I got approved yesterday afternoon in Vientiane 🇱🇦, filled out TDAC at Wattay international airport, entered Thailand through Suvannabhumi airport last night, no questions asked, officer just scanned  the QR on my e-visa on my phone, he was even smiling (must be in a good mood 🤭)

I checked the stamp, confirmed it was for 6 months

I was on Non-Ed visa, cancelled it at the immigration before I left for Laos 

Workation 

Freelancer 

Applied on June 22, paid on June 23, interview was yesterday morning, 12 business days in total, worth the wait!!! 

Let me know if you have any questions. I will try my best to answer them.

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.

I didn’t print out my visa, everything was on my phone, but will do it soon just to follow the trend 😁

The interview was quite straightforward

- tell me about yourself

- what’s your job?

- what will you do in Thailand?

- how are the company registration certificate and recommendation letter sent to you?

- how is your salary paid?

- where will you stay in Thailand?

- show me your bank details on your mobile banking app ( detailed inspections of transactions for 3 months) and original bank book

- show me the original documents of this and that

10- minute interview 😃
