Hello everyone,

My American fiance and I vacationed in Thailand and fell in love. She wants to learn to cook and I want to learn Muay Thai. We went to Hanoi to apply for the DTV visa and we were both denied within 48 hours with no explanation, they refused to answer any questions, and refused to even meet with us at the embassy in person.

Can anyone offer any advice? We are currently planning on returning to the US in June to re-apply. We're currently on the METV.

Planning to get a DTV to learn Thai cooking and Muay Thai - I am in UK, British passport and then planning on getting spouse and 2xchildren in under my visa….am getting mixed answers regarding how much will need to show in savings. Some say only DTV applicant need £11k but others saying it’s per person (even though they’ll be dependents) - can anyone confirm either way?

Does the start of DTV visa have to start from the date of training or it can start from whenever I include on the application? For example, there is a program I am interested in starting in October but I want to be in Thailand from June. How would that work?

DTV Cooking - Approved in Vientiane Laos!

Timeline:

* Landed April 8 Wednesday afternoon, uploaded final docs (visa stamp in passport and visa) and submitted online

* April 9 Thursday - Went to Vientiane Laos embassy at 9am, paid 10,000 THB in person

* April 10 Friday - Nothing

* Songkran Holiday 13 Monday to 15 Wednesday

* 15 Wednesday - Got an email for interview

* 22 Wednesday 10am - Interview. Where is your cooking school? Where will you stay nearby the school (show hotel booking, can book and cancel if needed)? Open your banking app -- BE AWARE they scroll through it and click on it themselves, so no hiding anything or deceit. What will do you after your course is finished (take another course)?

* 22 Wednesday 12pm - DTV sent in my email! Printed out at my guesthouse

* 23 Thursday - Flight to Don Mueng Airport, showed them the DTV paper, I looked in my passport to make sure they stamp correctly. Took less than 30 seconds with the immigration agent (go to one with a man, they go fast and don't ask questions).

Cooking course: Bangkok Thai Cooking Academy They were soooo helpful, fast, responsive. If you get rejected for DTV, they give partial refund.

Agent: Yes, I did use an agent. I used an agent that has a full money-back guarantee, INCLUDING the Visa fee. Message me for their details.

Hi! What is the current processing time in Laos? Is there a way to find out before applying? We can delay our exit out of Laos, but not by weeks so I am wondering if it makes sense to apply now.
