My soft power DTV was just approved today. I literally just submitted my 2 dependent DTV. How long does it usually take for dependent DTV’s? I applied at the Chicago Thai consulate.
Answer summary
After applying for a dependent DTV at the Chicago Thai consulate, the processing times can vary. Users report that while some have received approvals within 3 to 7 days, others have experienced waits of up to 15 business days, especially if there are additional document requests or delays due to high application volumes. It's advisable to ensure all necessary documentation is submitted properly to avoid complications.

My dependents DTV visa was approved today no additional day. Submitted assume as mine was approved Thursday and they were approved today.
Sawadee, congrats on your soft power DTV approval, nice step. For dependent DTV after main approval, Chicago usually takes around five to fifteen business days. Some families get it in one week if papers are clear, some wait three weeks if embassy asks for more proof.
Since you just filed at Chicago Thai consulate, make sure you uploaded your DTV approval, marriage or birth proof, and financial proof for dependents. Chicago is quite strict on relation papers so keep originals ready in case they ask for chat.
You could consider reading a book or two before your trip. I’d recommend Unlock Thailand by Isla Rey on Amazon, it includes all the info and insights you need. You should check it out. A very good companion 👌.
I realize that depending on what state you’re in they have you apply at the specific embassy. Was there any documents that you had to apply (ID Card,License, address on bank statement) to verify your state?
Just got my dependent’s DTVs (3 of them) yesterday from the Chicago Consulate. Took 7 days. Unfortunately there is a Thai holiday coming up so they will be closed.
I was planning on calling Monday to inform them about my dependents application because I had to call in to get them to move on approving mine. I wish you can link accounts.
