Hello everyone,

I would appreciate some assistance, please. I submitted a Thai e-Visa application through the Royal Thai Embassy in Abuja on 13 January, and the status has remained “In progress – pending approval.”

My travel date is scheduled for 22 February, and I am becoming concerned about the delay. Has anyone experienced a similar situation or can advise on the best way to follow up with the Embassy?

Thank you in advance for your help.

I'm a nigerian in the US with a green card. I haven't lived in Nigeria for like 17 years but I have a nigerian passport. When I try to apply for the thai tourist visa it says I need nigeria police clearance, which I can't get cause I dont live there. Tried emailing and calling the the thai embassy no one picked or answer. As anyone ever gone through this. I was thinking of submitting a US police clearance

Hi everyone,

I’d like to get some feedback regarding visa-exempt entry to Thailand, as I know immigration has become stricter recently and decisions can be at the discretion of the officer.

I’m planning to enter Thailand on January 14, 2026, by air, coming directly from my home country.

Here is my previous entry history (all by air):

- Nov 15, 2024 → Jan 13, 2025 (visa exempt)

- Apr 29, 2025 → Jun 27, 2025 (visa exempt)

- Sep 24, 2025 → Dec 22, 2025 (visa exempt + 30-day extension)

Additional info:

- I have never overstayed

- I have never done any border runs

- I always enter Thailand by air, not by land

Given this history, do you think entering again on a visa-exempt in January 2026 should be okay, or could this raise concerns with immigration?

Thanks a lot for your insights 🙏

Anyone having / had problems with visa approval in Taiwan after an interview? My partner had to attend an interview yesterday and the website hasn't been updated, we phoned and they said the supervisor is still making a decision. We have a flight on Saturday but only a few hours to rebook it.

Hi first of all thank you guys so much for all the guidance, advice and help...this group is amazing.

Now to my confusing situation.

I applied for a dependent DTV Visa in Frankfurt, Germany early October, on the 6th of October they asked for more documents which I sent, then on the 14.10 I received the good news that my visa is approved!!! It was amazing and we bought our flight tickets the same day.

3 days later my status all the sudden changed from approved to request interview. Then I received an email on the 16.10 for an interview on the 20.10 at 10 am.

I went there yesterday, they were very friendly and kind, i greeted them in Thai, they laughed and were impressed with my pronunciation xD they asked me a lot of questions and I was quite nervous....

I brought up the situation with the approved visa and they told me, it's a glitch and if they grant me a visa, I will get a new one.

My status has not changed since the 16.10, also not after my interview, which is a bit concerning for me :(

Our flight is in 8 days.

My husband DTV Gott approved in less than a week.

Am I being paranoid? Should I reapply for a DTV or at least a tourist visa so I can fly to Bangkok on the 29....?

Our flights are non refundable, we also have a dog :( I'm so frustrated, worried and confused :(

In September I applied to the Embassy in London for a 6 month Multi entry Tourist e-Visa sending all the necessary documentation which included as specifically asked for my date of departure and return using Emirates. My flights were leaving the UK on 26th October and returning on the 7th April next year.

I received the e-Visa quite quickly but I noticed that the dates were different to what I applied for, namely valid from 10th Setember until 8th March 2026.

I immediately sent an e-mail to the Embassy asking if I was OK until my return flight on 7th April but got no response so I send another with the same result.

I then send a long hand letter with all the attachments but yet again I have received no response.

I have some important engagements late March next year and I'm getting really concerned about my travel arrangements. Am I worrying needlessly and will this e-Visa cover me for my planned stay. Some advice would be appreciated.

Thank you

DTV Application Status – Need Advice

Hi everyone,

I applied for my DTV at the Thai Embassy in Frankfurt on September 7.

• Sept 9: Application showed as pending approval.

• Sept 15: They asked me to submit additional documents (digital portfolio).

• Since then, the status is back to pending approval.

Here’s my concern: I already booked my flight back to Thailand for October 1 and I’m worried the approval won’t come through before departure.

👉 Has anyone here experienced something similar?

👉 Any advice what I should do? Will calling the embassy help, or is it just a matter of waiting?

Thanks a lot in advance! 🙏

I have applied for Softpower DTV. Nothing happens since 06.08. I have a flight to Thailand on the 13th because I have to go to the clinic. I'm worried that it won't work anymore. Can I enter the country if it is still outstanding? My husband and daughter also need the DTV. Any ideas?
