ORIGINAL POSTER

Success DTV Jakarta. 

Soft power: Muaythai fever Chiang mai.(Derry from this group did the paperwork, very professionally)

I'm an Australian passport holder 

Applied Friday March 14th evening

Wednesday 19th emailed to come in to Embassy for Appoinment  on Thursday 20th 2 pm. 

At appoinment I was asked strange questions e.g 1.Have you done muaythai before? (I said "yes" I have.) 2 .What is your job back in Australia?(I said I was unemployed, but my family owns a restaurant which I help run when I'm there, which is true. they then checked on google maps to see the restaurant)  3. If you have a child in Thailand why not apply for a non-o visa? (my daughter is about to turn 18 so I needed a different kind of visa) I answered truthfully to each question. 

Thursday 6:15 pm  Visa came through *APPROVED *

A very stressful 6 days, being in limbo. 

Thanks for everyone that posted information here, it helped  me out a lot. 

Jakarta city: I'm sorry to say this but, Jakarta is a very quiet and boring place. I can't wait to leave., I wish I went to Bali instead.

Thank You for your helpful report 👍

Congratulations 👏👏👏

PRINT OUT THE EMAIL THAT HAS YOUR DTV VISA.

That's what you should do... print it out.

You may have to show PROOF of your DTV Visa to airline staff on check-in for your flight ✈️ to Thailand...even to the connecting airline staff. Or to the land border crossing entry Thai Immigration Officer.

Upon arrival into Thailand, show the DTV visa to the Thai Immigration Officer and look at the STAMP placed in your passport to be sure you are STAMPED in for 180 days.

Congrats on your DTV. Derry has a good rep for DTV applications . Where did you stay in Jakarta? I have been several times as part of longer trips in Indonesia. would not say it was boring, there are good day trips you can make from there.
