ORIGINAL POSTER

We are 2 self employed, flying to get DTV visas in Philippines.

Do we need to stay at Manila and visit the Embassy or we can stay only at the islands and do the entire process online?

In an online case, do we get the DTV visa on the email?

It's not a phisical page in our passports?

TLDR : Answer Summary

The process for obtaining a DTV visa while in the Philippines does require a visit to the Thai embassy in Manila, as the online evisa option is not available for this country. After applying, if approved, you will receive an emailed document to print and present upon entering Thailand, rather than getting a physical visa stamped in your passport.

DTV VISA RESOURCES / SERVICES

I travelled to Manila in December and once you select Philippines as the country it states you need to visit the local Thai embassy there as the evisa is not an option for the Philippines.

You will apply via the Evisa system, from the Phillipines.

When you are approved you will print out the emailed document and enter Thailand.

Show the printed document with your passport.

Can you apply for a Thai DTV visa from Vietnam, Bali, or another country if you're currently located elsewhere?

Can I apply for the DTV Visa online and use the approval PDF for entry into Thailand without going to the Embassy?
