Yesterday i applied for the DTV.  I thought it would take 10 workdays for it to be either approved or denied ( the Netherlands)

Now i read different stories that it takes more days. My flight is on the 5th of June.

Im thinking of changing my flight to a later date. 

What would you suggest i should do?

If for whatever reason it gets denied and you don’t know why, yourvisa(.)nl can help you. I used their service as well, it’s a dutch company that helps people with visa’s in general.

OP can always enter on tourist exemption and then do a border run when DTV is approved.

I rather not. I was there on a ED Visa. I canceled this visa because i went on a trip to japan and shortly after i came to holland to apply for the DTV. So when i came back from japan to bangkok immigration took me separate and told me i can't come on a tourist entry anymore and i should get an DTV. Not sure if this is true but rather not go there now on a regular tourist entry 😕
