UPDATE : Visa was approved and status changed back to request interview.

THANK YOU SO MUCH I JUST RECEIVED MY APPROVAL !!!!

After calling the embassy multiple times with no response and one lady told me it's no point of me coming to the consulate if I don't have an appointment, I decided to write them an email again.

I sent the third email with urgent and flight date on 03.11 in the REFERENCE

In the email I sent my condolences to the passing of the queen and that we love Thailand and have been there yearly every winter since 2020.

My visa just got approved!!!! This time it is an INDEPENDENT DTV not as a follower of my husband like the DTV visa I received on the 14th October!!!!

I'm beyond happy and exited for our next chapter as a family in Thailand with our dog.

Thank you so much for your help and advice !!!! I'm so happy !!!!

Visa was approved and status changed back to request interview

I went to the interview on the 20th of October and 9 days later, the status has not changed.

I sent 2 emails to Frankfurt with no reply. What should I do ?

Please help, I'm so worried. I'm not from a visa exempted country, my husband is German. He got his DTV in May.

Our flight is next week Monday 03.11.

The emails I sent all got unanswered.

Hello!

I made application for Thailand evisa before 5 days!

Anybody knows,what is this,how many days we will wait for evisa 30days valid in Thailand?

Thanks

Im applying for a Non O Marriage Evisa through the Sydney consulate and will initially be staying in my wife's apartment which she owns as per her ID card then I will stay at her other property which she owns for which she has a blue house book in her name

What do I put under Accomodation type? Accomodation Name ?

Duration of stay ?

Does she need to make a invitation letter for both properties?Or would it be simpler to just use one adress for the 90 days .

This is a much more detailed than when I applied last October apologies for my confusion!

I should have included this in my previous question about the visa processing timeline. When I completed the application, I accidentally input the wrong end date. I should have used the same date as my health insurance expiration, but I wasn't aware of this requirement and instead wrote an end date approximately 360 days from my planned arrival date.

My insurance expires about 2 weeks before the one-year anniversary of my arrival.

When I contact the consulate about their anticipated visa completion date, should I also correct this information? They'll likely discover the discrepancy during processing anyway.

Approved 😀

Thank you to this group for providing such valuable information!!!! To pay it forward, here's how my application went.

Applied in HCM on Wednesday 15/01 around 8PM for Muay Thai DTV

Had a quick look on Friday 17/01 and saw status moved to pending approval

Was getting a bit nervous today (business day #5) as I didn't want to be stuck here for Tet. Emailed the consulate this morning (no reply) and called them at 4:30PM (30 minutes before closing). The lady on the phone said my application would be approved today or tomorrow, I asked her if it please can be today and she said she'd speak to the consul.

40 minutes later (5:10PM) I got the approval email.

Documents:

Proof of location: pdf with a picture of entry stamp, boarding pass, hotel booking and Vietnam visa

Financial: Savings account 01/07/2024 - 15/01/2025 (day of application), there was well over THB500K in the account for the entire period. I gave them monthly statements with all transactions and beginning/end amounts (Dutch bank, did not translate the statements)

Muay Thai:

* letter of endorsement

* letter of enrolment (8 months training, start date, also stating I had paid 1 month ahead and will be living in the gym)

* training schedule

* gym business registration

* sports authority registration

* house book gym

* house book gym owner

* ID (back and front) gym owner

Form

Home address: hotel in HCM

Permanent address: gym in Thailand

Thai address: gym in Thailand

Employment: unemployed (I'm actually a freelancer but between contracts so technically not lying)

My background

November '21 - July '23 countless visa exempts, a few tourist visa's, extensions, border runs and (remember those?) 2 COVID extensions

July '24 - now ED visa + 1 ED extension (did not get a re-entry stamp when I left last week), visa I got through a language school

I genuinely train at the gym, have been since 2018, it's a relatively small, family-owned gym that only does DTV for people who will actually attend training (so unless you're willing to do so, don't ask which gym it is 😉)

Flying back tomorrow, will update this post to let you know how immigration went (Phuket).

UPDATE re entry: Entered through Phuket Intl Airport, the IO studied my ED visa and extension, told me I don't have to do fingerprints, only photo and didn't ask any questions, stamped me in for 180 days. Easy peasy ☺️

Currently in Thailand on a Tourist visa.

I run a full blown website and meet all the financial requirements... Also made a portfolio presentation to be given to the visa processing consolute..

I am from Canada and dont want to fly back home but would like to fly somewhere and apply for it at a Thai consolute in a neighboring country. I tried going to the Osaka one... but once I got there... they said I had to be a permanent resident.

Where can I go to get this accomplished? Without flying back to Canada.

Also.. im open to the idea of hiring somebody to do the application if need be..

Thank you for your time and consideration.

I am not quite sure that I can apply for the DTV visa, would an agent like to reach out? Yes, I know what the requirements are. Thanks.

For Americans that applied for the DTV in the USA, did you have to show a plane ticket and intended place to stay ? The LA consulate lists neither as a requirement and it says you can use the visa whenever you want.

But did they make you show a plane ticket and place to stay in Thailand or no ?

How months of bank statements did they want ?

Because when you apply it says don’t apply more than 3 months before intend stay.

Foreigner with tourist visa, DTV process in India

Hi everyone! I would like to know if anyone with experience can share whether someone staying in India on a tourist visa can apply for a DTV in India.

If you have experience applying for a DTV, how did you manage to obtain the demand draft for 25,000 Rupees for the visa fees? I have inquired at several banks, but they couldn’t issue the demand draft as I don’t have an Indian bank account.

Got mine approved back in August. I gave them an employment contract to do social media management and web content for a business in my home country.

It was very easy and approval was quick at that time.
