Can I change my travel date after submitting a DTV e-visa application to the Thai Embassy in London?

Question

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!

A user submitted a DTV e-visa application for travel to Thailand and wants to change their intended arrival date. They are concerned about how to notify the embassy and whether this may delay their visa processing. Community comments advise the user to wait for the visa completion without making changes or sending inquiries, as altering travel dates post-application may complicate the process.

Don't mail, don't ask questions, don't change dates. Let the process happen naturally. There is no high or low priority. Your visa can be processed in 2 days or 1 month, no one knows. About travel dates: They are as irrelevant to embassy as British cuisine, quoting [mention redacted] .

Remain where you are until the visa process completes even if that means having to change your travel plans

Just wait. They don't answer emails. If you leave the country before you get your DTV you run the risk of it being denied because you are no longer in the country. You can not change any detail after you apply.
