As eventually all 94 Thai Embassies/Consulates around the world will be using the Thai e-Visa for accepting visa applications and issuing Thai e-Visa's, some of the Frequently Asked Questions are succinctly answered by the Royal Thai Embassy in Jakarta, Indonesia who started with Thai e-Visa today (26 November 2024):

1.) you have to physically be in the country of where the Thai Embassy/Consulate is located to apply for a Thai e-Visa;

2.) you will not be making any appointments to visit any Thai Embassy/Consulate who issue Thai e-Visa;

3.) it's just best to physically print out the PDF of your Thai e-Visa and have it with your passport (yes, many have reported that they just showed the image of the Thai e-Visa PDF on their mobile cell phone, or the Thai e-Visa should be in Thai immigration's database system, etc. etc.): just print out the Thai e-Visa PDF!

4.) if there is an error, typo, incorrect spelling, etc., then the Thai e-Visa application can be rejected and no correction will most likely be done to rectify and No Refund!

5.) Thai e-Visa processing times are longer than previously in-person visa applications issuing Thai visa stickers....that may shorten in the future, but then again, it may not....

Hello everyone, I just got my DTV e-visa through Phnom Penh embassy.

Hereā€™s how I did it & my experience.

I applied on 21st 11am, and got my visa on 29th 5:30pm.

I went through soft power, medical route.

šŸ¤žšŸ¼6 months bank statements from my Bangkok account.

šŸ¤žšŸ¼confirmation letters from two doctors I am visiting and 2 appointment letters from both of them for 4th November 2024. (Both same date)

šŸ¤žšŸ¼one night Phnom Penh hotel proof of stay, and 2 nights from sihanoville.

If you guys are planning to apply from Cambodia, I suggest doing it while you get your holidays. Nothing much to do here in Phnom Penh, so I went to sihanoville for 3 days, Koh rong saloem for 2 days, then back to Phnom Penh.

I find Phnom Penh more expensive than HCMC, even though Iā€™ve heard lots of other people say the other way round. But food is great here. Lots of Chinese food options, Indian and Indonesian.

If you have any questions, please ask away šŸ˜„

Received my DTV today! I applied on the 22nd and collected my passport today. As a self-employed digital nomad, I provided a bank statement showing $150,000 USD, a stock portfolio worth $50,000 USD, my monthly Google AdSense income of around $3,000/ month and payment slips from the past six months. I was called in for an interview on the 25th, but by that time, the visa sticker was already issued.. Thailand Here I Come ā˜ŗšŸ¤£
