Hello everyone, I applied for a Thailand tourist visa from Bangladesh on 29th July through the official Thailand visa website, but my application status still shows ‘Processing’. Has anyone faced a similar delay or knows the usual processing time? Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you!

I am US citizen I will fill out  online form for non-O  tourist visa

The purpose is to get a non-O retirement visa inside Thailand

My question is, do you know how long it will take for this first visa to go through?

I know it depends, but does anyone know a good average timeframe I can expect so i can better plan?

I'm currently in Thailand but back in the UK for 2 weeks in October and wish to apply for a DTV (I'm a UK citizen) - just trying to get my ducks in a row 🦆🦆🦆

Will a monzo statement be OK? Does the money have to be in your regular account or will a savings pot be ok? If I submit my paperwork before hand - will the 2 weeks be sufficient? Also, still undecided on whether to do the soft power or remote work option. I'm doing muay Thai anyway and can get a sponsered letter and can work remotely with a contract if needed- what's a better option for success? Thanks for any support. 🇹🇭🙏

Hey, does anyone know what the better option for me is? I’m traveling to Vietnam and want to apply for the DTV visa from there. I’m self-employed / run a business in Germany, so I think I could qualify for that type of visa.

However, I only have 10 days in Vietnam before I want to return to Thailand. Would it be smarter to go with the Sports Visa since it’s faster? Also, what’s the cheapest option that actually works?

Thanks a lot!

Approved in Ho Chi Minh City.

Soft power DTV visa application took 8 business days (total 10 days). There was one public holiday in between. I’m a Myanmar citizen. Used service from Issa Compass agent (they’re great!). Now they’ll submit one for my spouse too.

Submitted on 4th Aug.

Embassy requested further documents on 6th Aug.

Approved on 14th Aug.

have two questions regarding the DTV visa process:

1. I paid the visa fee on July 9 and submitted all documents on July 17, but the status is still "under review." I’ve seen people say it can take anywhere from 2 days to over a month depending on the embassy, but does anyone know the official processing time?

2. Regarding the 500,000 THB financial requirement: In the official checklist, it says the funds must be inibank account for 3 months. However, about two months ago, I emailed the embassy and asked if I could use money from a Thai money market fund (mutual fund), and they replied that it’s fine to sell the fund at the time of application, as long as the money is under my name. Now I'm reading completely different things, and I’m confused.

I’m honestly quite stressed about this process and really hope I won’t get rejected.

If I do get denied, can I apply again at a different embassy (like in Vietnam), or will it already be flagged in the system?ץ

Thanks In advance 🙏🙏
