DTV APPROVED in Munich, Germany

Workcation - IT Admin 

Applied: Jan 13, 2026

Further Documents requested: Feb 2, 2026

Approved: Feb 4, 2026

Didn’t use an agent to apply for the visa.

I actually just sent them what they were asking for, not more not less. The only document they wanted on the 2. Feb was a portfolio of my work and that’s it. 

Still wanted to say thank you to everyone here who’s helping out every day 🤗 Khop khun krap

Thank You for your helpful report 👍

Congratulations 👏👏👏

PRINT OUT THE EMAIL THAT HAS YOUR DTV VISA.

That's what you should do... print it out.

You may have to show PROOF of your DTV Visa to airline staff on check-in for your flight ✈️ to Thailand...even to the connecting airline staff. Or to the land border crossing entry Thai Immigration Officer.

Upon arrival into Thailand, show the DTV visa to the Thai Immigration Officer and look at the STAMP placed in your passport to be sure you are STAMPED in for 180 days.

Just leave Thailand... and when you reenter Thailand you will be stamped in for 180 days. The DTV visa is a multiple entry tourist visa for 5 years.
