Interview request

Interview work cation

I just got an email from the London Thai Embassy confirming an “interview appointment” for tomorrow between 10–11am, but the email doesn’t say if it’s online or if I need to go in person.

I’m based in Jersey so London is the nearest embassy for me, but it’s not really possible for me to travel there tomorrow (I only just got back from a London trip yesterday!).

Does anyone know if these interviews are normally done online/video call, or if you have to physically attend the embassy? There is no other info!

I’m panicking now

Hi,

Could anyone recommend what to do in this situation? I applied for an DTV visa through Ankara. All my documents were accepted, then I was informed that I needed to attend an interview and that I would receive a link for it. However, no link was ever sent, and in the end I received a refusal stating that I had not completed the interview. What should I do?

Has everyone had to do an interview? Interested about Soft power?

Just an update on my fiancés K-1 visa journey….Today was her Visa interview in Bangkok. She was asked 7-8 questions, nothing personal and was granted a Visa which should come in the mail in about 5-10 days….Happy day !!!

Hello guys, I want to ask few questions.

Question 1:

Has anyone applied for a DTV Dependent Visa in Vientiane in August and had an in-person interview?

Question 2:

If you had a dependent visa interview, how did you show mobile banking proof when the financial support is via sponsor letter?

Hi everyone,

I’m applying for a DTV visa in Vientiane (Laos). After my status changed to “Pending Approval,” I received an email with an interview appointment asking me to bring original documents and noting they may review my online banking.

Is this normal in Vientiane? How did it go for you in practice?

* Did PDF bank statements (3–6 months) + a current balance confirmation suffice, or did they actually ask you to log into your banking app?

* If you had to log in, was showing the balance and a few recent incoming payments enough—without scrolling through the full history?

* Anything else they asked about?

Context: I’m self-employed (sole proprietor), working 100% remotely (SEO, Google Ads, analytics, AI) for clients in EU. I’ve prepared:

• a self-employment statement + client confirmation letters

• CEIDG extract

• bank statements (several months) + invoices matching inflows

• payment confirmation and all originals

Thanks in advance for sharing experiences (no sensitive info needed).

I received this email today. I had applied on August 6, and later submitted the additional documents requested on August 14. Today, I had my interview at the embassy, where I was told to wait for one week. However, when I got home and checked my email, I was surprised to find this message.

Could you please guide me on the next steps? Do I need to visit the embassy again to have the visa sticker placed on my passport, or is this email sufficient? Also, should I keep this document with me for the next five years?

Hello everyone i submit my all documents 10 day ago than they required additional document again I submit now they invite me for interview. I apply DTV visa from Malaysia Kualalampur anyone can help me where I go for interview It is Online or I want to go embassy? what kind of document they again ask for interview please help me. 

So im in vientiane, Laos. Been here since 9th. Paid money 14th....they just gave us an interview date of 1st August FFS.

This is ridiculous.

Update - they kindly moved it forwards for me following a polite request. Looks like il be out of here 9 days from payment so I take back my above comments 😂 had a whale of a time here in Laos. If you bothered to learn any Thai in Thailand youl love it too as they speak issan and a lot of Thai and youl be able to communicate with and get to know some wonderful locals.

I got approved yesterday afternoon in Vientiane 🇱🇦, filled out TDAC at Wattay international airport, entered Thailand through Suvannabhumi airport last night, no questions asked, officer just scanned the QR on my e-visa on my phone, he was even smiling (must be in a good mood 🤭)

I checked the stamp, confirmed it was for 6 months

I was on Non-Ed visa, cancelled it at the immigration before I left for Laos
