How has everyones experience been applying for the DTV extension? I need to go this week and I'm feeling a little nervous. This would be my first time extending. Any tips are appreciated.

Applied in Jakarta on the 17th September and haven't heard back (today 25th September). The status below still says:

"Processing Pending Document Check (1)", I haven't received an Email from their side e.g asking for more documents, but would that appear also on their webpage if that was the case?

Anyone also experiencing this applying through Jakarta?

Thank you

Hi . Anyone recently applied for a Thai retirement visa from the UK.

Anyone have any experience going the Washington DC immigration office. Applied for DTV Visa on June 15th and still awaiting documentation check. A bit nervous since I have flight on August 1st

Hi everyone,

Just wondering if anyone else has applied for the DTV visa from Cambodia recently? I submitted my application on June 2nd, and it’s now been 18 business days – still showing as “Pending Approval.”

Is this delay normal, or should I be concerned? Would really appreciate hearing about your timelines or any recent experiences. Thanks in advance!

Update: got approved today 30/6 after 28 days (19 business days) 🥳

DTV approved in Cambodia after 3 weeks or 16 business days later.

Thai embassy here was not very helpful with me but hope you got better luck, questions down below 🙌

Update : The visa finally got approved!! ✅✅✅

🗓️My timeline 👇🏻

- 29May : Finished the application almost at midnight

- 30May : "Pending Document Checking 1 "

- 5 June : "Pending Approval 1 "

- 11 June: Visa got approved and received Email

📌Total working days = 9 days ( I include 2-3June holiday because some people got approved that day too)

Thank you so much to this group that shared a lot of useful information and support!!

I would like to know if anybody who apply from Hanoi get approved with more than 5 working days since the status change to "pending approval"

I applied on 29May after office hour then the status changed to "pending document checking" next day 30May

Then 5June status was changed to "pending approval" and no additional documents were requested.

Since the majority of people who post their successful story here got the approval so fast (even they applied after I did mine)

So I just want to know if I should go following up at the embassy or just keep calm and waiting.

TIA.🙏

Hey folks, I applied for soft power Muay Thai at Canberra embassy in Australia on the 14th of May, I had to add an additional doc on the 20th, I’ve heard Canberra can be fast and slow approving visas. Has anyone else on here gone through Canberra and what were your results.

Thanks heaps 🙏

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

Submitted my application to the Los Angeles consulate on Jan 30th for workcation digital nomad.

Received a request on February 14th for more documentation. They wanted to see a tax return, portfolio, and business registration. I sent that all the same day.

No update on the dashboard since, it still says "Pending document check".

I read on Reddit that it takes 2-4 weeks normally with the LA consulate. I am now entering week 5.

Anyone else have experience with the Los Angeles consulate and timeframes?
