What should I do if my Thai visa application is still processing and my flight is approaching?

@Yvonnae *********

it doesn't matter where you are working. Thailand treats online visa applications in exactly the same way they did when you had to attend in person and hand over your passport and application. It's just that now you hand them over electronically

Reality is that you are to stay in the country where you applied for the DTV visa until the decision is known.. period 🩸

- You don’t care about the Netherlands, but I posted it to refute your statement that “forbidding travel within the EU would be the most ridiculous restriction”. The Netherlands is part of the EU and they clearly articulate it. I believe what you state as being not a rule because it isn’t posted is not accurate and it is more accurate that some embassies give more details on their rules than others. For example, Athens painstakingly lists out issues around middle names and how errors can cause you to get your application canceled. Those rules exist across the embassies, but Athens just happens to be more detailed. The Netherlands says they have the “authority”, to only support those in their jurisdiction. That is more than a mere requirement, but an authority given to them my MoFA. You think MoFA gives different authority to different embassies? So if you applied in Austria and then traveled to the Netherlands, Austria now has the authority to grant you a visa over the Netherlands who clearly states it’s their authority? Something doesn’t add up. Some sites clearly articulate you must stay put, others have vague language like Finland. None say you can travel. But you decide to believe you can travel, despite no one anywhere saying you can.

Each embassy has own rules

I dont care about Netherlands, I said that in Finland and Austria they didn't post such requirement on their website.

@Georgijus ***********

Netherlands is in the EU, right? So you think the rules differ?

DTV_BegPecker Neither the Thai Embassy website in Finland or in Austria states that applicants must remain in the country while waiting for the results. There is no such requirement mentioned anywhere. Moreover, forbidding travel within the EU would be a most ridiculious restriction.

@Mark ********

- which embassy? Can you show what they wrote you? Furthermore, OP said she submitted a month ago, but her posts show she was traveling through the Scandinavian countries up until a few weeks ago, then went to Austria, so it is possible she wasn’t there when she applied and isn’t there now

@Elías *******

How strange mine said is fine but if you are called in for interview you must make it back on time

@Yvonnae *********

you come ashore, go to the country you wish to apply through and remain there until the process completes
