Question if anyone has experience about applying for a DTV using an agent through the soft power option. As some reports coming back for people extending DTV at immigration in Thailand are being asked to provide documents proving original application. Does anyone have information specific to Chiang Mai immigration or do you think soft power via agent will mean leaving Thailand every 6 months. Thanks

Did anybody apply for a DTV in German? I was thinking of applying in Munich, would love to hear experience 🙏

I want to thank everyone for sharing their experiences on here. However if possible if you could include the embassy, papers required and passport or place of residence it would really help a lot of people figure this out as I see a wide variety of requirements for the very same visa at different embassies.

Let me know if you have questions.

Anybody tried to go to Vietnam or Cambodia and apply for dtv online while there? Also anyone with dtv as a free lance investment trader? Tia..

I've submitted my DTV application on 29th OCT and got pending approval on 30th OCT. Now, it's been two weeks. I applied at Phenom Penh Thai Embassy Cambodia. Has anyone experienced how long it takes although it says 10 working days. I'm worried and waiting. 🙁

Hi everyone,

Could anyone clarify how far in advance we’re allowed to apply for the DTV? For exxample, if I plan to arrive in Thailand in March 2025, would it be possible to submit the application as early as December 2024?

Has anyone had experience with this through the Hanoi Embassy? Thank you for your help!

It's probably still early days yet, but just so we know for sure through empirical evidence, has anyone already entered, exited and re-entered Thailand on their DTV and gotten a new 180-day stamp on their 2nd entry?

I did a search for "reenter" and "reentry" in the post history and I don't see anyone sharing that info yet. (I know we all understand that's how it's supposed to work but I'm just trying to make certain that someone's actually done it :))

As I said it's probably too early for anyone to have done that yet but if someone happens to, please do share!

Hi. How many days to process DTV in Phnom Penh?

Hi. I wanted to know the success rate of applying for an METV visa twice in one year? Anyone tried? appreciate any responses. Krup
