How long does it usually take to get a dtv e-visa? And I have a teenager also. He won’t be working of course, can he tag along on a regular tourist visa? We are not staying more than 60 days. I am planning a workation during our next visit, and want to do things by the book.

Online e-visa DTV is asking for a flight number, the problem is I don't know when I will receive the visa then I will re-enter. In that case, what should I write in that space?

Apologies in advance if redundant, but when you need to show the 500k THB for the DTV e-visa, does that need to be in a Thai bank account or, are you showing the equivalent amount in a US bank account for example? Thank you.

Hello, I am Korean I entered Ho Chi Minh from Thailand yesterday and applied for dtv e-visa If anyone has applied for an electronic visa to Thailand from Ho Chi Minh City, please let me know Approximately how long does it take for the visa to be approved??

Can I leave Cambodia after applying DTV evisa before granting it?

Does anyone know of a process of moving DTV e-visa to a new passport? Can it be done in Thailand or you need to go back to consulate where you received the DTV?

I understand that if you apply for the DTV e-Visa online, the consulate in charge can request further documents. In my case, the consulate does not answer questions prior to applying.

Has anyone experienced that they declined your online application and kept the visa fee without a chance to change the category e.g. from medical to soft power or remote work?

I would like to tell you my experience out of the Los Angeles embassy. I just received my DTV e-visa today on Oct 30, 2024. I first applied as a remote worker on September 11, 2024. On September 27, 2024 I received an email that said this: "Your visa application has been rejected. Please reapply visa, the name on the application is incorrect." I am certain it was correct, so I was kind of angry. I advise everyone to take screen shots of every page as you fill out the application and double and triple check it and make sure it is correct. On October 3, 2024 I paid another $400 and applied again making absolutely sure it was correct. On October 4, I got an email requesting further documentation. They wanted my most recent tax return and business registration of the company. The tax return was no problem, but the business registration was a problem because I am not a business owner, I am an employee! A few days later, I sent them my tax return and a letter from my employer stating that I am permitted to work as a remote worker. I did not send the business registration because I didn't have access to that as an employee. A week later I got another request for a business registration even though I explained I am not the business owner. Luckily, I was able to obtain a seller's permit from the California State Board of Equalization from my employer and sent it off to them. A few days later I received my DTV. If you are applying for this visa as a remote worker employee, make sure you have access to a business registration of your employer or you will probably waste $400. Once again, also make sure to enter all the information on your application correctly, or that will cost you another $400 also.

Hi, does anyone have experience applying for a DTV e-visa via embassies in China? I wanna know how strict they are on foreigners who don't live in China. And how long the visa takes?
