DTV Visa - appplication KL

It took me 6 working days to get my visa.

I applied Tuesday, they asked for additional documents Friday late afternoon, I delivered yesterday afternoon, approval today!

NOTE:

They still require you to go to the embassy of the country, where your employers company is located to authenticate your contract + company's registration/business license.

DO THAT before you send the documents to the Thai Embassy and it save you time.

As this requirement was off their website, I thought the online process changed that - but no, they still require it!

The US embassy let me in without an upfront booked appointment, but I would not count on this.

I am positive, if I'd delivered the US Embassy authentication letter straight on Friday, I'd have the visa already on Monday.

TLDR : Answer Summary

The application process for the DTV Visa at the Thai Embassy in Kuala Lumpur typically takes about 6 working days. Applicants need to provide authentic documents, including an authenticated employment contract and business registration from the employer's country. It is advisable to complete this authentication before submitting documents to the Thai Embassy to avoid delays. While the US embassy allowed entry without a prior appointment, it is recommended to ensure all documents are ready to prevent any issues.

I know it isn't the easiest embassy on that, but I so wanted to spend time in KL 😄

It's all online. You could have applied through any of the 3 embassies in Malaysia, so why did you choose KL? That's the most difficult embassy in Malaysia

also, someone told me you cannot apply from any place in Malaysia at any of the embassies.

I haven't investigated that further, but it would make sense.

In Germany, I must apply at the Embassy in Frankfurt, I cannot do it at the Berlin embassy, as this is not my region.

as I said, it had to be KL, for many reasons.

Penang seems to be worse these days.

Honestly, beside this contract approval, was easy
