How long generally does it take to get an O-A visa from the thai embassy in London?

I have a couple of questions related to obtaining a 3months Non-Imm.O(marriage visa) in Thai Embassy in Vientiane.

Firstly, after applying through evisa sytem being in Vientiane, will I still need any official applications in paper as it was before to submit to thai Embassy in Vient.,or not?

Secondly, should I make the payment of 2000baht for the visa through the Thai Embassy in Vientiane before applying through evisa and attach that payment to the official evisa application?

Thirdly, How long(how many days) usually it takes for embassy to issue that visa if everything is in order and accepted by the immigration in Thailand?

Fourthly, is the any financial requirement (how many thousands baht) should an applicant has in his Thai banking account ,if any?); and,if this financial proof should be issued by the thai bank or it is enough to attach the copy of the bank book to evisa application?

Furtheremore, I live in Thailand for many years on Non-Imm O visa(marriage visa), but it will be the 1st time when I need to go to Laos to apply for this type of visa using eVisa system,and this is why I ask so many questions.

Kindly let me know with all detailed and current requiremnts.

Thank you so much for any piece of inf.

Hi everyone!

I’m planning to apply for the Soft Power DTV visa from the Thailand consulate in Chennai and I had a few questions. I’d really appreciate any help from people who have applied recently:

1. What documents did you submit?

2. How many working days did it take to receive the visa?

3. For the bank statement requirement, do they expect to see personal savings history, or is it okay as long as the account reflects the required balance at the time of submission?

Thanks so much in advance for any guidance or tips!

Hi Everyone,

I applied for SoftPower in Jakarta on 8th of May at 4 pm. I didnt calculate that they have a holiday on Monday and Tuesday. In my application and invitation and my flight says I am flying to Thailand on 15th - which is Thursday after 4 pm.

Do you think there is a chance my visa is going to be accepted and issue by that time?

Thank you!

Hello everyone.

Does anybody have a first hand experience with applying for Non-O married to Thai visa through EVISA in the nearby country? I was considering Ho Chi Minh or Kuala Lumpur. Does it really take now 5-7 working days as stated on their website? Or is it maximum consideration time? Before when applying in person i got it next day. Thank you for sharing.

[My Experience Getting the DTV in Paris – April 15 to May 7, 2025]

Hi everyone!

I’d like to share my full experience applying for and receiving the Thailand Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) via the Royal Thai Embassy in Paris. I hope this helps those of you who are preparing your applications. Please read my posts carefully before asking the questions.

1. Application Submission:

I submitted my application online on April 15, 2025, via the official Thai e-visa portal. Paris is the only processing option, since I’m currently based in France. I am holding an Asian passport (so I am a foreigner). I am using Workstation type.

2. Initial Review & Document Upload:

Shortly after submitting, I received confirmation that my application was under review. A few days later, I was contacted by the embassy via email and asked to submit an additional document. I uploaded the revised document promptly via the same portal. So, to sum up, I uploaded what the embassy is asking for:

* Document indicating current location (Residence permit)

* Financial evidence: an amount of no less than 500,000 THB (bank statements), using only 1 account

* Latest payslip

* Employment certificate

* My activities explanation

3. Processing Time:

From submission to final approval, the whole process took 22 days.

* Application submitted: April 15

* Additional document requested & submitted: April 22

* Status changed to “Pending Approval”: May 5

* Visa approved and issued: May 7

I’m really excited to have received my visa and to begin this next chapter in Thailand.

Hope this helps, and good luck to everyone applying!

Hi everyone,

I’m planning to apply for the DTV while I’m in Malaysia, at the Thai Embassy in Kuala Lumpur. I will include all the required documents in my application.

However, I can’t stay in Kuala Lumpur for more than 10 days, as I need to return to Bangkok to take care of my cat.

Do you think 10 days is enough for the visa to be processed?

Also, should I apply online through the thaievisa.go.th platform, or directly at the embassy in KL?

Thanks a lot for your help!

UPDATE: Just approved May 9!!! Thank you every one

I applied in Hanoi 10 days ago but it still hasn't been approved. Is there anyone else waiting in Hanoi like me? Is it taking so long for the visa to be approved because my expected arrival date is next month? Or is it because I apply my stay to 5 months?

Hi,

I applied for DTV visa on April 28th in Hanoi. On April 29th I got asked to provide additional documents twice, after that status change to Pending Approval. Then, there were 3-day holidays in Vietnam. Today is 7th of May. I am flying to Thailand on 9th of May. Do I have a hope that my visa will be accepted and delivered before that?

Thank you🙏🏼🥹🤞🏼

Hello, I applied for DTV visa on 02.05.2025. I filled out all the necessary documents. Today is the 6th day. I applied to Ankara embassy. My flight ticket is at 20.05. Will it be ready by this date? If not, do I need to contact the consulate? How can I address them? What should I write? Can you please support me so that they can help me?
