Hmmmm looks like the paper visa’s are indeed a thing… arrived at BKK and yes they did ask for it even though it says it’s E-Visa!!!!!

Hi all, from my research here I believe the DTV visa once approved gets activated in 2 ways -

1. You receive ur approved DTV e-visa via e-mail. Carrying this document you fly in to Thailand show this e-visa along with the regular docs TDAC and they will stamp us with the DTV 5 year?

2. You submit your passport to a Thai embassy outside the country and once approved get it stamped there too ??

I’m very confused how option 2 works.

Does it still require approved DTV e-visa via email prior to that ? I see in posts people say they submitted their passport at the embassy and received it back in a few days with the DTV stamp?

New Passport DVT transfer.

After getting my new passport I wasn't quite sure how it would work transferring the visa over.

I flew out of Suvarnabhumi and as I came down the escalator was directed to the new electronic gates. I explained i would need a stamp in my passport and they still pointed at the gates. Ignoring this i went and joined the line for a human immigration officer.

Once I explained that I had a new passport and would need a stamp, I was escorted to a desk at the back where they transfered the stamp coming in previously and the new exit stamp into my new passport 🥳🥳🥳. No questions, no issues, no problems. They advised to bring both passports when I next enter 👍

Hello! I have a few questions regarding a 30-day extension. Apologies if this has already been asked.

My mom arrived on 29 June 2025 with a 60-day visa.

* E-visa shows expiry on 24 Aug 2025

* Passport stamp shows expiry on 27 Aug 2025

I submitted everything on the VFS e-extension portal, but the earliest appointment I could get is 25 Aug 2025.

Wondering -

1. Which date should I follow as the actual expiry?

2. If it’s 24 Aug, will going on 25 Aug be considered a 1-day overstay?

3. Or should I just go to Chaengwattana immigration and do it in person instead?

Thank you so much for your advice ka 🙏

When a visa is approved via Thai consulate in USA, does consulate mail anything hard copy to me or is it all electronic? TIA

Hi is it better to obtain a visa in Thailand or in South africa before coming that side

Guys I was send an email from Thai embassy regarding my e-visa for additional documents for previous travel history and I haven’t travelled out of my country before so I sent a letter do you think my visa will be accepted since I haven’t traveled out before

Hi!

Hoping to get clarity and some help from all.

Just got my final approval document for thr LTR Wealthy Pensioner. Yay!

It was my understanding that I would next have to get a stamp issued in my passport. I live in

NYC.

Called NYC embassy twice-of course 2 different answers. They are now telling me i need to apply for the e-visa. Once that’s done i will get another document that i am supposed to take with me upon my next arrival in Thailand to get the stamp in my passport.

I litetally just got back and plan on moving permanently Oct 1. The issuance is valid for 60 days so does that mean i have to fly to Thailand to get the stamp, come back, them move on Oct 1?? Ugh. Or would the e-visa document give me a new timeline?

Any info greatly appreciated

Thx all.

Hello. everyone.

I’m currently in Hanoi to apply for the Workation DTV.

I applied for the e-Visa on Monday the 28th, but the status is still stuck on “Pending Document Check”

For your reference, our previous visa was officially canceled as of today. Could that be the reason for the delay?

The lack of progress is making me anxious — I really need to return to Thailand soon.

Has anyone had a similar experience?

Hi everyone,

I’m applying for the DTV visa from Vietnam (I’m German).

I read on the Thai consulate website that e-Visa applicants no longer need to go to the embassy in person, but I’m still a bit confused.

📌 After submitting my application online, do I need to visit the Thai Embassy/Consulate in Ho Chi Minh at any point?

Or will everything be done online and I just wait for the confirmation email?

If anyone here has applied from Vietnam, I’d really appreciate hearing your experience. 🙏
