ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi, As of July 1, 2025 - 4:15pm my DTV visa was confirmed via email. Clearly lost hope because it’s almost been a month. So confused and happy right now.

After how long should I enter Thailand? How many days is max ? So would it be a problem if I arrived in 10-15 days or 1 month later ?

Thanks ..

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.
