How long does it take for DTV approval in Manila?

Hi Eric, the approval time depends on a number of factors. Generally it takes longer for DTV visa under the Workcation category (freelancer and remote workers) due to the extra documentation required. Approval time would be around 2-3 weeks.

Under DTV Soft Power category (enrolling in Thai cultural program), our students generally get approved after 10-17 days. This is assuming all other documentation are in order (i.e. bank statements, clean Thai travel history, no criminal history).

We've had quite a number of our students have their DTV visa approved from the Thai Embassy in Manila, feel free to reach out if you have anymore questions!

2-3 weeks from our cooking class students experience

We've done quite a few in Manilla. They tend to approve after a lot of random document requests.

I heard Laos is the best for that - good to hear there are at least a couple of other options!
