Hi. In which country near Thailand is it easiest and fastest to apply for a DTV visa

A question. Came to Thailand on 14 Oct. 2025. Leaving Thailand on 12 Jan 2026 and then applying for DTV or METV and go to Thailand, then I can only enter Thailand 1 more time in 2026. ?

Hello I m 70 year old with a family a son and partner for 21 years and I ve applied for a 90 day tourist visa at London Thai embassy on 25-11-25 it’s just saying processing from the date above to the present day 06-12-25 I m getting worried I fly 26-12-25 this happened to me before and they didn t issue the visa. Until I had already entered the country for a week and just had my passport stamped for 60 days meaning I had to fly out and back help no one answers the London embassy kind regards John

My spouse and I (unmarried) are applying for the dtv next month. My spouse is the owner of the company we operate and I am the agent. I do not receive a “salary” as we primarily use one account. The company is real estate related and we have many contracts from previous clients through it. I do all of the admin. We will be applying in the US through the Washington embassy. I’m just trying to figure out what exactly we will need to submit and put together for next month so that we can be prepared. Does anyone have any advice/experience on how to make this a smooth process?

If I apply and get accepted do they have to know what date I will arrive in Thailand to collect the Visa? Can I enter several months later after submittal? Not sure when I will re-enter but I would like to secure this visa in the event things change. Thank you

The Royal Thai Embassy in London only states that you must show financial evidence of at least £11,000 (≈ 500,000 THB), for example via bank statements or a sponsorship letter. It does not specify how long that money must have been in your account. Anyone from the Uk been turned down for not having it in there for less than 3 months?

Metv applied pending aproval uploaded additinal documents ... fly 15th ... but im thinking thjs may not come back and i lose flight applied from london ten days ago additional dicuments loaded 2 days after ?

For business owners who applied for DTV:

Is it true that the employment contract + the company's registration have to be "authenticated by the embassy of the country where the company is located"?

I found this info in some official PDF checklist, but consulates/embassies never mention it. Wanted to know before I start the application.

I’m currently in Thailand on a DT visa, and my wife is here on a tourist visa. Can I apply for her DT visa on my behalf, or is there another way for her to get a long-term visa? Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated.

Hello, I have a question regarding applying for a visa to another country while holding a Thai ED Visa.

I will have been in Thailand for 6 months on my ED Visa, and I have all my documents ready. Can I apply for a Japan visa from Thailand under these circumstances?
