Information for who gets online interview request: I got approved DTV last week from Ankara, Turkey. I applied in workcation category. I'm a foreigner with Turkish short-term residency. After 10 days of application, I received an email, to attend interview. The interview date and time was mentioned there. But there was also mentioned to send an email to consular.ank@mfa.go.th to get the online interview link. I sent email requesting the link, but no reply. Finally, I physically went to Thai Embassy in Ankara on the interview date. The visa officer was polite, and at first he said Sorry because they didn't reply my email. The interview was maximum 7-8 minutes. He just looked at my original documents- job contract, Bank statement, Residence permit card etc. Then said- Ok. You can go now.

I received the approval email next morning at 9:00.

So, advice to those who got such email for online interview link request. Don't wait for consular reply only.

Hello, I applied for DTV visa on 02.05.2025. I filled out all the necessary documents. Today is the 6th day. I applied to Ankara embassy. My flight ticket is at 20.05. Will it be ready by this date? If not, do I need to contact the consulate? How can I address them? What should I write? Can you please support me so that they can help me?

Is it possible to apply for the DTV as a non Turkish person at the Thai consulate in Istanbul, or electronically via the Ankara Thai Embassy?

Or is it only possible for non Turkish to get DTV in person in Ankara?

Thank you.
