ORIGINAL POSTER
Swede, work DTV,

Uploaded all docs, inc company registration etc..

Wednesday 19:30 the 14th, pending approval status on the Friday evening before they closed and approved the following Monday at 13:40.

Very basic paperwork, was scared they would ask for more, only uploaded 3 months payslips, not a single question..

Flew into DMK the following day, not a single question, had ALL my docs printed but only gave the immigration lady the DTV e visa approval and she didn’t ask a single question just smiled and stamped me right in.

Good to be back.

TLDR : Answer Summary
A Swede shared his experience applying for a DTV visa and entering Thailand. After submitting basic paperwork such as his company registration and three months of payslips, his application was approved quickly with no additional questions. Upon arrival at DMK, he presented only the DTV e-visa approval and was allowed entry without any issues.

Visa application can be so easy by just doing as asked.

BUT it seems a lot of fun to explain you need to upload hundreds of forms and use special apps.

Immigration at entry does not make a new assesment of your visa application, although some dtv holders do insist they had to do that.
