What should I do if my DTV gets approved while I'm already in Thailand?

DTV Visa Thailand Visa Rules Visa Application Process Re-entering Thailand Immigration Advice

Oct 26, 2024

2 years ago

ORIGINAL POSTER

I applied for the DTV at the beginning of the month, but gathering all the required documents took longer than expected. Now that everything has been submitted, I’m concerned that, with my flight coming up soon, I might not hear back until I’m already in Thailand. If my DTV gets approved while I'm in Thailand, what would be the best course of action? Should I leave and re-enter on the DTV, or is there another recommended option? Thanks for your advice!

The user wonders about the best course of action if the visa is approved while they are already in Thailand, specifically whether they should leave the country to re-enter on the new visa or if there are alternative options. Comments suggest that the user should indeed leave and re-enter Thailand to activate the new DTV visa.

Would it not be possible to leave later and re-enter when you need to?
