Anybody have experience with Thai Embassy in either Kuala Lumpur or Penang?

Will make my application in about two weeks but one is probably better than the other… does Penang (since August) still do walk ins?

I'd like to ask if anyone has got their DTV in one country and added/applied dependants to the DTV from a different country? We've been waiting weeks for the Canberra office in Australia and have flights booked. Their website says ten working days and we called to confirm but gave ourselves an extra few weeks after those ten days to as apply for the dependant visas but STILL don't have the DTV 😭

We need to be out of Australia and thinking of applying in Penang for the dependant visas. Will this be an issue?

I’m planning to apply for DTV in Penang via thaievisa.go.th and would love to hear your experiences. Has anyone applied from there? How did it go? Was the processing fast (5-7 days?) and were there any challenges with documents or Please share your insights – it would help me and others a lot!

DTV approved in Penang, Malaysia 🇲🇾

This has been a battle folks but we did it!!!

First I will say do not plan coming this place it has been classified as the hardest and longest to get approved and the process is so tiring. I arrived here April 29 and the approval went through today May 29 so total of 30 days wild. I went with an agency which be honest was good idea cause they literally helped call the embassy and push my interview due to Penang can’t go the embassy anymore they have to request for interview. I have 3 weeks of them requesting my 3 months documents in a row ridiculous honestly but in the end it was approved. Please do research and go somewhere else they have a 50% chance here if you get approved or not.

Hey guys,

After my visa application got cancelled, I don't have any other option except to try applying again. But at the same time, I'm running out of time on my Vietnamese visa — I’ll have to leave the country by tomorrow at the latest.

Which embassy should I choose between Penang and Jakarta?

These would be the best options for me because my country doesn't require a visa for up to 30 days.

Thanks for your help!

Im considering going to Penang to apply for my DTV. I have a friend there that can house me for a while during the process. Has anyone had any issues with applying in Penang as well as traveling by land?

Looking to go to Hanoi or Penang to complete my DTV. Anyone know the current days to approve at either? I feel like my file is complete as a remote worker.

Also at either Penang or Hanoi, what are there bank statement requirements ?

Thank you in advance.
