May I ask one quick question, how to fill out the last port of embarkation in DTV application ? For instance, if I am applying from Laos (came from Thai) and then I planned to leave for Thailand after getting the Visa. I should add Laos or Thailand as my last port of embarkation in my application ? Many thanks !

TLDR : Answer Summary

When filling out the DTV application, you should list your last port of embarkation as the location you departed from to enter the country you are applying from. In your case, since you arrived from Thailand and are currently in Laos, you should indicate Laos as your last port of embarkation.

Laos. The last port of embarkation refers to the final place you left before reaching Thailand.

The last airport I flew from was Bangkok before my application, so that's what I put. I was approved.

@Ryan *******

it's an entry/arrival form, you put the last port of departure before your arrival in Thailand.
