ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
The user is faced with a situation where their DTV visa application is pending and they have a flight to Thailand shortly. Responses highlight a range of opinions: some advise not to enter Thailand while the application is being processed due to possible visa complications and risks of being blacklisted, while others suggest that it is possible to enter on a visa exemption and wait for the DTV approval in Thailand, then re-enter with the DTV once issued. The consensus seems to recommend caution and staying in the jurisdiction of the embassy until the application is complete, to avoid the risk of losing the application.
