How far in advance are people applying for their DTV? Thanks peeps! 😀
Answer summary
The general consensus among commenters is to apply for the DTV visa 4-6 weeks prior to travel, but it is recommended by Thai embassies to apply within 3 months of your planned trip. The processing times may vary by location, with some citing shorter timelines, such as 2 weeks in the UAE.
