What is the processing time for Thai visa applications in Nepal?
I applied in Nepal embassy monday 17th.. application status went to “processing, pending approval” same day..
it is now 20th Thursday.
I have my fingers crossed- I see for some people it’s taken a few days and for others it’s been a few weeks..
Soft power application - I hope it all goes well 😮💨

I visited Kathmandu recently and was told that VFS were the people processing the visas. I went to their offices in Thamel but they were closed but they had a whole floor of this new mall dedicated to visas for Thailand. Did you deal with them at all ?

How did you manage that. I contacted them and they told me to go to VFS.
I love Kathmandu and i really wanted to do the DTV there but I dislike this company. Did you actually visit the embassy there ?

Nepal takes around 10 business days. It is not as fast as other embassies. You have not received any request for new documents so that's a good sign. Hopefully you get approved soon. 🤞

I just got invited for an interview - thats a good sign right? What might they ask? I have to travel a long way to go to interview but I’m happy to 🥹Andi ***********
MotivatedParrot6489 It Is a great sign 👍.They will ask basic questions on your job, reasons for going to Thailand etc. Be prepared to show your bank balance 50OK on your phone .

MotivatedParrot6489 one year is a good course length to have.

I can take good care of my health in Thailand with massages and I have been going for years I feel familiar with culture and food and I feel peaceful there - also my course is a one year course not a 6 month one so that should be good right?Andi ***********
MotivatedParrot6489 Explain your likeness of Thailand and the reason for doing the course. Focus on continuing the course long term so they see reason to give you the 5-year DTV and not the shorter 6 mth METV.

I can definitely show bank balances - for job I wrote investments and the name of bank I invest with which I can also show - and reason for Thailand I wouldn’t know what to say other than it’s my favorite country and I feel peaceful there and the dtv course is a cool course ?Is that good enough you think?
