Hello everyone,

I am preparing to apply for the DTV visa and would appreciate your feedback on two points:

👉 1️⃣ Has anyone applied for the DTV visa at the Thai Embassy in Cambodia *recently*?

I am particularly interested in knowing if the processing time is still efficient, considering the current tensions between Cambodia and Thailand.

👉 2️⃣ Has anyone submitted a professional financial portfolio or supporting documents that they translated into English *themselves* (without using a certified translator)?

If so, was this accepted by the embassy in Cambodia?

Thank you very much for your insights — your experience will really help me!

Looking for feedback on those that applied for a Non-O Thai Family in Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh, are there many differences in requirements? Processing time, document uploads, length of visa..

Or would it be better to go to Vientiane, Laos seeing as they offer more convenient options?

Sharing my DTV application process

- Type: Workcation

- Location: Hanoi, Vietnam

- Submitted Documents:

(1) Employment Contract (Remote job), with company stamp

(2) Recommendation Letter from my employer, with company stamp

(3) Company Registration info of my employer

(4) Company Registration Certificate of my employer

(5) Salary Slips for past 6 months, with company stamp

(6) Cover Letter (education background, working experience, responsibilities of current remote role, traveling plan for different provinces in Thailand), with my signature

(7) Bank Statement in English (balance must be more than 500,000 THB)

(8) Passport Bio Page (scanned version), better to scan both bio page and the other empty page together

(9) Arrival stamp page (scanned version), better to scan both pages of the passport including arrival stamp page and the other page together

(10) Recent passport size photo

- Submitted on 31st May 2025 (Saturday)

- Changed status from “Pending Document Check” to “Pending Approval” on 2nd June 2025 (Monday)

- Got Visa Approval on 4th June 2025

Total processing time = 2 Business Days

*Please ensure that all required documents are thoroughly prepared before submission. There is no need to rush the process, as the embassy does not strictly count processing days. Instead, they aim to issue a decision as quickly as possible once a complete and well-organized application is received. Including any additional documents that may support your case can also help facilitate a faster approval.*

So I applied at the London embassy almost a month ago. They asked for more information about my business which I sent back. Then a few days later they asked for another recent photo of me. And since then…silence. It’s been over two weeks now.

My flight is in two weeks time and my husband also still has to apply for the spouse visa, does anyone think there is any point in trying to call the embassy and check progress?

📢 Question About DTV Visa Application at the Thai Consulate in Hanoi 🇹🇭🇻🇳

Hi everyone! I’m looking for updated information regarding the DTV visa application at the Thai Consulate in Hanoi.

1️⃣ Does the 500,000 THB need to be in my bank account for at least three months prior to applying, or are there different minimum requirements?

2️⃣ What is the processing time for the visa once all documents are submitted?

If anyone has recently applied or has firsthand experience with the process in Hanoi, I’d really appreciate your insights! 🙏

Thanks in advance

How long is the processing time for the e-VISA through Kathmandu? The information on their website is not updated since when they were still using VFS Global Center, so I am seeking more up to date info from those who have recently applied.

Update on DTV application online through Sydney Embassy. I applied using soft power with this course [members only]/ For proof of address I gave my drivers licence and a phone bill. Four months of bank statements. Did not need to show proof of flight and accom. Processing time was 14 days, approval email came through on a Saturday. Paid with a Thai credit card, as my Australian credit card rejected the transaction due to fraud monitoring.
