The user is applying for a dependent DTV visa for their wife and inquires whether she will require an interview. Responses indicate mixed experiences; while one comment suggests that interviews may not be necessary as their spouse did not have to attend one and received approval within 2 days, another warns that an interview could still be a possibility for dependent applications.

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.

She will be appointed for interview again at another 14 days? Our visas are expiring soon. So it means it will take around one month to complete them?

Anonymous participant dependents are often approved quicker than the main applicant. When you get an interview, you can request an earlier date as others have done
