Hello everyone,

I applied for the DTV visa in Jakarta on May 25, and today marks the 10th day since submission.

So far, I haven’t received any updates—no request for additional documents or communication of any kind.

I would like to ask:

Why might it be taking longer than expected?

How many more days should I expect to wait, approximately?

Has anyone received visa approval in early June already?

Thank you in advance for any information shared.

Do you need to have a ticket out of the country when you're on a DTV and going through customs? I've always had a ticket out of Thailand for one reason or another when coming into the country but the next time I come in I won't need a ticket out for any reason (even though if history is any indication I'll be leaving the country sometime before 180 days is up)..if I do need one I know I can always get a cheap one-way to HAN on TG when I need it.

Hey 👋 Has anyone had a DVT visa and then had a new passport, did it need transfering or could you stamp out on your old passport and then the new stamp coming back would go into the new passport ?

🙏

Hello everyone,

I applied for a tourist e-visa online (Feb 13th)and by 18th of March (over a month), I received a request for additional documents. Since my departure flight to Bangkok is next week, do you think my visa will be approved in time? Has anyone experienced a similar situation, and do you have any advice?

Me and my gf are coming to Thailand in February for 30 days and just noticed the airline didn’t put my middle name on my ticket but here has it. Is this gonna be an issue? I contacted the airline and they said they can’t change it or all my connecting flights will cancel my ticket.

I am going back to Immigration on later this month to get my 1 year extension of stay.

So I am in the "Under Consideration" stage of it all.

But before this I have been requested to be a travel-buddy for someone who has never flown before before I get my stamp.

It would be a 1-2 day thing and I would be back in good time before I am supposed to go to Immigration to get my finalized stamp.

Would this be a problem?
