Do you have any feedback on the current delays with the Paris embassy?

Was it a bad idea for me to apply at Phnom Penh on August 11?

The embassy is open and accepting applications, but I'm still waiting for a status on the DTV.

I ask because no one seems to be going to that embassy anymore in this group.

I have very strange situation, my DTV is pending since 22nd April, 2025 and now on 8th July, 2025 it is showing pending approval. I sent three reminders with additional documents (which inlcude UK visit visa) but i have not received any reply. I read some posts which shows that after pending approval mostly applications get approve. I have applied from Embassy of Islamabad. My catagory might be change because i am self employed and provide legal consultations online to my clients.

I am travelling to UK, Serbia and Turkey in July. What should i do? Shall i go for vacation?

Shall i consider DTV approved or it can be rejected too. I have strong social media presence as well as requisite amount required for DTV lying in bank since last 2 to 3 years.

Update : I received Approval email on 8 July( today )

I applied for a DTV visa on 30 June in Hanoi and received "pending approval" status on 1 July. I haven’t received any updates since then.

My question is:

has anyone received DTV visa approval in Hanoi today (7 July 2025)? How long will it take?

Hi everyone, I’d truly appreciate the group’s help.

I submitted DTV applications for my wife and kids (as dependents) at the Thai Consulate in Ho Chi Minh City 21 days ago (I already hold a DTV visa as a remote worker).

After 5 days, their applications changed to “Pending Approval”, and they’ve been stuck there for more than 2 weeks.

I’ve tried calling the consulate (no answer) and sent emails (no reply).

Does anyone know how to expedite this process? Or can anyone recommend an agent who has a direct line to the consulate?

Thanks so much in advance!

I applied tourist visa 20 days before but still under process I m Pakistani national living in UAE from last 10 years

Before I visited many time Thailand on multiple entry visa

Any one knows reason of delay

Yesterday I cancelled and reapplied again

Hello friends,

I applied for DTV as remote worker at LA consulate mid March and around 10 days later got a request for more documentation. It’s been more than 30+ days now after submission with no update. I emailed them already 3 weeks post re-submission and still no update on the application. Still says ‘pending document check.’ If I get accepted, great. But, if I get rejected, can I walk into a consulate in Taiwan and apply there as a US citizen? It’s unfortunate that the LA consulate has taken as long as it has because I’ve heard from others that the Thai consulates in other parts of the US are processing at a much faster rate. Any advice will be appreciated.

LOS ANGELES THAI CONSULATE:

Applied March 6th. Submitted further documents March 25th. Have not heard back since. It is now April 14th 2025

I applied for the DTV Soft Power on May 6th with all required documents and triple checked all information was submitted correctly word for word.

13 days later (March 25th) I get an email asking to submit a bank statement requiring a MINIMUM of $17,000 USD, with my name clearly printed and it cannot be an investent profile. My name was CLEARLY PRINTED on my bank statement, it is a statement from a SAVINGS/ CHECKING ACCOUNT with my BANK which also has the banks name and address cleary printed on it. I submitted the statement with $15,300 USD AS THE E-VISA WEBSITE and every other resource available online stated the requirement was a minimim of $15,000. I could have submitted the statement with $17,000+ the first time if thats what made clear anywhere but it wasnt.

I resubmitted a new bank statement with $17,500 1 day of recieving that further documents requested email (March 27) and ever since status has been in "Processing Document Check (1) ". I underatand as of now it Songkran in Thailand, but that document was sumbitted way prior to the holiday.

I also submitted the documents for my finacé's DTV SoftPower on April 4th 2025 with all the same required documents except I made sure her bank statement has well over $17,000 USD. We applidd to the same consulate as me. Her status has been "Pending Payment" ever since. Its been 6 business days and no status change.

I'll continue my patience but wrote this out slight confusion & frustration.

WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THE THAI CONSULATE LOS ANGELES

Anyone have any advice on submitting 90 days online? Every time I do it they take a VERY long time to respond to it and I end up having to go to Chaeng Wattana, which I do not want to do as it is terribly far and such a long wait.

I submitted my 90 days within the 15 days (14th day) and it has been pending for 3 days straight. Everyone else I know who submits their 90 days online gets a response within hours or less on the same day.

I called Immigration and they could not check for me. She gave me two phone numbers, one rings and rings and someone refuses the call after a few rings, and the other is "not connected yet" according to the information that I get when I call it.

Does ANYONE have a phone number I can call or is there ANY way I can find out what the hold up is on my 90 day application? I filled it out accurately and well within their period, it's just taking forever. I know 3 days is a short time, but as each day passes, it becomes later and later and causes me to make plans of going to to Chaeng Wattana.

Thank you.

UPDATE: APPROVED!! The same day of payment! The application went from “ready to submit-awaiting paymentnt” when we woke up, to “paid” after he went and fixed their little mistake giving the rest of the 9k baht at 9am (see below), to APPROVED by 2pm😄

Highly recommend the Savannakhet consulate in Laos!!! Just make sure they dont get confused by how much money you owe them when you get to the consulate to pay😉

Anyone else apply in Savannakhet Laos? Submitted the application yesterday, this location requires you to apply online, then go to the consulate and pay the visa fees in person 10k baht.

Well today my husband who is applying as a spouse on my DTV visa (acquired in Teipei in November) went to pay with the 10k baht in hand. For some reason they only took 1k baht and handed him back the rest. Super odd right? Has this happened to anyone else?

Any ideas why they didn’t just take the 10k?
