Has anyone been approved over the weekends in Hanoi?

I’m sure I read someone had but I thought they’re only open on week days.

Am I likely to hear back on a Friday afternoon?

Anyone approved in HCMC yesterday/today? When did you apply?

I feel like I’ve been “process pending approval “ for ages now.

Thank you!

Among those who apply for the DTV visa, what are the most common reasons for approval or rejection?

Sharing a quick observation from our DTV application process and helping a few others recently with documents, application forms, and choosing where to apply from.

From what I’ve seen so far — applicants with a solid travel history and no overstay or immigration violations seem to be getting approvals faster compared to those without much travel background or any past issues with Thai immigration.

Of course, this is just an observation, not a rule. We’re all learning and supporting each other through the process.

Would love to hear your thoughts or experiences. Has anyone noticed something similar?

Hi everyone, can anyone help me. So I applied for a DTV visa over a month ago in the US they ended up needing more info and I thought I wasn’t going to qualify in time so was just waiting to get denied. I came to Thailand on a visa exempt for my passport and then was going to get a different visa under my son’s school because he is going to school here. However I just found out I got approved but I’m in the country now, what do I do??

Firstly, I would like to sincerely thank everyone in this group for sharing valuable information and guidance. I applied for the DTV on July 2nd and received my approval today here in Cambodia. I have been working as a freelancer with genuine remote freelance jobs.

At first, I was quite worried that border-related issues might impact the outcome of my application, but I’m truly relieved now. I believe that as long as our documents are complete and aligned with the embassy’s requirements, there is a strong chance of success.

Wishing the very best to everyone still waiting for their results — may you receive good news soon. Thank you once again💕🙏

Hey everyone,

Just got approved in Manila. Took 8 business days (total of 2 weeks because 2 weekdays were a thai holiday (thurs, fri last week).

Applied under Soft Power Muay Thai (9 months of classes).

Sent in all the necessary documents.

They asked for 2 additional documents:

1. The actual receipt of payment of Muay Thai classes

2. My business registration of my LLC

Status went into pending approval yesterday, approved today.

The application process is very straightforward:

1. Look on the embassy website for all the documents they require.

2. Provide them in visa application

3. Monitor your visa application in the event that you are asked for additional documents

4. Provide additional documents

5. Wait for approval

6. Enjoy Thailand :)

It's all spelled out on the embassy website.

Hi guys,

I am wondering if someone could help, please.

I will be in Bali for 5 days, then flying to Australia for a week, then back to Thailand after that.

My concern is that I need to stay in Bali until my DTV is approved, but if it is delayed, then I may have already flown to Australia, and this will cause issues.

I am hoping I can apply and be approved in Bali, but if not, it will still be ok if I am in Australia by the approval date.

Does anyone know if this would cause an issue, or as long as it is all done online, it shouldn't cause any problems?

Thanks in advance 🙏🏻
