Approved! Finally! Dubai Embassy in just 6 working days !

British passport but UAE resident . Originally was messed around by London embassy asking for more and more things . Like attested documents which was impossible to get during a war . Scrapped that application and entered Thailand on tourist visa . Came to Dubai when it quiet down a bit and finally approved in just 6 days . Very straight forward process , couple of extra things they asked for but over the moon to live in Thailand hassle free .

If anyone wants any help regarding UAE or similar situation I’m happy to help .

Thank You for your helpful report πŸ‘

Congratulations πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

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.
