I'm thinking about applying for ED-VISA via E-Visa website by choosing the Thai Embassy in Penang Malaysia. Does anybody applied from there? Is it quick service or take too long?

Application fees: Online DTV application VS in Person at Consulate/Embassy

I am seeking clarification on the application process for the DTV visa. Specifically, I would like to inquire whether submitting my application in person at the consulate would be a more secure option compared to applying online.

My concern stems from the non-refundable visa application fee of 10,000 THB. I recently came across a video featuring an influencer who claimed that they were only required to pay the application fee after their application had been approved.

In contrast, I understand that online applications require payment of the visa application fee at the time of document submission. Could you please confirm whether my understanding of this process is accurate?

Thank you for your assistance in

I'm a bit confused. I received an email from my school stating that I need to apply for the ED Visa at the embassy. I thought that starting in 2025 everything would be online and that there wouldn't be any embassy requirements especially since there's no Thai embassy in my home country Tunisia. Can anyone assist me with this? I've already booked my flight and wasn't aware that I needed to go to the embassy.😔

Maybe I've been reading things incorrectly, but it seems like on the evisa retirement non O, it was said you get 2 months on arrival, then can extend for 30 days, and then can extend for 1 year by getting the bank account etcetera.

We just arrived today with our non o retirement visa and both I and my mom were given 90 days right away

"HOW TO" Advice needed! Had a single-entey Non-O E-visa, but had to leave TH for 3 days emergency trip before I had a chance to convert into a normal (non e-)visa and was then told that my E-visa has expired when I left Thailand and I have to leave the country again to re-apply!

Anyone can advise if this can be sorted/converted without leaving Thailand? Happy to pay an agent as long it's legit!

I'm having trouble downloading the e-visa ,the bit where it says to upload the bio data page from my passport but there's no box or link for it can you please help me thanks 🙏

Flying into Thailand is the email of visa sufficient or so you need to print it out? Did a search here but couldn’t find a definite answer.

Approved DTV from Laos with new eVisa system !

Here is the timeline of the process.

January 6. Arrived in Vientiane, applied online

I used following documents

1. Photo of my Laos visa and entry stamp

2. Bank transactions history and balance, stamped from bank

3. Contracts with my clients

4. Printed profile in Toptal (can be any other marketplace for freelancers)

January 7. 10 am Made a trip to Consular section of Embassy, to pay 10 thousand baht fee. Three more applicant were waiting before me.

Note that it's located different address from the Embassy of Thailand.

Also please print payment QR from website, otherwise near embassy they charge 40 baht per page, while anywhere else in Laos it can cost as much as 1.5 baht per page.

January 7. Near 5 pm I got email with invitation to have interview on January 13.

January 13. I arrived for interview 10 am, one applicant was ahead of me. Interview took 5 minutes, I was asked about what exactly is my Job, is it full time or freelance, then I was asked to open my mobile banking of the bank I submitted document, and they verified transactions

January 13. 1 pm I received email with my DTV visa

January 14. I am in Thailand !

Technically, if we ignore the interview wait days, it took 1 working day to get the visa.

I stayed in Vientiane, can not recommend my hotel, but there are a lot of them!

Enjoy your trip!

During the e-visa application process, if they ask for additional documentation, is there a size limit to additional documents as well? I'm trying to consolidate statements that may be required. Just wondering if there is a limit.

I want to apply for the DTV in Jakarta and just arrived today, but entered the country using the passport autogates. This means I have no entry stamp in my passport to prove my location. Has anyone else done the same thing and how did you prove your location?
