DTV Visa Approved Los Angeles  24 hour turnaround.

DTV – Soft Power (Thai Culinary Classes, 6 month)

Actually surprised by the 24 hour turnaround for approval, applied yesterday Jan 4th, approved on Jan 5th.

No additional documents requested.

Employment status: Student

Funds: More than sufficient

Documents uploaded:

Passport, Selfie, Acceptance letter, 3 months of bank statements with opening and closing balances highlighted, and a California Driver's license as proof of current location.

Almost surprisingly easy.

Thank You for your helpful report 👍

Congratulations 👏👏👏

PRINT OUT THE EMAIL THAT HAS YOUR DTV VISA.

That's what you should do... print it out.

You may have to show PROOF of your DTV Visa to airline staff on check-in for your flight ✈️ to Thailand...even to the connecting airline staff. Or to the land border crossing entry Thai Immigration Officer.

Upon arrival into Thailand, show the DTV visa to the Thai Immigration Officer and look at the STAMP placed in your passport to be sure you are STAMPED in for 180 days.
