Hi guys, anyone applied for the dtv at the Thai embassy in Madrid? Just wondering the timeframe for an potental approval. Brgds

Question for anyone who applied in HCMC (online), how many business days did it take? Did you travel to Vietnam on a one way and but a ticket back once you were approved?

I’m in TH now and want to apply in Vietnam in January. Looking at flights but not sure whether to book a one-way or return and if return, for how long.

TIA 🙏🏼🙏🏼

Hello everyone! I submitted my DTV application online in Ho Chi Minh City on November 2nd. The status changed to "Document Check" on November 4th, then to "Pending Approval" on November 5th. Since then, there have been no updates.

Has anyone else who applied online around November 2nd received any updates or approvals? Just trying to gauge the current processing times.

Looking forward to hearing about your experiences!

Well just submitted my application,.time to wait....the fee was 650 CAD from the Vancouver Consulate

Approved in JAKARTA

Processing time: +3 working days. Walk in Mon-Thu till 11:30AM. CASH ONLY.

Provided:

* last 3 bank statements (monthly) which only the last one had over 500k THB (highlighted balances each month)

* screenshot of current balance which got rejected on spot

* single medical appointment at orthopedic clinic (hospital) in Bangkok (printed gmail with hospital images)

On Monday there were ~45 queuing tickets issued. At 11:30 the calling number was 35. Tried to collect on Wednesday - rejected and told must come Thursday afternoon (despite the visa date says it was issued on Monday). Collection day had queue around 15 people at 13:20. But moved fast, within 20 minutes. On Monday there was a German guy who got turned on spot as he didn't bring some translated documents (asked to come again). I think this embassy is getting busier as it's popularity is spreading fast.

Just had a ridiculous experience with the Thai embassy in Prauge. They only allow to submit an application electronicly and say it will take them 30-45 days to process.

Hello, has anyone used an agent to get a police clearance certificate instead of going to Bangkok as I live in Southern Thailand and would prefer not making a trip if possible. 🤔 If so, was the process quick and easy 🤔 thanks 😁

Hi everyone.

Don’t know if I’m just being paranoid, but I always do my 90 day report online and haven’t had an issue for a long time doing it this way. But I recently submitted it online and it’s just been saying pending since the 24th of July. Today is the 3rd of August(one day before my report is due), so that makes it 10 days since I submitted. Do I go in to immigration and sort it out or do I just wait a bit longer?

Thanks

Hello Everyone, thanks in advance.

Does anyone have recent experience renewing their USA passport from within Thailand? If so, how long does it take lately? 🙏

Hi. Here's a niche "anything else". Brits. Looking for recent experiences. How many days did it take from submission to receipt in the post, for your Arco police check in the UK? Looking for anyone who did it since they went to manual processing. They are currently quoting 20 days plus postal time. Thanks
