Hi everyone! 🙂

I'm currently in Thailand but planning to apply for the new DTV visa. I'm thinking of leaving the country for a few weeks to apply from somewhere else.

I have a couple of questions and would really appreciate your help:

1. Which country or embassy is the fastest and easiest for processing the DTV visa? I was considering Kuala Lumpur, but I’ve read mixed reviews. If you've done it there (or elsewhere), could you share your experience and how long it took?

2. Is it possible to complete the whole process online, or do I need to go to the embassy in person? Or does it vary by location or specific officer?

Thanks a lot in advance for any tips or info! 🙏🙂

Hi guys, my application just got canceled. I submitted it at the Tokyo embassy, and I want to know how I should have submitted the ‘passport place of issue.’ Can anyone help?

Any advice would be very helpful for me. Thank you in advance!

And Just to note, I heard that many people are currently trying to submit their applications, which is causing delays. The staff recommended that I try submitting from other locations, such as Laos or Hanoi.

How long does it usually take for Ed visa to be given after being on “pending approval” status? And How would you be informed? You habe to keep checking status online in the website? Or they email you or call you?

Been on pending for 5days already.

I suspect embassies from some locations have started “the deal” with the agents in terms of visa applications, and you will not get your DTV visa by yourself. It is kind of mafia thing and some of you guys from First World countries will not understand it. There is a system taking place and I am saying this for you to pay attention on where you are applying. I just got stamped my visa now and it is until 28 May. They started counting from the date the visa is issued.

I see that most people on here have been applying for the DTV from Asian countries. I'd really like to hear about the experience of some Americans. I did see something about consulates here asking for tax returns? Can anyone tell me what they had to do to get approved while applying here? Specifics would be appreciated! Thanks

Hi, I have a work permit and visa extension. I need to renew my passport, does anyone know the procedure on how to transfer the visa from my existing passport to the new passport.

My old passport will be void as soon as I’m issued a new one.

Hello,

Question: I have a US passport and want to renew it in bangkok. If my 30day visa expires while the embassy is processing my passport, will that count as overstaying? Will I get a new visa or some kind of exemption from overstay fees because it was at the embassy?

For context my passport will have less than 6 months of validity after 70ish days, so I want to renew it so I can come back after 60 days and a visa run.

Thanks guys.

I hope Mr. Admin will let me post this:

I want to request a TR60 but I can't use the eVisa system because I live in Luxembourg with French Passport. The system won't let me apply. And I don't want to travel to the Embassy in Belgium (or France) because of all the crazy restrictions.

So, I found this Visa Service:

[members only]

[members only]

They prepare the documents for you and you (myself in this case) send the documents and Passport to the Thai Embassy/Consulate that they communicate to you.

[members only]

5 to 10 days later the Embassy sends back to Passport with Visa attached.

I would like to know if anyone has had experience with this company?

Does anyone see any problems here?

Has anyone had experience with this visa service?

Does someone know of other, similar services where I can avoid the Embassy trip?
