Hello everyone,

I am a DTV visa holder. I have applied for a DTV visa for my son online at the Royal Thai Consulate-General in Qingdao, and the current status is "pending approval." I would like to ask if I can take my son to enter Thailand with a visa exemption while the application is still pending. Will this affect the current visa process?

Thank you very much for your help.

Answer summary

The user inquires about taking their son to Thailand using a visa exemption while their DTV visa application is pending. Responses confirm that entering Thailand on a visa exemption will not affect the ongoing visa application process, but to activate the new DTV visa after approval, he will need to exit Thailand and re-enter.

It doesn't affect that he enters with visa exemption. Once he got visa out and in again with DTV.

From what I understand, yes. He would enter Thailand with a tourist visa. But to validate the DTV visa, he would need to leave and re-enter with the new visa.
