TLDR : Answer Summary

The conversation discusses the costs associated with obtaining the DTVisa in Thailand, which officially costs 10,000 baht. However, users report varying prices depending on their location and whether they use agents, with some agents charging between 30,000 to 100,000 baht in Laos. Several commenters share their own experiences, mentioning fees from different countries, such as 340 USD in Vietnam and 2,000 NZD in New Zealand, and some mention issues with visa rejections due to minor name discrepancies. Overall, the content reflects on the complexities and concerns surrounding the visa application process, especially regarding agent fees and potential rejections.

Mine got rejected due to a mismatch in my name and my passport. Paid 340 USD.

I wrote my name Bjorn instead of Bjoern (in my passport). Do you think they will allow me to change that or do they really expect me to pay another 340 just for one letter?

They expect you to pay for YOUR mistakes.

It's not really a mistake, I mean there is nothing in the application that says that if my name contains Ø that I have to write OE, in both instructions and manual it only says "as written in your passport" and the closest you can get to an Ø is an O.

I read this - is it true? It makes no sense that us NZers should pay so much more 🧐

Well... sense or not... whatever their reason is/was... they changed the visa fees in March from "normal" to "crazy"...

And when the DTV came new in July the price was set to 2,000 NZD.

I'd think twice about using an agent if you don't have the required funds. I can see immigration asking to see proof in online banking in future re-entries.

Laos charges the 10k THB but majority of embassies apply their own exchange rate/mark up. Agents in Thailand charging for Laos range from 30K THB to 100K THB depending on the level of "service" needed.
