Hi,

I need help on my case, so I am appreciate every help and advice.

I am a Vietnamese who lives in Finland, I have a Finnish resident permit and a Vietnamese passport.

I will have an internship in Thailand, which lasts for 97 days so I have applied for the Non Immigrant ( ED) type). i applied 3 weeks ago on the eThai website.

I will leave Finland for Thailand this Sunday, on the 26th. And I just received email last Friday from the eThai website that my application is cancelled due to the mismatch in name, between the form and my passport one

I have submitted a new application with a corrected name and attached a speed up letter for it too.

So here come my question.

- is it still posible for me to receive a visa before my flight?

- if not, are there any viable options? I know that Vietnamese can stay 60 day visa free with tourist purpose.

Thank you.

Hello everybody I just want to enquire if anyone got same situation during their submission for DTV visa

I am a long term resident in China “ 2 years RP” and before even I start anything I called the Thai embassy in China and inquired about if a can apply for DTV and they said yes I can apply as long as I have a long term visa in China and it will take 3 months time for the process, which I didn’t have any problem for waiting.

On NOV I have applied for Muai Thai DTV program

I got 2 requests for additional documents

The 1st was the next day of submission and the second was 2 weeks later and I submitted it all required docs.

Since then it was in the pending documents check status .

I called few times during the process and emailed them to check, they just say they have received everything and Now that I have to just wait for the process.

I even called during this week and they said still 3 more days till I finish the exact 3 months time so I have to wait more . I thought I might get an answer anytime during this 3 days. Even I asked if the 3 months will count from the day of submission or uploading the required docs they said from submission date.

I knew that I can not travel abroad during the process.

So I waited patiently for the total 3 months Until today 6 Feb , I checked the website status it was mentioned “finished”.

No email of Rejection or Approval … Just the word “Finished” in the website.

I called the embassy they said that maybe the application time in the system is over which is I guess the 3 months time since the date I applied , and Couldn’t discuss anything further.

Then I sent an email but unfortunately no reply. Tried to call few times later in the evening no answer.

I really don’t know what to do now , any advice from anyone who faced same issue like this. Should I wait longer or move on with my life or what exactly I should do?

Please advice

Been having a nightmare my son works of shore and had an appointment at London embassy tomorrow, obviously he can’t go cos he is working on oil rig in Jakarta. So he gave me all his documents and asked me to ring and cancel his booking and rearrange it wat sounds quite simple , but no , no one answers phone managed to get threw once and was told he has to do it on line he has emailed but no one got back to him , he has already paid his £300 so he looks like he will loose it . That embassy so frustrating no one answers the phone was ring yesterday from 9 in morning🙄

DTV Application: London

Applied: 1 December 2025

Request for information: 06 January 2025

- London have requested a flight atleast 4 weeks from todays date.

- a confirmation letter stating i will remain in the UK.

- letter confirming what i do and that i wont do business with thai companies (i have already sent this)

I have a family wedding in Thailand on the 19th January. What are my options here? I'm honestly not going to book a flight thats over 4 weeks away as it defeats a large part of the purpose of my trip. Ive already had to cancel a flight on 31 December. If I'm unable to fly before the wedding, I'll just cut my losses and do Vietnam instead.

Any help or sharing of similar experiences is appreciated.

DTV - UAE Experience so far

Hey everybody,

Thought I would share my fresh from the press experience here for the DTV application. I applied 3 days ago from the UAE and yesterday I got an email saying my visa was cancelled because I “entered the wrong nationality. Should not be United Arab Emirates” But I 100% entered it correctly (Austria) - see screenshot.

Now they’re asking me to reapply again, obviously running through a new payment of 400 USD.

I also checked the place of issuance, which for me was Dublin as my Austrian Embassy in Dublin has processed my passport.

Super confused as to how to proceed from here...

LTR WP visa: Okay, has anyone encountered this before? My wife (dependent) has now been endorsed by relevant government agencies. Great news, except I (main applicant) have not yet been endorsed. Of note, she is a different screen number, so I assume a different officer. For anyone that will tell me to contact BOI, I have already done so and responses have been useless or nonexistent. Anyone else had this happen?

Ill be applying for my ed visa soon. Which school did everyone decide to go with? I just want to select the best school. I also want to stay away from any with processing issues. I have heard someone recently get deported because the school didn't complete their paperwork in time.
