Dunno if this helps, but this is how it all took place for me...

I applied DTV (eVisa)

Status was 'Peding Document Check' for over 5 weeks!!! 😣😣🤧

Phone reply: Write an email

Email reply: Wait Patiently

😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

Finally, I walk-in to the consulate during visa-visiting-hours, on a thursday, this is 5+ weeks after I applied ...

Within 30 seconds they check that all is in order and make it 'Pending Approval'

Three days later (Sunday) 9pm (at night) Approved. 🙂

Then apply for my spouse, Next working day it moves to 'pending approval'. A week or so later, it's Sunday again, and BOOM, 1pm (afternoon) Approved. 🙂

Has anyone applied via E-Visa from USA recently? My friend said they’re asking for IRS tax returns and that it takes months, but not sure if that’s the case. I’d apply through the Los Angeles consulate.

Hi everyone, I’m a business owner in the UK and live in Thailand. I need to apply for the DTV from outside Thailand. I recently moved over 500k from my business account to my personal one, and I’m wondering where the best place to apply is. From what I’ve read, Taipei seems like the best option—can anyone confirm this?

My ED visa expires on October 13th, so I’m short on time. Will a one-month bank statement showing today’s transfer be enough, or should I show a business bank statement with my name and the company details?

If anyone has been in a similar situation, your advice would be appreciated. Do I need to fly there and apply in person, or book an appointment online first? Should I wait to book my return flight to Thailand?

Thanks in advance for any help!

DTV Visa from the Los Angeles Consulate

I am a freelance photographer with a history of visiting Thailand visa exempt and with single-entry tourist visas.

I applied on August 25th for DTV Workcation as a freelance photographer on the evisa website of the Thai Consulate in Los Angeles. I uploaded the following documents, each on signed in blue ink, as a multiple-page PDF:

1. LLC organization document issued by Secretary of State’s office.

2. Tax ID number document issued by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service.

3. Company annual report for 2023 certified by the state Secretary of State’s office

4. Portfolio of photographic work in the form of my website

5. Artistic resume listing exhibitions and publications where my work has appeared

6. Letter on company letterhead stating that I am able to take all the time I need to photograph in Thailand.

7. Most recent brokerage statement.

8. Copy of state driver’s license.

9. Recent passport photo.

10. Biodata page from passport.

On September 17th, the Thai consulate requested that I upload a company profile.

On September 18th, I uploaded the company profile as instructed.

On September 19th, I was notified of DTV Visa approval.

Have any American self employed people people received the DTV?

Currently in Penang Malaysia applying for a DTV and these people are horrible human beings. They had me return back there 4 different times, each time asking for a different document outside the required documents on the requirement list.

They are asking that I have a signed house lease in Thailand. Also a certified bank statement (which I have never heard) I called my US bank and they said there is no such thing. The letter from my US company that is on a company letter head and signed. They said it needs to be stamped.

At this point I’m done with Thailand, their immigration is too arrogant and racist for my taste.

How do I report this to their superiors and to those who got a DTV, did you have to submit a certified bank statement?

Does anyone know a photoshop close to the Ho Chi Minh consulate? Need to take photo for application. Thank you!

Bank Details...

(this might be a silly question, but...)

When you provide proof of funds, are you just giving them your statement. With your account number, sort code, address etc all visible?

Or do you black out all the numbers except the last four digits or something?

And the same goes for printing off your bank statements...

how do you do it without sending a stranger in a shop statements with all your bank details on it??

I hope you can help. I just got back in New York and my passport got washed with the laundry. 🙄My multiple entry permit and my Non-O stamp are somewhat readable. I’m applying for a new U.S. Passport right away. Will Thai Immigration let be back in with two passports? Can I go to the Thai Consulate in NYC and get my new passport stamped with a new Non-O Visa stamp and a new Multiple Reentry Permit stamp from them? I’ll be in the US several months so I have time. Thank you.

Hi all I am in Laos for 7 days I will be coming back to Thailand after 7 days when I left Thailand one of the guys said I had to go to the Thai consulate before I come back into Thailand to get a new Visa I only want a 30 day Visa back.
