ORIGINAL POSTER
πŸ‡ΉπŸ‡­ DTV Workcation Visa Approved! πŸ‡ΉπŸ‡­

After a long wait, we finally received the good news πŸ™

Our DTV Workcation visa application was approved after approximately 7 weeks.

During the application, I declared that my first stay in Thailand would be 13 days.

While waiting, I sent a polite and respectful email to the embassy just to ask about the status β€” no pressure, no urgency.

And then… approval came πŸŽ‰

This process taught me one thing:

patience, clear documents, and calm communication really work.

Sharing this to encourage others β€” it is possible πŸ‡ΉπŸ‡­πŸ€

Thanks for everything to everyone for their help...

Thank You for your helpful report πŸ‘

Congratulations πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

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.
