DTV Visa Chennai Thai Consulate Visa Application Process Required Documents Remote Work Visa Visa Processing Expat Advice

ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi everyone,

I’ll be visiting the Chennai Thai Consulate soon to submit the demand draft for the DTV visa fee, and I wanted to check if anyone has recent experience there.

Are they currently asking for any unusual or additional documents beyond what’s listed on the official site? I’m a remote worker and will be flying in just for this, so I’m trying to avoid unnecessary travel or costs, especially since I’ve heard of a few rejections due to unexpected documentation requests.

Also, since there’s no active phone line for the Chennai consulate, it’s been difficult to confirm the latest process.

If anyone has submitted their demand draft in the past 3–5 weeks, could you please share what the experience was like and if everything went smoothly once the online form was filled?

Would really appreciate any recent insights. 🙏

Well you can not be flying in just for paying, you have to stay in the jurisdiction of that embassy for the whole duration of the visa process, and may be called in for an interview.

If asked for additional documentation the visa processing clock resets to zero, so you need to take that into account when planning.

They have an active phone line and it works.... Maybe the last fews days were off due to the Queen mother's passing.

Any additional requested document you will have to submit online, only the dd is required to be submitted in person, if you have any friends in chennai u can arrange for dd pickup from your bank at any branch in chennai and ask them to submit it, you don't need to go there by yourself.
