Hello, I applied strong power DTV visa on March 11 in Ho Chi Minh. I'm programmer who works remotely with foreigner companies. All my documents are fine. They requested additional documents on March 16 and since then the status of my application haven't changed - it's still 'pending documents check'. Have you ever experienced such a delay? Is it normal? Maybe I should go to their office and ask about the progress in person? For now it feels like that my application was lost somewhere in the queue. I Tried to email them also - emails don't pass through. Thanks 🙏

Is there anyone here recently got DTV muay Thai approved in Vientiane Laos?

Hello,

submitted my documents to Issa Compass and everything got reviewed, got my visa « submitted » 23rd February in Hanoi by Issa, right during Tet holidays, how much days should I expect to wait in Vietnam due to the holidays and the reopening only this Monday of the embassy ? Is there any other applicants in Hanoi waiting right now in Hanoi or got any answer ?

DTV Jakarta nightmare: 28 days of "document dripping", status moved BACKWARDS, and CNY holidays starting soon.

Hi everyone,

I need to share my experience because the Thai Embassy in Jakarta is driving me crazy. I've been waiting for 28 days for my DTV (Muay Thai) and the process has been a constant "document dripping" every two weeks.

Here is the step-by-step of this nonsense:

1. Initial Application: I submitted everything required (Gym certificate from Tiger Eye, 500k+ THB in bank, etc.).

2. First Request (2 weeks in): They asked for EVERY single page of my current passport and my detailed bank transactions. I sent it all immediately.

3. Second Request (2 weeks later - Day 27): This is the craziest part. My status was already "Pending Approval", but yesterday they moved it BACKWARDS to "Request More Documents".

4. Current Status: Now they want my OLD PASSPORT (all pages), my 2026 training program, and actual photos of me training to prove I’m a real Muay Thai athlete (luckily I had my old passport with me and photos of my technique).

I’ve provided:

• Full history of my old passport (including a previous Non-B visa and legal exits).

• High-quality photos showing my stance, guard, and interaction with the Kru.

• Proof of funds way over the limit.

I am currently in Bali and my Indonesian visa is expiring. I already paid for an extension here just to wait for Thailand, and now Chinese New Year is next week. I’m terrified they will close the embassy and leave me in limbo for another 10 days after a month of waiting.

Has anyone else experienced this in Jakarta? How can they ask for documents every 2 weeks instead of all at once? Any advice on how to reach a human there?

Thanks.

So I am a Pakistani,working in China. From Feb 8th to 18th I planning to visit Thailand. I booked the hotels and flights, prepared all the necessary documents and applied for visa on 19th of Jan. Next day, they requested me some documents and I uploaded those documents on 21st Jan. Its been so many days and I am still waiting for my visa approval. Did anyone else gone through the same experience? My travel date is just few days away now and no response from them is stressing me out! I have sent them email but got no response.

Hi guys. Why the visa processing takes so long in Vientiane. I have been waiting for the visa for 7 days now (5th business day). Just last year the visas were processed in 1-2 days always. Some even got the visa on the same day of the application. Is this a new change now? Is anyone else stuck waiting for the evisa in Vientiane?

Good day

I applied for my Thai evisa and a day later they wanted more documents which i submitted the final one being on the 14th of January and its still pending approval. 2015 and 2016 it was approved within 3 days, i am worried coz my departured is for the 8th of Feb. Is it still possible for them to approve before this departure date? I dont want to lose my money. Please help. Today the website gave me an error message 😢

Day 43 after application (12 December): Pending document check. 10 days left until my flight. I’m super anxious. Ankara Embassy. Cannot reach them via phone. I emailed them twice so far; on Day 30 and 40. No reply. Any recent info from Ankara?

UPDATE: They approved my visa, late at night. The night before my flight.

Does anyone applied for DTV Spouse Visa in Frankfurt ? First application on 9.12 and than upload two more documents at 21.12 and it’s still on checking the documents. No chance to call them - tried hundred times - no answer on email. Has anyone make the same thing?

One month.

Still Pending.

No email, no request, no feedback.

I’m trying to understand whether this is a normal delay or the calm before a rejection.

If anyone waited this long and got approved, please share — it would help a lot.
