Hey everyone 👋

I posted a few questions here quite a while ago. As it usually goes in groups like this: I got a lot of genuinely helpful and solid replies — and of course a few… very confident ones 😉

Overall though: great group, thanks a lot, especially to those who also reached out privately with useful tips.

That’s why I’m posting this not anonymously. If anyone has follow-up questions, feel free to message me privately — just like I did back then. I didn’t follow every single suggestion, but I did apply several of them.

Quick update on the visa process, as this seems to be relevant for many:

I submitted my application in Hanoi on Thursday at noon and received the approval email about two hours ago.

👉 Thai E-Visa DTV approved.

Important detail: no follow-up questions at all. No additional documents, no back and forth.

The status already changed to “Pending Approval” on Friday, and after that it simply went through.

Timeline wise:

Thursday submission → Friday working day → Monday working day → approved today.

Whether you count Thursday or not — in total it was around 4 working days in Hanoi.

Honestly: super smooth and very easy process.

For full transparency — before any unnecessary comments come up 😉

I did this through an agency.

Total cost: around €500, including visa + agency fee. That’s it.

Four working days later, DTV approved.

Of course, everyone can (and should) decide for themselves whether they want to do everything on their own.

For me personally, those few hundred euros were 100% worth it — saving time, stress, and potentially extra days in the country.

Hope this helps someone 🙌

I made my request 2 times for DTV with a muy Thai school, the first request to Ho Chi Minh was refused (I had returned to Thailand before the answer I did not know...). But I remade my application in Hanoi a few days ago, I have absolutely all the necessary documents and amount, but they still refused....without any explanation... I don't know what to do it's a lot of money for nothing. Do you have any advice?

DTV oil rig work

I work 4 on 4 off ,

What is my best option to get a 5 year dtv visa,

I am about to go back to work in Denmark for 5 weeks then I'll get 3 weeks off this time.

Should I apply in Denmark whilst I do my 5 weeks or apply back when I'm in the UK for 3 weeks.

Is my best bet a mauy Thai visa ?

Any suggestions would be appreciated

Denied dtv visa.I thought business owners would be able to this visa?Very strange.The business is not in Thailand.

Has anyone had this while applying for there DTV. I understood as long as you apply for it outside Thailand once you’ve applied you can in theory travel back into Thailand.

Hey there dear ones,

I like to do my DTV Visa 5 years medical treatment, has anyone done it before and has experience with it? Have some questions about this and would be very happy if we could exchange them.

Greetings with all my love,

Hey ihr Lieben,

Ich mag mein DTV Visa 5 years medical treatment machen, hat das schon jemand gemacht und hat Erfahrung damit? Hätte einige Fragen dazu und würde mich mega freuen, wenn wir uns da austauschen könnten.

Ganz lieben Gruß,

Common Question:

How long do you have to enter the Kingdom after your DTV is approved?

This is directly from the official site.  I’ve seen many people misinformed others by stating they have five years to enter for the first time. You have 90 days.

😃

Hey Everyone,

I applied for DTV a few weeks ago (Thai Embassy Munich) and haven’t received it yet.

I am arriving in Thailand tomorrow!

Which is not a problem for now, since I am just staying for 70 Days and can just use tourist visa + go to immigration for extension after 60 days

(Or maybe get an agency, who does this for me?)

BUT do you know if my DTV application is terminated, when I travel to Thailand without it? Because in the application they asked for my flight and day of arrival😬

That would be very sad to just spend the money for nothing

Thanks for your help!

Just returned to Phuket airport after 1 week holiday to Japan on DTV visa…(UK citizen)

It’s about my 5th re entry

The only thing which changed this time, is that they asked to see the actual Visa on my phone with QR code

No asking of funds or anything like that or more questions this time….

I have DTV visa and own Condo in Bangkok. Is there any agency can help me to open Bank Account.

Thank so much.
