TLDR : Answer Summary
A couple shares their successful experience obtaining a Digital Nomad DTV visa in Vientiane, Laos, detailing their timeline from application submission to approval. The process included submitting required documents, undergoing a brief interview, and receiving their visa within four days. They also highlighted the importance of keeping the DTV visa approval email handy for travel to Thailand.
You may have to show PROOF of your DTV Visa to airline staff on check-in for your flight βοΈ 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.
