Is anyone applying for DTV in HCMC on December 10 (I know it’s a government day off) and still waiting for approval today?

Also, can someone please share the time they received their approval email from the embassy? I noticed that many of you got approved very late in the evening, around 1 a.m.

I already submitted my application like this. The arrival and departure are same date. I got confused. It’s for DTV Jakarta. Do you think I will get denied for such a small mistake ?

If i do the Application online, do i need to go to a local embassy for interviews etc. Or is everything online then?

DTV approved and I've been in Thailand for a few weeks now. I owe everyone this group a big thanks for all the helpful information! Got my DTV approved in Jakarta. It took 4 days from start to finish. I applied under the Muay Thai category. I've trained Muay Thai casually before but now I'm in my 40s and was a bit concerned about trying it, but it's been amazing.

Very smooth process, got my documents in a day from the gym after paying, 7 documents in total. Responsive and professional, and I’m thoroughly enjoying my training here.

Jakarta was ok, a lot of traffic and poor public transport but people very friendly and I love satay!

i recently just got my dtv accepted and on the visa it has my initial flight info. if i need to reschedule my flight do i need to fill out any forms or paperwork to update the flight info?

Hello,

My DTV just got approved today at HCM via Muay Thai route after 4 business days.

I wanted to thank this groups for answering all the questions and shared your success story.

approved DTV! 🥰

apply evisa in Jakarta on Dec 8th, change status to pending approval on 11th, and just approved today on 13th! Really nervous because my flight is tomorrow and plan to change the flight if until 9pm I didn't get the visa yet.

They didn't ask for more document but I also make sure all the documents are complete and the Muay Thai place that I choose is really helpful w the necessary docs.

I’m 19, I got my DTV approved at the Royal Thai Embassy in Yangon, Myanmar, despite everyone saying it wasn’t possible due to me not being 20.

I’m a high earner, a part time freelancer and also work a 9-5 corporate job. I think it might have resulted in my visa approval.

I applied in person at embassy, where I had a casual interview with the Consul General. She asked about my work and travel history, but mostly, she seemed genuinely interested in my previous travels in Thailand.

The next day, I collected my approved visa and passport.

The documents I submitted included:

- Resume

- Company Certificate

- Company Extract

- Company Tax Payer Identification

- Employment Contract (Approved and Stamped by the Ministry of Labor)

- Statment by the Board of Directors supporting remote work applications.

- Formal request letter from my company to the Royal Thai Embassy

- Balance Certificate Issued by Bank

- 6 months of bank statement

It’s not a hefty process, if you align with their criteria I’m sure they won’t make it difficult for you.

Good luck with your DTV applications everyone. Everything is possible!

Hello everyone.

My DTV was approved (Ho Chi Minh). It took a week longer than anticipated and I came back to Thailand early (entered with a tourist visa).

I'm planning a trip to KL next week to get the DTV stamp. I've been there many times, so I was thinking of returning the same day. Would Thai immigration have any problems with it?

I know those border runs were more of an issue when entering back into Thailand with a tourist visa. Would it be fine to do a 3-4 hour trip, but entering with DTV this time?

Has anyone been asked for Request of Additional documents during the pending approval stage? I feel like I messed up by missing to attach something. Called embassy here they said it’s out of their hands as it’s send forward for more checking before approval so I’m wondering can they request extra docs or will they likely just reject if there is something missing this late in?

Doc requested was business registration which I sent the companies house registration number rather than the actual document even though I have the document and only thought of this after. Rookie mistake I know
