Can you apply for a DTV visa outside of Thailand and re-enter while it's being processed?
DTV visa..
Someone recently told me you can apply for the DTV outside of Thailand, re-enter Thailand whilst it is processed and then leave Thailand and come back in on the DTV. Is this correct?.

Answer summary
The consensus among commenters indicates that applying for a DTV visa from outside Thailand while re-entering the country during processing is not allowed. This practice breaches immigration rules, as applicants must remain in the jurisdiction of the consulate until their application is completed. Some comments suggest that while a few individuals may attempt this and succeed, it poses a substantial risk of application rejection and subsequent complications.

Just no. You have to be in the country where you apply for your DTV till the answer.

no because you need to prove residency of the place you are applying from e.g entry stamp into that country

Go to the embassy website. Read the requirements. You'll find your answer from an official source there telling you that what you're describing is not allowed.

You can try it, but if your DTV application is rejected and you lose your application fee, you'll know why. However, there is a chance you might get away with it

No. When you apply for a dtv at a consulate you must remain in the jurisdiction of that consulate until the application process completes

I thought so too 👍🏻Andi ***********
People do that, some get away with it, others had their DTV rescinded on arrival or at a later date. It is in breach of the rules.

OPAndi Traveller thank you for clarifying . I just wanted to understand if this was normal or a breach.

Bianca Miriama it is a breach and not worth the risk as immigration pays more attention these days.
