Planning on going to Thailand in May. When should I apply for the DTV?

Hey guys,

Is there anyone who has received approval from Phnom Penh after 10 business days? Today is my 10th day and I still haven't heard anything. I've had no requests for extra documents and it went to Pending Approval on the same day.

LAST UPDATE. Finally i got my DTV visa☺. I just wanted to share the timeline in Hanoi (from my experience): Applied on dec 23, requested business registration on dec 24, requested previous thai visas on january 7 (morning), DTV visa approved january 7 (afternoon).

Hi guys. I am a bit worried. I came to Hanoi hoping to get my DTV Visa approved quick. However it's been 2 weeks since I applied (I applied dec 23) and I haven't received approval, and I feel kind of stuck here. What should I do? 😔.

Hi.

Please, need your advice ASAP.

We are family of 4 and have tickets for February 8.

1. Is it risky to apply at 1.1, wait for my visa and then the dependants'? Is it enough time?

2. If we apply for dtv visa and won't get it until the flight, can we still come on tourist visa and apply again from Vietnam or similar? The question is - do the process of the dtv stops the opportunity to come as tourists? To apply again from somewhere else?

We can't change our flight, it is fixed and very expensive.

We have all the documents ready. House waiting for us and school as well.

Please help🙏🙏

DTV approved !!!

Big big thanks to everybody in the forum.

Soft power via Muay Thai route in Hanoi.

I could apply through my company but it was much more of a hassle.

Applied Saturday 14th of December and got it Friday 20th the same month.

Monday documents were checked and moved to 2nd step "pending approval".

No extra documents were asked.

And Friday got it.

Just completed the form on the website (not app). Last time I tried it failed, apparently wasn't working..?

Anybody had success recently?? Is it working now?

Posting anon as no one knows our plans yet.

I’ve looked on here and can’t seem to find an answer. So hoping someone can help.

We plan on entering Thailand in Jan 2025. If I apply for a DTV now, if approved, how long do you have to fly in to Thailand?

Just trying to gauge when we should apply to the UK embassy.

Thank you in advance

Hi All,

I have got my DTV approved from Dubai.

Thank you so much to this group and everyone help.

Hi everyone,

Could anyone clarify how far in advance we’re allowed to apply for the DTV? For exxample, if I plan to arrive in Thailand in March 2025, would it be possible to submit the application as early as December 2024?

Has anyone had experience with this through the Hanoi Embassy? Thank you for your help!
