I submitted my application on October 7th at 23:43, and my visa was approved on October 9th at 15:51 - that’s just around 40 hours in total!

I applied through the Royal Thai Embassy in Warsaw, and the whole process was very smooth.

If anyone has any questions about the application steps or required documents, feel free to reach out - I’m happy to help! 🇹🇭✨

Hey everyone! I’d like to share my DTV approval process here:

• Embassy: Los Angeles, California

• Category: Soft Power - Discover Thai Nature Seminar

• Date Applied: September 16, 2025

• Documents Provided:

- Passport

- Updated Passport Pic

- Discover Thai Nature Certificate

- 6 mos Savings Statements of 15K Baht

- Lease Agreement**

• Request for Further Document - received September 17, 2025

- “Document indicating current location: Please upload your ID card or utility bill as proof of residency that you’re in our jurisdiction”

• **Document Provided:

- I wrote a letter of explanation due to my lease agreement being a month to month plan (no contract), and I don’t have to pay any additional bills here as I’m only renting a room. I also don’t have my mail or any other important documents at this address, only my PO Box which is listed on my drivers license. In the letter I offered to take a picture of myself on the property, but that wasn’t needed!

• September 18, 2025: APPROVED

This was a very quick and easy process for me, and I’m excited for the seminar! Please let me know if you have any questions!

Hi everyone!

I have a company based in Hong Kong, and I’m planning to apply for the DTV visa. Should I apply using my business documents, or through the Muay Thai school with Compass? Do both options have the same chance of approval?

Thanks for your help!

Got my DTV approved from London today. Just in time as I fly on Thursday! It took approx 7 working days from uploading my documents. Happy to give any info on what I did to help anyone with the process.

Let me know if you have any questions.

It's my turn to say that my DTV has been approved. I applied as a digital worker applicant and I applied at the Lisbon Embassy. Eighteen days for approval but I pushed the situation because everything happens slowly in Portugal, even if it's not Portuguese. 😌 Here's the details:

Sept 17 6pm applied

Sept 29 9pm I emailed asking for status update

Sept 29 12am embassy emailed for a longer job description

Sept 30 2am emailed supporting documents

Oct 4 9:30 am I emailed to confirm they got my documents

Oct 5th 4:30pm email with approved visa

I have been on an expired PT residency visa for almost a year and after waiting more than a year for a renewal appt. I attended that appt and was told it would be another 6 months for an answer if approved and my card. That is a 1.5 year wait for a 3 yr residency card and in 17-18 days I got a 5 yr Thai visa! For all those people in the EU that says you have to be patient with EU bureaucratic systems take a look at efficiency of other countries immigration. The info I needed for my PT renewal appt was the EXACT same documents I needed for the DTV as well. I'm super excited!

Update: DTV approved after interview in Karachi embassy.

The ambassador was very nice, friendly, and shared some pro tips as well. When I entered, he mentioned that the ministry has asked me to check your contracts (I work on Upwork as a full time freelancer). After I showed him my profile live with a few contracts, he stopped me and said, "that's enough, I'm satisfied." I asked him a few questions regarding the visa and then left the embassy.

In 90 mins, I got my visa on email. Alhamd o Lillah

Hi guys update post on my experience applying from Jakarta

I went through Issa the application you can use on your phone. They’re based in thong lor, Bangkok. They were recommended to me by a friend who got her medical dtv

I arrived in Jakarta on the 14th. My application was submitted by them on 15 September on Tuesday the 23rd. I got a request asking for photos or proof of my interest in Muay Thai. I submitted photos of me at the Muay Thai Stadium in Bangkok, as well as my ticket stub I also sent photos of inside the gym. None included me in the photos and finally a photo of me punching the boxing bag at my gym.

I received the approval from Issa via email today at around 2:30 PM. I used a popular gym that I saw advertised tier based in Chang Mai. All of the documents were perfect and I didn’t need anything else.
