Why was I asked to resubmit my VEVO for my DTV application?

Mar 19, 2026
a month ago
Update: My DTV was approved on April 8th!

Thank you so much to everyone in this group for the invaluable advice and support throughout the process. Good luck to everyone still waiting!

P.S. would recommend staying in Australia until you receive a decision.

Hi guys! I submitted my DTV application (soft power Muai Thai) on March 6th in Australia (Canberra) and included my Australian visa as well as my VEVO to indicate I was onshore when I submitted the application. And today they requested me to upload the VEVO again. Does anyone know what this is about?

TLDR : Answer Summary
A user reported their DTV visa application approval after initially submitting it alongside their VEVO documentation while onshore in Australia. They received a request to upload the VEVO again, leading to discussions on the VEVO's purpose and requirements during the visa process. Other community members advised that it's not unusual to be asked to resubmit documents, and emphasized the importance of remaining in Australia until a visa decision is made.

They did ask my VEVO even though I submitted Australian passport . I did submitted the pdf document explaining why I did not have VeVo with my passport copy included in the pdf. I got my visa in 8 business days

Yesterday I reuploaded the VEVO I downloaded on the day I submitted the application, proving that I was onshore when submitting the visa application. I haven't heard from them since then. I had no idea I was not to leave until a decision was made, because in the required documents list on their website, they only asked for proof of address, they didn't say anything about having to stay during the whole process of visa application T_T

Anonymous participant please let us know what happens when you hear anything from the Thai Embassy. We wish you good luck 🤞

AND if you do get the DTV visa... you will have to leave Thailand and reenter Thailand to activate it. It cannot be activated inside Thailand.
