What is the process and timeline for obtaining a Muay Thai DTV visa in Indonesia for myself and my dependent?

Question

JAKARTA DTV Success Softpower Muay Thai.
This is for myself and my son.

Main applicant:
May 18th - arrived in Jakarta, submitted mine
                    about 9pm. Status maintained at 
                    pending document check the whole 
                    time.
May 27th - status changed to pending approval
                    around 5pm, then APPROVED and 
                    visa received an hour later!

My dependent:
May 27th - applied as soon as I got mine
                    approved. Submitted 8pm. Again,
                    stayed at pending document check
                    all through.
June 9th - status changed to pending approval
                   around 5pm, and APPROVED by 8pm!

Just in time for our flights the next day 😍
There were 2 holidays during my dependent’s submission. All in all, they are consistent in their timeframe of 7 working days for both our applications.

Documents provided:

Proof of location
-Boarding pass
-Flight booking
-Hotel booking for initial 5 days
-Stay permit from the autogates
-a selfie of myself in front of our hotel

Financial proof
- a cover letter explaining very briefly what I provided
- latest conversion rates from google, bangkok bank and wise 
- highlighted screenshot of current balance and amount of 500k for the past 2 months. I provided 3 months of full bank statements

Muay Thai documents
- a cover letter stating my intention to apply via the softpower route
- a complete visa documentation package from Muay Thai Fever. It is a 6-month course.

For my son (dependent), I used the exact same financial documents with a sponsorship letter from me, his proof of location and his birth certificate translated to English.

I did call up the embassy a couple of times to check on our applications as the status remained unchanged. They were very friendly and assured me I will get updates soonest they can. They process everything by the date of submission.

HUGE thanks to everyone in this group especially Andi Traveller 🙏🏼 
The waiting is hard, so we’re all very fortunate to have this group to keep us in the loop and entertained too! Good luck everyone!!

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.
