What is the current process for receiving a Digital Visa (DTV) for Thailand from the embassy in Berlin?

Hey everyone - I submitted my DTV application to the Thai embassy in Berlin on the 8th of January, so I will hopefully hear back soon.

I have read some reports about needing to send in your passport for the visa to be inserted once the application is approved, and others that have said they just received an approval email and then showed that at the border when entering Thailand and they were stamped in with DTV in their passport.

Can anyone shed any light on the actual process that's in place currently?

I am just trying to plan ahead as much as possible, and obviously sending off my passport will take longer than not having to.

Also if anyone has any insight into current processing times at the Berlin embassy it'd be great to know!

Thanks for your help!
