I thought that once I submitted the Application I would be less stressed. I was wrong....waiting for them to process the application is just as stressful :-) Submitted and paid Sunday. No progress yet ...yes I know it is only Tuesday but other applications seem to be getting an additional document request within 24 hours ( applied Hanoi)

Thank you so much for all the help and support in this group - really appreciate it!

Does someone submitted DTV in Cambodia in the middle of September? Do you get your visa?

We are waiting since 15 September. They ignore line not answer anything.

Did anyone apply in Laos recently and can tell me how long it takes to get it approved?

Has anyone recently applied and been approved for a DTV from laos if so was it a easy process and how long did it take ?

I have been approved for my DTV visa today! I’m so shocked as I was asked to send further documents today (11:20) and have received approval the same day (16:10)!!

Thankyou so much for everyone’s help, this group is honestly invaluable!

If anyone has any questions let me know, I applied at HCMC consulate under soft power with a less reputable gym in Ao Nang Krabi.

✨ DTV Visa (Thailand Workation) Update ✨

• 7 September: Applied at the Thai Embassy in Frankfurt

• 15 September: Embassy requested additional documents

• They asked for a professional portfolio as part of the process

Sharing this in case it helps others — be prepared that proof of professional activity (like a portfolio) may be requested.

Feeling extra lucky because my flight is already booked for 1 October ✈️🇹🇭

DTV Application Status – Need Advice

Hi everyone,

I applied for my DTV at the Thai Embassy in Frankfurt on September 7.

• Sept 9: Application showed as pending approval.

• Sept 15: They asked me to submit additional documents (digital portfolio).

• Since then, the status is back to pending approval.

Here’s my concern: I already booked my flight back to Thailand for October 1 and I’m worried the approval won’t come through before departure.

👉 Has anyone here experienced something similar?

👉 Any advice what I should do? Will calling the embassy help, or is it just a matter of waiting?

Thanks a lot in advance! 🙏

Just got approved about an hour ago! 🥳

From Canada 🇨🇦, workcation

Timeline goes like this:

Sept 7th - Applied

Sept 17th - Received an email saying they will process my application in October for some reason

Sept 18th - They sent an email to my boss asking for employment confirmation

Sept 23rd - DTV approved

I still don’t understand why they told me they were going to process the application in October just to approve it 5 days later but hey i’m not gonna complain that’s for sure 😂🙏
