Mine was pretty similar to yours, I guess nowadays it is regular timing:
19th Jan: applied
21st Jan: additional documents request and upload same day
28th Jan: status changed from “pending document check” to “pending approval”
2nd if Feb: approved.
Additional documents requested: detailed bank statement, all passport pages scanned, my company website link, company’s mission and description of work, my work examples, CV, diploma, government registration confirming who is director of my HK company (not me).

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.

@James *******
print out the email OR the pdf attachment (e-visa) of the email?Do we need to laminate it?

MagentaWallaby8738 no need to laminate it. Others have found it convenient for showing proof of your DTV Visa when Airport check-in and on arrival into Thailand with Thai Immigration Officers.
Enjoy your next 5 years of the DTV Visa 🤗

Congratulations. I’m waiting for them to get back after some requested documents they asked me for. Good to know it only took them around one week for them to approve your extra documents.

Congratulations 🥂 I also got my DTV for freelance working through HCMC, very similar time scale as yourself. Extra documentation required, and a few days after, approved and issued

Congrats!
May I ask what extra documents did they request? And what did you put under intended arrival date into Thailand?

OPThey asked for all of my passport pages with time stamps, my english bank statement (i have a bank account in austria so i sent german first), my CV and some example works and they asked for my business registration again because they didnt see company name on the document. I sent the same business registration like the first time because im a sole proprietor in hungary and i dont have business name my own name is the business name so i sent the same papers with a cover letter explaining what is a sole proprietor in hun. Luckily they understand it, i was a little bit anxious about that.
