After submitting the DTV application, can we back to Thailand , and once we get the DTV visa go out of the country and activate it ?Anyone did like that ?

Thanks in advance for the response

Has anyone entered the country via a land border on a DTV visa for the first time (aka "activating" the visa from via a land border)? I was wondering is it's hassle free, or one has to enter the Kingdom via air to have it activated for the first time. Thanks!

Hi, I applied last week for an METV from UK which has been approved and issued today ( only took 3 days) I am not arriving until 8 June (which my documents showed that were submitted) however my Visa states valid from 24 March until 19 September 25.

Does the Visa mean I have between the dates to arrive in Thailand and my Visa will be ‘active’ from the arrival stamp date and I can travel in and out of Thailand as a tourist for 6 months from that arrival date (8 June) or does it mean it’s ‘active’ from today until September?

Thanks

Hi,

When you receive a DTV visa

do you have to visit Thailand to activate it ?

Hi everyone!

I just got my DTV visa approved while I’m already in Thailand on a tourist visa, didn’t expect it, which is why I’m in this situation.

I’m currently in Chiang Mai and was thinking about heading up north to activate it. Or would it be better to just book a flight and do a quick 24-hour round trip?

What’s the best option? Thanks in advance for your advice! 🙏🏼

Applied in LA Dec 16, 2 week soft power cooking. Emailed Jan 2, further documents requested/sent Jan 4, emailed later that day with no response for weeks. Called many times but the line is disconnected. Decided to go to Thailand on my scheduled flight anyway. Emailed the consulate again Jan 26. They requested the same exact documents I previously submitted. I uploaded and emailed, then was approved today.

Hi, What happens if my non imm O visa trough e-visa will be approved while i’m in Thailand with visa exemption?

It will be activated when i’ll enter the next time or? If it is the case the 90 days will start from the approval date or from the date that i’ll re enter the following time?

So I just got my FTV visa approved but I’m in Thailand.

Hello guys, I submited my visa on jan 6, but after contacting the embassy I thought they would not approve it so I decided to come to thailand.

I landed today and got a notification informing me that it was approved.

What should I do now… please help!!

I applied in Madrid embassy and I’m a spanish citizen

Hey all.

I applied for my DTV in the UK before arriving, but it didn't get processed in time. So I crossed the Thai border on a tourist visa, and frustratingly, my DTV was approved only hours afterward.

Does anyone know if I can re-enter with my DTV on a border run or switch over somehow? It is multi-entry, afterall.

Thanks!

Got my DTV visa this week. How critical is it to go to Thailand in the next 90 days to “activate” it? Or it can happen any time in the next 5 years without issues? The instructions are ambiguous. Thx!
