What was your experience with getting a DTV visa in Thailand?
DTV granted in Jakarta.
I arrived on May 8th, submitted the request the same night. Soft power, cooking school.
Unaware of the long weekend (9th, 10th, 11th, 12th, 13th!!!), used the time to visit every museum and park in the city.
Friday 16th came a request from the Consulate to update information about the cooking school (Company registration, school license); the school sent me the info immediately, I uploaded it the same Friday. So far, only 3 working days.
Today, Sunday, I got the email with my approved DTV visa for 5 years. Feeling happy :)

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.
