At any point did you have to physically go to the embassy? Or was it all on line? I'm in Hanoi mid February and thinking of doing the same. Thanks.

Seems like made a mistake applying from Jarkata, Indonesia. More than 10 working days, still not even went through first initial stage of document check.

Easy when you meet the requirements, enjoy 5 years of hassle free travel in & out of Thailand. Remember to enter your dtv no in the Visa box on the online tdac form when returning to Thailand
