ORIGINAL POSTERWhich countries still allow walk-in applications for the DTV visa in 2025? Asking for someone since I already have mine!
TLDR : Answer Summary
As of 2025, no countries will allow walk-in applications for the DTV visa. All Thai consulates and embassies are transitioning to an eVisa system, with implementation starting January 1, 2025. This change means that applicants will need to apply online rather than in person.
DTV VISA RESOURCES / SERVICES
- Take the basic DTV Qualification Test to see if you're eligible for the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV).
- For immediate assistance, contact Thai Visa Centre directly via LINE at @ThaiVisaCentre or Email them.

- Join the Thai Visa Advice Facebook Group to ask your questions, and get advice from others.

You can answer questions quicker face to face is the big advantage as they ask so many. It will be a much longer process in Taipei online, i think.Reply to

After Jan 1, 2025 I don't think ANY consulate/embassy will have walk up service
They announced that 94 thai consulates/embassies will be on the eVisa system when the rest of them switch over on the 1st of Jan..

Yeah 6 mths statements but i was prepared for that. The staff was confused why I had more than one bank account and incomes going into different banks. Also, probs with company registration, I had one but not for another company, but I emailed them in advance and told them so, they said it was ok via email. Applied in morning, called back for interview in afternoon. Will go back Monday.. Soft power is just as bad for some applicants there today, they need work contracts to get approved from Taipei.Reply to

@Wannikea ********
I think Taipei is from the 1st, no?Andi ***********
@Cameron ********
Yes, but 28-31 holidays/prep for online launch.Tod *********
@Cameron ********
why would Taiwan be closed for christmas? They are open
The last day you can turn in a walk in application is Friday the 27th for ANY visa
Andi ***********
@Cameron ********
Only Dec 31 is a holiday. Open other week days. A lot of Asian countries do not celebrate Xmas so open as usual. They have stated Dec 27 as the last walk in date.Cameron *********
@Andi **********
Thanks Andi. Can I just check something quickly re Taipei walkins. Do we need to come *with* a completed application form? Or do we do this there? I had assumed we do it there. But just seen something on Google that reads to me as though they went *with* a completed application form and handed that in along with their bank statements etc.Andi ***********
@Cameron ********
I have completed the application form to save time.Someone said there is space to complete the form thereCameron *********
@Andi **********
Where do we get the forms from to fill out beforehand? Cannot seen to find a DTV one on the Taipei website and the Thai website seems to be E-visa only?Andi ***********
@Cameron ********
It is the general visa form on the site. It has Manilla stamped on it. You tick the box other in various visa options and write DTVCameron *********
@Andi **********
Ahh thank you. That was the one I saw but was confused about no mention of DTV.Tod *********
@Cameron ********
That's because Taipei isn't a consulate it's the TTEC office and they are UNDER the manila embassy so they use their formAndi ***********
@Cameron ********
Few others also confused by it.Wannikea *********
@Cameron ********
if only Taipei embassy had a website with such information, oh wait....Cameron *********
@Andi **********
Oh! So effectively what is the last day for walks ins then for Taipei? I assume closed for 24th, 25 and 26th? Then reopen for 1 day 27th and close again?Reply to
