How did my son get his DTV visa so quickly and what should I know about the process?

Easy to do yourself

An Immigration Officer at the nearest Immigration Office insists that all copies be 'Photocopies' and not 'Scans'. I've asked at photocopy stores "what is the difference?" and they all agree that 'there is no difference'. Hmmm. So, what's going on here?

So, he successfully received a DTV E–Visa from the Thai Consulate in Los Angeles based on the DTV Soft Power Category via Thai Cooking Courses??

How long from the day of making payment of USD $400 Dollars for the DTV E–Visa Fee did it take to process his DTV and successfully receive his DTV E–Visa PDF File??

It is a lot harder for Thais to get the US b visa. How unfair.

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.

Is your son a digital nomad (called workcation category)?

That's great, congrats! But doesn't everyone have to do it by themselves??

Congratulations! If your schedule and time permits, share your journey here so as to help others who can learn from your success.

That’s amazing! Congrats!!!

Where did he apply?
