✨ DTV Dependent Visa Approved! ✨

Sharing my timeline in case it helps anyone currently waiting:

 • Submitted: May 22

 • Document Request (photo): May 30

 • Status changed to “Pending Approval”: June 4

 • Approved: June 11 ✅

 • Applied at: Los Angeles Thai Consulate

📌 Side Note: I had been checking the portal daily with no change, but on June 11 I decided to send a polite email asking for a status update—and it was approved later that same day. Not saying it’s guaranteed, but it definitely felt like it helped move things along.

If you’re waiting and it’s been a while, a gentle follow-up email might be worth a shot.

Wishing smooth approvals to everyone still in the queue! 🙏🏽💻✈️

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.

Congratulations! Do print out your supporting documents especially your e-visa when coming into Thailand. Do also mentally prepare the small chance that they ask some questions about your intention in Thailand and how you will support yourself.

It doesn't happen often but it's good to be prepared if it comes to that. Overall your answers should match your intention of being here.
