Can I leave Indonesia and return to Thailand while my DTV visa application is pending?

Hello! Need help for DTV visa

I’m currently waiting for my DTV visa application for Thailand to be approved.

Right now, I’m in Indonesia, but my 30-day stay permit is about to expire.

As a Philippine passport holder, I was told that Indonesia doesn’t offer an extension for my current stay, and the overstay penalty is 1 million IDR per day.

My question is:

Can I go back to Thailand under the visa exemption/visa-free entry while my DTV application is still pending? Will it affect my application in any way?

Alternatively, can I travel to another country in Asia while waiting for the DTV approval, or do I need to remain in Indonesia until a decision is made?

Has anyone been in a similar situation recently? I’d really appreciate any advice or shared experiences.

Thank you so much! 🙏
Answer summary
A Philippine passport holder waiting for DTV visa approval should remain in Indonesia until the application is processed, as leaving may forfeit the pending visa application. Since Indonesia does not allow an extension of the visa-free entry stamp, contacting the Thai embassy in Jakarta for advice or potential expediting of the application is recommended.

You need to remain in Indonesia until your DTV application is complete. If you leave you will likely forfeit your application, Indonesia are known to check you remain in the country prior to issuing the visa. As a Philippines passport holder you can't extend a free entry stamp, if you paid for a visa you can get a 30 day extension. The best thing you can do is contact the Thai embassy in Jakarta, explain the situation, and see if they will expedite your application
