Good morning,

I remember hearing the non-imm B visa application process had gone online. I cannot see it on the Thai immigration bureau website. Does anyone know if this happened, please?

If so, what does it entail now, as obviously we would still have to leave the country if we are currently in Thailand?

I would imagine I would still have to go to the Thai consulate in Penang (or similar office). This was formerly an expensive 4 night minimum stay to lodge and receive a visa.

Also, it appears to apply for the Visa, we must be outside the country. Given that it takes 2 weeks to process the Visa, that implies that implies we must stay outside the country for 2 weeks.

Hello, when I will do my DTV visa online, do I need to go to the embassy to sign something or to meet someone ?

Or it is full online and I will receive everything online ?

Thank you in advance

Can I expect to get approval email on weekends and government holidays?

Hey guys what is the best embassy for the DTV (quickest turn around) I have the requirements. I have a condo in Thailand so I don’t want to be paying rent while I’m waiting outside the country for my visa to be accepted.

I’ve been told kuala lumpa/vietnam are a quick turn around.

Thanks in advance people 🫡🤝

Quick DTV Entry Update: 🇵🇰🇹🇭

This was my second entry to Thailand on the DTV. I had entered Thailand from Bali on my first entry and it was a breeze. Just got asked a Q about accomodation.

Today I was entering from Pakistan. And it was even smoother. I expected a lot of Qs at Bangkok airport. Surprisingly, no Qs asked. Just stamped in for 6 months.

There were a few Qs leaving Pakistan (by Pakistani Passport Control) but mainly because they'd never seen a DTV before 😁

So happy with the whole process 🎉

PS: I filled out the TDAC while still on runway so it saved a BUNCH of time. Also, ZERO waiting time in line for passport control. They have so many counters now.

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!
