I'm planning on going to da nang to apply for DTV. I plan to go 26th January. With the festival/public holiday this week I assume my application will take more than a week?

Has anybody just arrived in Thailand or going in the next 3/4 weeks and has an ETA update regarding if/when it's gonna be introduced ?

So now the question is..upon getting the dtv while in Thailand how soon do I need to fly out to activate it?

Has anyone applied for DTV in Manila? Please share your experience

Not sure if this information is relevant, but I thought maybe someone might find it helpful:

DTV Approved

15 days total, including 2 weekends and a US holiday

They asked for my bank statements twice, but that was the only hold up

Washington embassy (from Texas)

Bangkok Thai Cooking school 2-week program provided the letter I needed with a $500 deposit.

Has anyone successfully gotten their DTV approved after canceling the non-ED visa? I am 2 months into my non-ED, and DTV was not yet issued back then. I have been working remotely for a UK firm while living in Bangkok. How do you transition from non-ED to DTV?

UPDATE: *After 50 days I have been approved for the DTV Visa. I have contacted them by email (consuladotailandia @ gmail . com) asking if they need any more documents because it has been more than 1 month, and the only answer was asking me when I was going to Thailand. From there I guess they schedule the approvals so as not to have the months lost if the trip is not close yet. Another user told me that the approval was scheduled, and apparently it was also my case because I received the visa at 12:06AM. Besides, the Thai embassy in Madrid in August was also on holiday. *

Hi! I would like to ask the group if anyone has had the same experience.

I am applying online for the DTV in Spain (Thai Embassy Madrid). I started the enquiry on 25.07.24... had to upload some extra documents on 1.08.24 (bank statements, proof of salary and flight ticket).

This was checked on the same day and since then the status has been pending approval.

I often see here that most people get their visa after a few days. Is it sometimes normal that it takes so long?

My flight to Thailand is at the beginning of October but I will be in Malasia before then.

What should I do? Wait a little bit longer or get in touch with the consulate asap?

TIA

I've just been approved for DTV in France, which took 1 month! My situation: freelance digital marketer.

First of all, I filled in the application form on thaievisa (flight, hotel, proof of residence and bank statement for the month of June). Then after 3 weeks they contacted me again and asked me to create a portfolio, all merged with Avis d'Insée (proof of auto-entrepreneur status in France), a text portfolio (1 Word page) explaining the nature of my work in French AND English, my last invoices for the last month, last month's bank statement, and also a screen copy of the platform on which I'm registered to interact with clients and see my activities/profile).

So I provided these documents (about ten pages merged into a single pdf document) and voilà, there was a 'pending approval' status that lasted 2 days and I was approved.

Booking flight to Bangkok now...

Can anyone advise if the ETA is up and running yet.

* Hi all, curious if anyone has experience transitioning to the DTV while in Thailand? Or is it a hard requirement that this must be in an embassy/consulate outside of Thailand?

A follow up, would the embassy accept 401/Roth for the income statement?
