Visa approved 😃

So I’ve just finished the interview at the Thai embassy in the Netherlands. I applied for the dtv muy Thai for 6 months. From October to April I had an ED visa

Documents I’ve sent them

-bank statement for over 6 months

-proof of ownership of my house

-a letter from the Dutch tax department

-energy bill

-phone bill

They then asked me to provide all my passport pages so I sent them

So today the interview. I’ve printed all these documents but he told me he did not need them.

He asked me what kind of work I do. I told him I don’t work and I’m living from my savings. The money comes from an inheritance So he asked from who the money came.

He asked me where the gym was that I will do the course. How many hours I will train en how many days. He also asked me me what I’m doing in the time I’m not training so I told him that I’m learning kitesurfing, following private Thai class and that I like to spend time with my friends. I told him I’ve been coming to thailand for 10 years for holiday.

And then he said yes I saw your were studying Thai how is your Thai. So I told him nit noi:p that I know some words but I find it difficult to put them in a correct sentence.

So he asked me how many hours I had Thai class. Told him the days and times

He then made the comment that I really like thailand so I told him yes 🙂 and he said that they do many of these interviews to decide if the course matches up with this visa because it is a long term visa he said

I will get an awnser in the coming days so I willl update this post then. Fingers crossed 🤞

Hi all. So I have a friend who used an agent to apply for his evisa. They flagged his application lately and asked him to attend a physical interview , and the agent keeps on saying he should wait . Has anyone ever encountered such a situation, he had made flight reservations for next week. Is it possible that he’ll still get the visa maybe next week latest? Thank you all .

I’ve applied for the dtv muy Thai In the Netherlands. I had a ed visa before and now they want an interview.

What do you think they will ask? Bit nervous about this

hello my grandson, after submitting his visa application at the Thai Embassy in Vientiane, Laos, was called for an interview today from 10am to 10:30am for validation. Unfortunately he missed his flight... How can we contact the embassy We do not find on the website the possibility to leave a message, the phone numbers found on the internet do not respond and the email sent still found on the internet are not correct.

Can he run without an appointment? Thank you in advance for your help

Bonjour mon petit-fils, après avoir déposé sa demande de visa à l'ambassade de Thaïlande à Vientiane (Laos) était convoqué à un entretien aujourd'hui de 10h à 10h30 pour validation. Hélas, il a raté son vol... Comment pouvons nous contacter l'ambassade. Nous ne trouvons pas sur le site internet de possibilité de laisser un message, les numéros de téléphone trouvé sur internet ne répondent pas et l'envoi d'email trouvée toujours sur internet ne sont pas correctes.

Peut il se présenter sans avoir de rendez-vous ? Merci d'avance pour votre aide

DTV approved from Yangon.

Along with passport and recent photo, I submitted only a screenshot of my bank balance and my 2 year remote work contract from a company in Myanmar.

emailed to come in for interview 4 days later.

I was way over prepared for the interview with many months of bank statements, visa history in Myanmar, photos of me at work, website, copies of my degrees....

Interview lasted about 3 minutes. They had about 20 people report at the same time and you had to take a queue number and wait. They asked me how long I would be in Thailand, (I'm not sure, but at least 90 days) and would I do any work in Thailand other than remote work (No). That was it.

Approval notice within the hour.

It was the same day the notice came from Yangon that they were not going to issue any further tourist visas. The company that my contract is from anticipates having trouble in the future with business visa as well. So this post maybe isn't that useful for this group. I couldn't find much info about applying in Yangon when I was researching in anticipation of my application, so I thought I would just record my experience.

1st April: Submitted the docs

2nd April: Paid the visa fee (Pending Document Check)

3rd April: Uploaded my entry stamp (Pending Document Check)

4th April: Pending Approval

5th April: Request Interview

8th April: Interviewed and Approved

No additional documents needed.

Thanks to the group members for the guidance.

Loc: Vientiane, Laos

I applied for DTV from Pakistan. I was called in for an interview on the 19th of March. Overall, the interview went well. Initially, the visa officer asked to provide employment evidence attested from the Minitry of Foreign Affairs, where I replied that it's not possible as I work with a US registered company and MOFA will not be able to attest to it. After that he asked questions about my employer, my intent to stay in Thailand, and my previous travel history. Everything was honestly communicated to him with confidence also with the fact that I have no travel history in the past and this is my first time travelling to any foreign country.

What is the probability of a visa to be approved? How much days should it take more to hear back ?

Incase if approved , what would be the next steps.

Any useful information and insights would be highly appreciated.

Thanks 🙏

DTV Visa from Pakistan 🇵🇰 (Workcation)

🌸 Almost Approved 🌸

Had my interview today for DTV in Islamabad. The officer asked me normal questions about what I do, how much I earn.

Then said your bank documents for the 500,000 Baht are not attested. How can I know the authenticity/ genuineness of these documents?

I told him it’s possible to call the bank. (My statements were from Wise).

He said you’ll need to get the statements notarized and then apostilled from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Pakistan and then I can scan them in to the evisa portal.

He also offered me the multi entry visa instead that he can approve today. I said no, I’d like the DTV.

From talking to him it felt like all my documents are in order. He was also very helpful in answering all my questions.

I make a good amount of money and my employment is easily verifiable so it was a smooth Q&A nothing too crazy.

Overall it was a positive experience.

I’ll update on if I get the visa once I’ve submitted the apostilled documents.

It’s a hassle to do this but keeping in mind the high number of fake docs people submit, I guess it’s something necessary they have to do in Pakistan.

I wasn’t aware of this requirement or I would’ve brought the apostilled statements.

For anyone else applying as workcation from Pakistan, make sure you apostille your statements.

He did mention if I had my 500K in a local bank, it might be easier? But I’m not 100% sure.

Best of luck.

Hello everyone,

I have received an email for an interview in Islamabad, Pakistan. What is the purpose of this interview and they haven't asked for any documents in the email. Please share your experience of interviews here.

[Update: They called for an interview this morning, but I am currently out of Laos. If I don’t attend the interview, will it cause any issues? (Just asking.)

For the requested documents, I had submitted my Laos visa and entry stamp.]

At 12:30 PM today, the status changed to 'Processing - Pending Approval,' but now, at 8:30 PM, it is still the same.

My question is, how long does it normally take for the status to change? And at this stage, do they usually call for an interview?
