I received an email from the Jakarta Thai Embassy that due to unforeseen technical issues the launch of the Evisa system has been delayed. They cannot confirm when the launch date will take place at the moment and to check updates from their facebook page/website.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The Jakarta Thai Embassy has announced a delay in the launch of the Evisa system due to unforeseen technical issues. They are currently unable to provide a specific new launch date and recommend checking their Facebook page or website for updates. Commenters note the implications of the delay, suggesting that individuals should apply for the DTV visa in-person sooner rather than later to avoid complications with the new eVisa system, which may involve lengthy processing times and potential fees for rejected applications.

Great news for people people in the area wanting to get a DTV from them (y)

Believe me that eVisa system is gonna run most people off the rails.

You'll have to GO to the country of the consulate you're applying for the DTV at, you will upload all your documents, proof you're IN that country (visa/entry stamp, hotel booking) PAY then wait until the eVisa is processed and approved before you can print it out and come back

AND

If you're rejected you lose the application fee.

Some consulates are already saying they're going to have 2-4 week processing once they switch over

I suggest ANYONE in the immediate vicinity to GO now and get your DTV at a consulate with an in person visit. Don't be a day counter and think "Oh I have xxx days on my current stamp I don't want to lose them" because you might screw yourself out of an easy DTV

 The delay is probably only for a few weeks...I suspect they'll be on the e-visa system by end of October or November.

 All major IT projects in the UK seem to have major issues too. Bent Flyvbjerg at Oxford Uni has a megaprojects database which covers all of these project failures. The record of successful project delivery is abysmal. I was a Global Portfolio Director at a global company. Seen it and been part of it :-)
