Hi! My Australian BF is patiently awaiting the results of his DTV application in Sydney… has anyone done this too? He is a remote worker, freelancer so not going through the muy thai/cooking pathway.

If so, how long was your wait period….until you found out? They requested some extra documents but now I think it’s in the review processing phase… we hope!

And also… anyone been rejected?

🙏🏼

TLDR : Answer Summary
Many applicants shared their experiences regarding the Thailand DTV visa application process. Typical wait times vary, with mentions of 10 business days for standard applications, but it can extend to 4-6 weeks if additional documents are requested. One user reported their wait took 12 days, while another experienced a 2-week wait. It's noted that specific requirements, such as providing a resume and employer confirmation for remote workers, may also affect processing times. Several commenters expressed concerns about potential rejections during the process.
