DTV approved. I applied as a business owner to the Los Angeles consulate. They did require additional documentation, but the entire process took just a couple days.

I organized my documents with a table of contents into 1 pdf.  One document they requested that I didn’t have is a business license. However, I just included a letter explaining why I didn’t need this. A big thank you to this group.

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.
