Noticed a pattern in speed of application processing (at least in London), it appears applications with the earliest travel dates are prioritised.

Got my DTV today via London. Thought I would share details.

Applied online on Monday at 18.19 with

Passport, Photo

Proof of funds - current account, Sept statement only.

Letter from employer confirming employment, salary, and able to work remotely.

Flight dates & number only

Hotel name, with location only

Paid visa fee

Tuesday at 16.55 got email asking to upload employment contract. Did this pretty immediately. Clear instructions on email on how to do this.

Today (Thurs) at 19.52 approval email with visa attached.

It was very straight forward🙂

Hello,

Can someone please tell me how to apply from a consulate that is not your home one?

I am in thailand right now but wish to go to Hanoi (heard its the best closeby) to apply for DTV.

What is the process in doing this?

My home one is actually UK

DTV visa approved - my experience:

Currently in the UK so I applied via the e-visa website, so the UK Thai consulate handled everything.

Couple of interesting points to mention:

- it only took 4 days to approve

- the 500k was only transferred to my UK bank account a week before I applied. I only provided my august 2024 bank statement - they didn't ask for anything else

- part of that 500k was a small loan from my parents. When they transferred the money to my bank account they put "loan" as the reference. This didn't cause any issues or raise any questions.

- I applied via the medical tourism route. I asked my dentist to write me a letter detailing a couple of appointments that I have during September and next year.

Overall, I would say that my experience of applying for the DTV was incredibly easy and straightforward. Very quick and no questions asked.

Happy to answer any questions relating to my specific experience.

Does anyone know if the Hull (UK) consulate is closed or are they just not taking phone calls.

Does anyone know if in UK the Embassy in Hull do 90 day pre retirement Visa

Thanks

I got my Letter from the UK Consul to ask to extend my Visa at Immigration

Gentlemen having major problems trying to apply for a Non O 90 day multi entry visa online it doesn’t seem to show the non O on list any advice greatly appreciated

Been looking at the Thailand UK consulate website, there doesn't appear to be any option for a multi entry Non-O 90 day visa. Please advise.
