Will entering Thailand be an issue if my DTV application is still pending?
Hi, my DTV application has been pending for about two weeks and I need to fly next Monday.
I just wanted to check if entering Thailand before the DTV is approved would affect my application. If I travel in first, would I still be able to return to Singapore and re-enter Thailand again once the DTV is approved?
Applying from Singapore embassy.
Thanks in advance for your advice.
27 9am : Just got result today. Rejected. Can go 🇹🇭 without regrets 😁.

You need to change your travel arrangements and remain in Singapore until the visa application process completes.

Never buy flighttickets you cannot change for free when you apply for a visa.
This is a general rule worldwide, Thailand is no exception on this.

You can still be asked for an interview or to send details of your current location. There is also a risk of your DTV being rescinded upon approval as others have find out. Some get away with entering Thailand before approval but it's not worth the risk.

Can get your application cancelled.

You cannot leave the country of application before result, or you’re asking for trouble.
