ORIGINAL POSTER
Update: DTV approved after interview in Karachi embassy.

The ambassador was very nice, friendly, and shared some pro tips as well. When I entered, he mentioned that the ministry has asked me to check your contracts (I work on Upwork as a full time freelancer). After I showed him my profile live with a few contracts, he stopped me and said, "that's enough, I'm satisfied." I asked him a few questions regarding the visa and then left the embassy.

In 90 mins, I got my visa on email. Alhamd o Lillah

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.
