**Applied for DTV - Workcation in Pakistan – Pending Documents Check
**
I applied for the DTV in Pakistan on 7th January. Here's the timeline of events:
1. 8th January: I received a request to submit my CNIC, hotel booking, and flight ticket. I promptly provided all the required documents.
2. 10th January: I was asked to submit a clear passport picture, a return ticket (yes, they requested a return ticket), and my hotel booking again. I explained that I don’t have a hotel booking because I’ve rented a property in Krabi with a lease valid until the end of June 2025.
My flights are landing and departing from Bangkok, which might have caused some confusion. If needed, I also have a flight ticket from Bangkok to Krabi that I can provide.
Since 10th January, my application status has remained on "Pending Documents Check."
I finally managed to reach the Thai Embassy after numerous attempts. I explained my situation and emphasized that my flight date is approaching. Unfortunately, the response was that the embassy has no control over the process and that I will receive an update once the headquarters (Bangkok Consular Department) approves my application. I requested if they could follow up with the headquarters, but the call was abruptly disconnected.
For context:
* When I initially applied for the DTV, the embassy staff suggested applying for a TR visa instead, as it reportedly has a higher chance of approval. However, as a Pakistani passport holder, a TR visa would allow only a 60-day stay with no extension under normal circumstances. Additionally, I wouldn’t be able to apply for a DTV from another country due to passport restrictions.
At this point, all I can do is wait and hope for the best.
Has anyone faced a similar situation? Any advice or insights would be greatly appreciated.
TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is facing delays in their DTV (Digital Nomad) visa application for Thailand, which they submitted on January 7th in Pakistan. After multiple requests from the embassy for additional documents, the user has provided everything except a hotel booking, as they have a lease in Krabi. The application status remains on "Pending Documents Check," and despite attempts to follow up with the embassy, they have been told that only the Bangkok Consular Department can approve the application. The user is seeking advice from others who may have faced similar situations.
