Just got approved from Colombo Sri Lanka

Applied: december 1st in the evening

Requested additional documents (all passport pages only) december 2nd in the morning

Submitted all passort pages 16:00

December 3: got asked for an interview december 4th

Went to the interview was a little chat less then 5 minutes gave copies of all the documenets

Got approved in the evening at december 4th

Took less then 4 days.

Dtv -> freelancer 

Seems like a super smooth process and didn’t got asked anything besides the things on the Thai Embassy website

They do require 6 months statements but it’s fine if the money was there for 3 months although I’m not sure if they only want final balance above 500k+ or 3 months 500k+

As I didn’t find to much information in the group about applying there wanted to share my experience.

It seems like it’s a very good embassy and goes super quick they told me 2 working days (additional documents will reset this)

Got mine in 3

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.
