Soft power with Discover Thai Nature

No additional documents requested. Birth date, passport number, expirations all correct, 500k in the account with 3 months provided. Same soft power invitation that others were successful with prior to the new year.

I went to the embassy in person to try to talk to someone and they just kept saying to apply online and call the phone number. They also said just fly to Bangkok and they will sort me out at the airport (lol). When you call the phone number it just hangs up when you request to speak to an operator.

You can see through the window that they are just eating oranges and playing iPhone games.

Some reports of others as well just being arbitrary rejected for all soft power ever since the change to 10 business days processing time.

Not a big deal but CM immigration stamped me for July 27th and I entered today on DTV Jan 29th. The extra two days would be nice or am I not calculating the days right?

For Myanmar applicants that applied for the DTV e.g. in Hanoi or another location outside of Myanmar, how did you put your Myanmar name in the form?

The Thai Embassy in Yangon posted that it should be only in the "First Name" section: [members only]

Does this apply also to other Thai embassies in the region or do they get confused?

New to the group. I am currently a US based Flight Attendant. Are there any flight attendants who have been successful in securing the visa? Also, would you guys recommend using an agency or just doing it myself? Thank you for any help in advance. Really looking to make this move this year 2nd quarter.

LA seems to be the quickest US consulate. Just had this feedback: "Hello! I wanted to let you know my DTV was approved on January 15, 2025. It took exactly 3 weeks. I am so excited! I was not asked for any additional paperwork or clarification from the Thai Consulate in Los Angeles, and approval came swiftly. I just wanted to say THANK YOU! I believe the packet you put together was detailed and accurate making the entire application very smooth."

To all the UK applicants. The passport nationality is British and there is no British option for this on the drop down box on the website. It is United Kingdom and British overseas territories and therefore does not strictly correspond with the passport. What are other applicants experiences with this and what did you put on the application? Those who got approval does it say British or United Kingdom and British overseas territories on the final approved visa?

Have a great day!

Is there anybody in this group from Thai Visa concern government officials?

Hello, I’m going to immigration tomorrow for a 30 day extension, I have all the required documentation except the TM7. What is this and where do I get one?

Thank you

Hey everyone, I have a serious question.

I recently got approved for my DTV, and I’m so happy about it! My flight is currently scheduled for February 24.

However, after getting approved, I received a court letter requiring me to be in the U.S. this April. Because of this, I’m considering changing my flight to June or July.

Will changing my flight affect my visa status or risk it being revoked? I don’t want to lose my visa, but I also can’t miss this court date. I just want to make sure everything will be okay.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Has anyone here gotten their DTV at Vientiane without an interview?

Just curious because I want to know the timeline before applying. Agents are telling me something completely different than what I've read in this group.

Also, they are checking bank statements? For security purposes I only do online banking on my laptop. Would I need to take my laptop for the interview?
