Anyone have any experience going the Washington DC immigration office. Applied for DTV Visa on June 15th and still awaiting documentation check. A bit nervous since I have flight on August 1st

Answer summary

The average processing time for a DTV Visa at the Thai Embassy in Washington DC appears to be around 11 to 15 business days, with members sharing experiences of receiving approvals ranging from 11 to 15 days. Many users expressed confidence that the applicant will receive an update before their flight on August 1st, as past experiences suggest that approvals generally do not require additional documentation.

I was approved from the DC embassy recently. Mine took just under 3 weeks. Yours is at 13 business days today. If there were any Thai holidays, it’s less than 13 days. You are probably getting close. Hang in there.

Mine took almost exactly 15 days to hear back about 3 weeks ago.

Then request for more docs took 48 hours.

I suspect you'll hear back pretty soon.

There's NO in person contact with the Thai Embassy in Washington DC, unless they request it. Which is unlikely to happen.

Be patient, you should learn of their decision before your planned flight ✈️.
