What you guys think, how long can the approval take? Normaly should be these days rigrh?

I applied for dtv in Hanoi on the 22nd Dec, still no answers, shall I send an email to follow-up? Thanks

Hola everyone. This group helped me so much with their very helpful informations. I wanna thank for it.

My question is:

I applied DTV with my visa agency in Phnom Penh.

I'm Turkish citizen and it's been 55 days.

I only have request and reference number from screenshot that agency sent me. (thaievisa.go.th)

Is there anything I should do that maybe speeds up the process?

This thing chasing me on night for weeks.

Thank you all...

Did anyone apply for a Muay Thai EFC - DTV in Ho Chi Minh City Vietnam and can tell me how long it took for a response? I applied Sep, Monday 15th. Still here

Hey guys, my partner will be applying for the DTV (workation) this winter at the embassy in Madrid, Spain (he’s Spanish).

We are currently already in Thailand, but will fly to Spain for the holidays and stay for a month. Given that a lot of people report slow processing time at the embassy in Madrid, I’m not sure whether applying on the 19th of December (the day we arrive) will be sufficient time. We fly back to Thailand on January 21st… it’s just over a month but of course there’s the holidays in between.

Does anyone have any experience with filing their application while still in another country? In other words: could my partner send in his application before December 19th or will they check whether he was actually in Spain on that day?

Thanks in advance for your help!

For people who applied in Jakarta how many total days did you end up having to stay?

🚨UPDATE: APPROVED MAY 2nd 2025 - Thai Cooking Soft Power - Los Angeles Thai Consulate

Original Post:

LOS ANGELES THAI CONSULATE:

Applied March 6th. Submitted further documents March 25th. Have not heard back since. It is now April 14th 2025

I applied for the DTV Soft Power on May 6th with all required documents and triple checked all information was submitted correctly word for word.

13 days later (March 25th) I get an email asking to submit a bank statement requiring a MINIMUM of $17,000 USD, with my name clearly printed and it cannot be an investent profile. My name was CLEARLY PRINTED on my bank statement, it is a statement from a SAVINGS/ CHECKING ACCOUNT with my BANK which also has the banks name and address cleary printed on it. I submitted the statement with $15,300 USD AS THE E-VISA WEBSITE and every other resource available online stated the requirement was a minimim of $15,000. I could have submitted the statement with $17,000+ the first time if thats what made clear anywhere but it wasnt.

I resubmitted a new bank statement with $17,500 1 day of recieving that further documents requested email (March 27) and ever since status has been in "Processing Document Check (1) ". I underatand as of now it Songkran in Thailand, but that document was sumbitted way prior to the holiday.

I also submitted the documents for my finacé's DTV SoftPower on April 4th 2025 with all the same required documents except I made sure her bank statement has well over $17,000 USD. We applidd to the same consulate as me. Her status has been "Pending Payment" ever since. Its been 6 business days and no status change.

I'll continue my patience but wrote this out slight confusion & frustration.

WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THE THAI CONSULATE LOS ANGELES

Any Irish people on here who applied from Ireland 🇮🇪?

Did you have to go to the Embassy in London?

Can everyone who received their DTV add in the comments in which country did you do it and how long it took? Thanks a lot 😊

I did my first online 90 report yesterday, and I've noticed it still states that it is pending when I look at my visa status. Is this normal, and how long does it usually take to get approved?
