ORIGINAL POSTER

Approved! Phew! 😮‍💨 

I was having issues with missing documents as they were requesting a birth certificate, but it was going to take up 4 weeks for me to receive from my government. 

Sent them a word document with the information above and I got called in for an interview. 

I made it very clear that I was only working and taking money from my own country and other countries, not Thailand. The interviewer said “I’m very happy you understand that”, check my bank balance and I was approved one minute after walking outside of the embassy! 

Thanks for the help, all! ❤️

The interview went well, leading to quick approval after checking their bank balance. Commenters celebrated the user's success and shared tips about printing the DTV visa email for travel purposes and inquired about the specific embassy involved in the application.

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.

Did you say you were getting income from outside Thailand before or did you say you plan to only get income from outside Thailand?
