Got my DTV in Sydney Australia yesterday. Lodged on 6 November explained that my existing visa expires 19 November.

Stayed at pending document check until 20 November. Got a email 21 November Approved.

No problems with the application. No additional documents. Got the DTV on the Softpower platform Thai Cooking classes with House of taste 6 months.

Thanks for the advise read on this forum.

Applied in Canberra/Australia on the 1st of November, and 21 days later I received it... I also think it was because I specified that I was travelling on the 1st of December.

They don't answer their phone too.

How long does it take to get a tourist visa from the uk. I’ve been to Thailand 3 times this year.

Yo! How long is the visa approval for DTV if I’m applying from Vietnam or Laos? Thanks in advance yo! 🫶🏽

Hello,

I have a bit of an odd situation. I have a DTV, and am living with my long-term GF from Europe who doesn't have. Immigration has become more strict and having doubts she'll be let back in when we go back.

We can't do dependent DTV because Thailand doesn't recognise common law marriage.

However it just so happens we'll be travelling to Taiwan in a couple of days, and I've just emailed their embassy. The embassy says we can apply through the E-Visa Portal, and we have to comply with the requirements set out on their embassy website.

The thing is, on their embassy website, it doesn't specify the need to hold 500k Thai Baht for 3 months, just that you have 500k Thai Baht in the Account and can prove it.

*"Financial evidence: amount of no less than 500,000 THB OR equivalent amount in foreign currency e.g. bank statements OR sponsorship letter covering living expenses."*

In that case, I'm pondering a few things and would appreciate any insight or help into any of the points.

1) Could I just transfer her like 20k EUR from my account a couple of days before, and would that suffice? No need for 3 month proof when reading their site...

2) If the visa application was taking too long, could we cancel it before they've completed their review? We only have a set amount of days in Taiwan, and we're due back to Thailand for a wedding on the 3rd of Dec. All flights and accommodation booked, so I dont want to lose it.

Canberra Non-O retirement process time?

Hello all! Looking for advice on how long it takes to process a Non-O retirement visa from the Canberra embassy. Applied on 28 October and the portal has showed “Pending Approval” since 4 November. Our travel date is 3 weeks today and we are trying not to panic 😝

Have sent polite email and voicemail but no response.

Any insights would be appreciated!

I applied for a DTV visa in Jakarta on 10 November, but I haven’t received any email yet. How long is the processing time

Has anyone recently applied through the embassy in Malaysia? What was the process like and how long did it take? Were you called for an interview? If so, what was it like and how should you prepare?

It has been around 10 days I've applied for DTV (workation), still the status is pending documents check. Could anyone tell what is the approx time of the initial status change in Thai embassy, Jakarta.

Anyone here applied for Multiple Entry Tourist Visa from Sydney Consulate?
