Do I need to stay in the country where I applied for a Thailand visa until it is approved?

@David *******

hope all goes well for you. We are seeing reports of added documents requested by Hanoi. BUT they can be emailed to them in reply.

@David *******

thank you for sharing this. There are other Thai Embassy's and Consulates which have posted it on their website. I've tried to remember which ones. Thanks again 👍

@James *******

it didn’t really matter, I can apply in Hanoi. But I’ll be in Da Nang so still a long way for an interview

Australia Thai Embassy states...as David French shared:

Paris Thai Embassy states:

"The applicant must be physically on French/Algerian/Monegasque territory when the visa is issued."

@Peter ******

I don't run a visa agency !!!

...I am a Moderator on Thai Visa Advice forum.

...I don't have any affiliation with Thai Visa Centre in Bangkok.

...Yes they own Thai Visa Advice...but we don't allow any discussion of using any Thai Visa Agent on the forum. As the Thai Visa Advice forum " is for those who are doing it yourself" forum.

...Please get your facts straight before making such a statement about my volunteer services provided on several Facebook forums...preCovid, during COVID-19 and now as Thailand has reopened.

I suggest you ask the Thai Embassy or Consulate where you are going to make your application for the DTV visa..

Your question about the need to stay in the country where you make application until you get the DTV Visa answer approved or denied. That way you will know what that country's requirement is about the need to stay.

I have seen such a requirement posted on several Thai Embassies or Consulates websites.

Sorry if I have not pleased you with my answers. Take care 🤗

@James *******

please I ask again write here this rule what are you talking about! You just say nothing I know you run a visa agency and skimming off money from people for something what they can do without you for free thats ok but you don't have a straight answer where is that rule written?

@Peter ******

Good Luck 🍀 as you are not following the rules of the DTV visa. Enough! Do as you wish.

@James *******

no have this rule only rule you can't be in Thailand during the application and if they ask you for interview you have to show up. so please don't mislead people with wrong information!

@Peter ******

use the search 🔍 tool top of the forum page. There's several Thai Embassy's and Consulates which have posted on their websites... stay in the country until your application has been approved or denied.
