𝔻𝕋𝕍 𝕊𝕆𝔽𝕋 ℙ𝕆𝕎𝔼ℝ 𝔸ℙℙℝ𝕆𝕍𝔼𝔻!

Took only 4 BUSINESS DAYS, from Thai Embassy in HANOI. Amazingly short time, I couldn't be happier!

Went for the 6-month cooking class from "House of Taste Thai Cooking" (Bangkok) and I decided to go for a visa agent, as I have a long history of different visas in Thailand and was afraid not to be granted the DTV for this reason.

French passport here, started with border runs, then an ED visa, then some Tourist visas, and even despite owning a TV, I was stopped at Suvarnabhumi airport by the immigration agent for coming in & out too often, so I then decided to go for an expensive Elite / Privilege visa. That was 6 years ago, just before the Covid era.

Last week, instead of renewing my Elite visa (as I didn't see any rational reason for paying that much - 50x more, at least - for it, except maybe for being able to open some bank accounts), I simply went for the 'new' DTV and I have absolutely no regret! Applied on a Wednesday, approved on a Monday.

Good Luck to EVERYONE, Peace! :)

📌 Urgent Information Needed Regarding DTV Visa – Manila Thai Embassy

Hello everyone,

I would like to ask a few important questions:

1. Has anyone applied for a DTV visa at the Thai Embassy in Manila?

2. If so, how long did the processing take?

3. Has anyone received visa approval in June?

I’m planning to apply as a Freelancer, and I already have 500,000 THB in my bank account (financial proof is ready).

I would really appreciate it if anyone who has recent experience could kindly share their timeline and advice.

Thank you so much 🙏

Does anybody know usually how long does it take after your status changes from “pending document check” to “pending approval” that you receive your actual approved visa?

Hello

I would like to inquire about applying for a DTV visa to Thailand from Israel.

I am an Israeli citizen and hold an Israeli passport, but I am not a resident of Israel.

Next year, I plan to visit Israel and, during my stay, I would like to apply for a DTV visa.

My company is registered in Hong Kong (not in Israel).

Do you have any information or experience with similar cases — applying for a DTV visa through Israel while the company is based in Hong Kong?

If you’ve encountered such cases before and they were approved, I’d love to know:

Is this procedurally possible?

On average, how long does it take from the time of application until the visa is issued?

Thank you very much

Has anyone here successfully obtained a DTV for their spouse or dependent?

I recently received approval for my own DTV and have submitted a separate application for my wife.

I’m curious about the typical processing time for dependent applications.

How long did it take for your spouse or dependent to get approved?

I'm looking into applying for the DTV as a sole proprietor. For those of you that have done this:

What embassy did you go through?

What documents were required?

How long did it take to be approved?

Thanks so much in advance!

Hello, has anyone had experience applying for a visa through the Thai E-visa system? I’m applying for a Non-B visa to work as a teacher, and right now I have a tourist visa (TR). Do I need to fill out the application while I’m in Thailand, or do I have to go to a Thai consulate in another country? And how many days does it usually take to get the visa?
