London embassy just said my husband has to be a UK resident to apply for the DTV. Nowhere on the Thai evisa website does it say you have to apply from your country of residence. I've emailed them back saying this and that there is countless evidence of people applying with hotel bookings, and asking for more confirmation. Did anyone else get a response like this?

Thank you

Has anyone applied DTV from the UK? How long does it take to get approval from there?

Thanks in advance!

I've been applying from the UK for a Muay Thai DTV and have been asked to go to the Embassy for an interview. Has anyone had this experience? All my documents are in place and everything was sent to them as requested.

Looking to apply via soft power Muay Thai (no income but have the proof of funds needed) - I'm going back to the UK from Bangkok for 3 weeks as it's my home country, so might aswell apply for the DTV from there, as I've only seen good things about applying with the London embassy on this group.

Does anyone have any tips on what to include apart from the standard proof of 500k, UK address, recent photo, muay Thai course registration and proof? Do they ask for any more than this as extra docs? Anyone had a tough time getting it from the UK?

(Arrived in BKK at the end of Dec and used 1 visa exemption and just extended it a few weeks ago)

I've been asked for additional documents for the DTV by the UK embassy. It might be difficult to provide exactly what they've asked for. Has anyone been in a similar situation and been able to communicate with them by email? I'd be grateful to know the address if that was the case.

Visa approved - got the email at midnight.

Approval time - 2 days lol

UK embassy

Soft power - tiger eye. I used ilovepdf to merge the files into 1 pdf.

3 months bank statement

2 hours after i paid they asked for proof of flights and a better passport photo. I booked a fight and sent the pdf. I sent a selfie against a white wall and gf used an app to make the background white.

When i started my application I must have already had a try in Jan because there was a pending application from the 28th of Jan. Perhaps they approved my application faster as they might have thought in was waiting almost 1 month.

Thanks for all your help x

See you in Siam!
