I had an approved DTV visa, which I applied for in Ho Chi Minh City. However, when I entered Thailand, immigration noticed that my DTV had a typo in the passport number, it didn’t match the number on my actual passport.

As a result, I was granted a tourist visa on arrival. The immigration officers at the airport were unsure how to resolve the issue.

Earlier today, I emailed the Thai embassy that issued the visa, and I’ve also scheduled an appointment with the Thai embassy in Bangkok later this week. I’m looking for any advice or information on how best to proceed.

My apologies, my previous post wasn’t clear. It’s been a hectic day. Thanks for the advice.

Hi everyone 👋

Thai embassy in Laos requested to certify the bank statement at the embassy, Has anyone encountered this? or knows what exactly they want? 🤷🏽‍♀️

And How many days does it usually take to schedule an interview? Could I go to Thailand while wait appointment to interview?

Thank you so much in advance 🙏

Can somebody explain this? It says "E-Visa applicants are no longer required to submit passports and supporting documents in person at the Royal Thai Embassy/Consulate-General."

and in the application process it asks "Apply At" for Embasy or Consulate (image 2)

Do I have to go to the embassy or not? Also, I put Germany as an example, does it differ from nationality to nationality?

Applied for DTV through thai embassy in ottawa. Approved within the day.

Asked me for more info (broken link in one of my documents) 90 mins after me submitting application, submitted the document an hour or so later, and approved a couple of hours later.

I did however get my application pre-approved, in that they said I could send them all my documents to look over before applying so I didn't need to waste the application fee if I wasn't eligible and was pre-approved. Pre-approval took a couple of hours only also.

I see a lot of folks talking about the ottawa embassy taking quite a while but ... maybe not.

I am feeling like the low wait time is maybe because of Thailand/Cambodia stuff but don't know for sure.

Canadian just applied for DTV from Japan Tokyo embassy.

So apparently I need my documents notarized since I’m not from Japan/Thailand.

Any Canadians have experience with this? We’re from British Columbia but apparently the Tokyo embassy doesn’t notarized BC documents?

I.e., do we physically have to go back to BC, Canada to notarize our documents?

* Ho Chi Minh City - LINE contact *

Hi everyone. I'm attaching here the contact details of the Thai Embassy in Ho Chi Minh City / Vietnam so you can get a response from them on the LINE app (if they decide to answer🫣). I was able to get this from them after I got there physically because there is no way to reach them.

Hope this helps someone here:

Hello, I am planning to go to Vientiane, Laos for my DTV. Can anyone tell me how I go about getting the appointment at the Thai embassy in Vientiane?

Hi everyone,

I’m applying for the DTV visa from Vietnam (I’m German).

I read on the Thai consulate website that e-Visa applicants no longer need to go to the embassy in person, but I’m still a bit confused.

📌 After submitting my application online, do I need to visit the Thai Embassy/Consulate in Ho Chi Minh at any point?

Or will everything be done online and I just wait for the confirmation email?

If anyone here has applied from Vietnam, I’d really appreciate hearing your experience. 🙏

Hi! I’m a digital nomad from Europe currently in Colombia. I will leave soon for Mexico, where I plan to stay a few months. Then I’d like to visit Asia and I’d like to apply for the dtv visa. Do you think it’s better to apply meanwhile I’m in Mexico City, where I see there’s a Thai embassy, or maybe it’s better to fly directly to an Asian country like Vietnam or Philippines, and apply and wait there? I think I meet all the requirements but I also see people getting denied with no reason and I don’t want to risk to fly to Asia and then fail the application. On the other side I don’t know how Mexico manage visas (bureaucracy is a mess). Has anyone applied in Mexico City? What would you suggest? I appreciate any advise. Thanks

So when applying for the DTV, is the website the best, or do you have to go to the thai embassy in your home country?
