I submitted my DTV under Workcation on 30th April and still “Pending Approval”. As of now, the status still shows “Pending Approval.” Meanwhile, my friends, who applied on the same date, already received their Visa approvals on May 10th. I am beginning to wonder if there might be an issue or delay specific to my application that I may have overlooked. I would greatly appreciate any insights from others who may have experienced a similar situation, or any advice on what steps I could take next.

Hello, what’s the form required to complete now before entering Thailand on tourist visa ?

I’ve noticed applying at other embassies seems to be the norm. I’m curious as to whether we can apply with our home countries embassy while abroad? Do we need to apply with Vietnam just because we’re there? I got mine before my wife as she was unsure which visa she wanted but now we’re here already for some time and need to leave soon and get hers sorted out. So my question is this : why does everyone apply with the embassy of where they are visiting?

Advice pls!

Applied in Vientane 14/5

Paid 14/5

Emailed with interview set for.... 28/5

Anyone else in Vientiane just get shafted?

Is it worth a shot going back in person to the consulate to see if anything can be done?

I've already made bookings hosting my parents for 6 days in Thailand thinking I'd given myself plenty of time from everything I'd read about the Vientiane consulate, and this is... a bit of a clusterf*ck.

I applied for a DTV remote worker visa in Tokyo with a US passport, with all the required documents and prerequisites, and was given a multiple entry tourist visa instead, valid for six months. Do I have to wait for the METV to expire before applying again for the DTV soft power through vietnam?

Hello everyone, I was wondering if anyone had any experience or advice to offer, but I got approved for the DTV recently but my husband’s has not come in yet. Our flight is next week and I was wondering if anyone knew if he could come into Thailand on a tourist visa then get it changed when his gets approved?

If you guys want to check your process or get a quick reply from the Cambodian Embassy in Phnom Penh, I recommend sending them a message through the LINE application (you can find the link on their official website). They respond very quickly there!

Update: DTV approved after 17 business days.

I wanted to share my experience so far with applying in Phnom Pehn for the DTV. I used Issa Compass out of Bangkok to help me.

Application Submitted: April 19

Application went to "Pending" Status: April 21

Application Type: Muay Thai - Cooking

As of this morning, my application is still pending. I haven't been asked to provide further documents. Today is the 14th business day since my application was accepted. I was hoping that I would have the DTV by now, but I wanted to share that it seems to be taking longer in Cambodia. Curious to see if anyone else is here and waiting like me?

Was asked to submit April bank screenshot (Manila) on the 24th at 2pm, submitted it on the same day at 3pm. Just got another email asking for the exact same thing on 25th at 2pm but the portal doesn't have "document request" or anyplace to upload documents this time and instead changed to a yellow "pending approval". Was that 2nd email an error or something?

Hi All. If a payment receipt didnt come through via email (but the status changed online to processing) should I be worried or take any action? Has anybody else had this experience?
