How soon before travel should I apply for DTV???

Answer summary

To apply for a DTV visa for Thailand, it's advised to submit your application no later than 3 months before your intended travel date. However, processing times can vary based on your location, and it's recommended to check with your local consulate's website for specific details. Additionally, consider factoring in a week for potential delays or requests for further documentation. Some applicants have experienced longer wait times, so applying closer to your travel date may sometimes expedite the process if handled in person.

I think it depends on what country you are applying from. I applied 1 month 1 week before departure in NYC. 1 month later it still hadn’t been approved. When I went down to the embassy, they told me they process the applications based on when you say you are departing not when received. They approved me that day.

Check your consulate's website about processing times + add 1 week for delays/additional document requests.
