Can you complete a dtac in advance but not submit it until 3 days before departure?

Does anyone have any experience with processing times for a non-immigrant B visa at the Chicago consulate? I know the website says 15 business days, but was wondering how accurate that's been in people's experience. I am waiting on a letter from the HR for the Thai company I'm going to be working for. I plan on traveling on June 23rd (I haven't bought a ticket yet), and I am trying to figure out how close I might be cutting it.

Is there an alternative immigration office in Bangkok besides Chaeng Wattana?

To be based in Prawet/Suan Luang I was hoping there might be an alternative!!

Hi guys, I'm almost finished the online application to Jakarta from Bali. Please I have a question if anyone can advise:

My bank statement address is from UK as I lived in London for many years but my passport is Irish and my home address is listed as my Irish home address.

Will this create a problem?

I could easily change my home address to match the UK bank statement address but will they then question why my home address is UK but passport is Irish?

Would matching addresses be better or is having an Irish home address better?

Ugh I'm so confused thank you in advance for any advice which is better🙏🙏🙏

Thank you🤗

Day 5 in Vientiane.

Application still stuck at the first step, was asked for a different passport photo on Tuesday which I sent immediately.

No further contact from them.

I'd seriously rethink coming here, not just for it being slow but every day in this city feels like a month.

The city is in ruin's and it's like a ghost town.

There are so many other beautiful surrounding countries that you could apply.

Even if it took 3-4 weeks elsewhere it would be a better choice than here.

Hope this helps others avoid this miserable place.

Hi, we are aiming to stay up to 180 days a year in Thailand. At the moment it's 3 to 4 months. Married, have land and house and yellow book and bank account with sufficient funds. If I go for retirement visa, can I stay out of the country for the other 6 months? Or would you recommend another visa.

When applying for my DTV is it okay to apply in the UK with my 500k baht in my Spanish bank as I live in Spain but will be in the UK when applying!

Have read a lot of posts but still can’t quite understand it properly sorry!

Ant advice or help would be much appreciated, thank you 😇

What’s everyone’s experience been like with the Canberra embassy? Applied a bit over a month ago, got asked for further documents and now it’s been pending for 3-4 weeks

[members only]/ - is it a real site? I opened an application for the DTV visa, paid, was asked for more info - but can't get into the site ever again and the verification email never comes, not even into spam. Now it says the pw is wrong so reset pw but again the verification email never comes, not even into spam. I called all the numbers in London and Thailand, emailed all the emails and used messenger...what to do? Do they exist? Or are they a scam?

Hey everyone, any tips for applying from Bali? Would the Muay Thai course letter need to be addressed to the embassy in Jakarta? Anyone had success applying online for DTV e-visa from Bali specifically? I'm flying to Bali tomorrow from DMK. Many thanks🙌🙏
