How long does it take to get a DTV visa approved after application submission?

im looking at dtv visa myself , i hear a lot easier stay in cambodia though , is true ? and what about laos ?

Did a same day “border run” (not really - it was for work) to Hong Kong. No questions asked as I had been gone for 15 hours only

I would redact some of your information ASAP

Of course, I understand why people do visa runs, but personally I think it's a bit of a waste. Laos is a beautiful country, so why not take your time and stay for a week or two before heading back?

These days, it's very easy to take the train to Luang Prabang or Vang Vieng.

Both countries benefit from it. Your DTV shows that you're staying in the region long-term, so you have the time to actually enjoy the trip instead of rushing in and out.

But of course, it's your decision.

TDV it's to be easy to enter. You apply and aproved to exactly this

I drive my car over to Laos regularly and almost always exit Thailand at one border and re-enter at a different one. It's more fun and I want the flexibility of traveling around on Lao roads and experiencing different borders and roads (I only have two border crossings to go before I've passed through all of them).

In doing so, I am obviously going to be spending several days outside of Thailand and have never had any issues with a DTV. For car drivers, all the larger border checkpoints have a separate immigration line. The line which processes bus passengers and pedestrians tends to be stricter than the vehicle line and this is where people have occasionally had issues, but most of the stories come from same day border runners.

How did you do your DTV?? On your own or through a company??

I need one in my life

Ah they wrote e-visa by pen in my passport 😂
