ORIGINAL POSTERHi all! Hope anyone was more lucky finding out the details, or maybe was in a similar situation. Coming back to Thailand after 2 months away on a visa arrival (tourist). Will be leaving again in December for a month. I understand I need to be in my home country to apply for DTV? So to get this, I will need to stay as tourist until December and then apply from my home country? Will that 1 month be enough time? Or do I have another option? THANK YOU
TLDR : Answer Summary
The user inquires about whether they need to return to their home country to apply for a DTV visa after being in Thailand on a tourist visa. They also seek clarification on the timeline for applying, given their travel plans in December. Comments suggest that applying from Thailand may be possible, rather than requiring a return home, and share personal experiences with visa processing times.
