What is the process and tips for obtaining a DTV visa in Thailand from Vientiane?

hello

I received my DTV visa in November. I received my visa approval in Vientiane, Laos, in November through the Discover Thai Nature seminar program. The visa process was very quick.

I received an interview request five days after applying on the embassy website, and the visa approval email arrived three hours after my interview.

 The Discover Thai Nature seminar

They gave me a lot of great advice.

 And here are some tips: The interview in Vientiane, Laos, is very simple.

Why did you apply for this seminar? Why did you apply for the DTV visa? A How do you plan to cover your living expenses? 

Most of the questions were basic. 

One tip: When you first meet your interviewer, smile and greet them with a Thai bow. Your interviewer is a person with a Thai background, and this small gesture shows respect for their culture and will make a good impression early on in the interview.

 They'll definitely love it.  

For the remaining questions, I recommend practicing answering the questions already posted here on the DTV group and in Chatgpt. I'm grateful to the DTV community for sharing their experiences during my visa preparation. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have.

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.
