrong. Show me one case of anyone being refused entry to Thailand with an approved DTV for that reason. There are zero documented examples.

Correct ✅ Stay in Poland until the decision is known. Good Luck 🍀

@Marcin ********

yes, but they might ask you to send or show a proof of location three or more days later. What would you do then?

There’s actually nothing in Thai visa regulations that requires you to stay physically in the country where you applied, especially for an electronic visa. The whole process is online, the visa is issued electronically, and there’s no physical passport handling at the embassy. So there’s no legal basis to say you must remain in Poland. You’re free to travel while the application is being processed, and it won’t affect an e-visa.

For a DTV visa, it makes even zero ( 0 ) sense to argue that you must remain in the country where you applied. The DTV is designed for digital mobility, and the requirements concern your income and remote-work eligibility — not your “physical location” during processing. The visa is electronic, delivered by **email** and linked to your passport number, with no “in-person” step at the embassy. You are completely free to apply in Vienna, then travel to Vietnam, and even be in Papua New Guinea or Tahiti when the e-visa is issued. There is no Thai regulation that obliges you to stay put like a sacred cow while waiting for an electronic DTV visa.

Wrong
