Finally!! My DTV is approved.

Thank you for this group.

Quick background: A Philippine passport holder applied in Manila.

Sharing my timeline and experience as I saw quite few PH passport holders submitting DTV.

December 11: submitted form

December 16: Requested additional document: emails with clients and sample work

December 16: Submitted additional document

December 23: requested additional docs, (bank statement where pay is received) submitted within the day; changed status to pending approval

December 26: received visa approval.

I opened a Bank Account with only DTV Visa. I spoke to them in Thai and explained my situation and my plans in Thailand. I needed to go to 8 branches in North Thailand. I also had a Thai driver license, rent lease, a very clean passport and I dressed appropriately. It is possible if you put alot of effort in to it

Happy Chritmas to ya'll.

The police just called and are visiting tomorrow ref marriage visa application They asked for a donation. Can anyone recommend what amount one would normally donate in such instances

Thanks

Hello everyone,

just curious if anyone have been requested for the futher documenations when applying for the DTV(remote work) as below and how to deal with it as it´s doesnt make any sense to me. I have a ticket to Thailand but not back yet because i am not sure when ill going back. Also i have booked accomodation for the 7 days and provided them the recipe, but having accomodation for the whole stay(possible 6 months) is crazy. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thank you

Other request documents: ticket to and out of Thailand, travel itinerary shall start in Czech Republic

Other request documents: proof of accommodation showing applicant's name for whole stay in Thailand

Has anyone ever used "SWD Thai Visa Service" recently?

I am looking for feedback on this agency since I couldn't find many reviews about them online. Could anyone please share the experience with the agency or at least verify its legitimacy? Thanks.

Just Landed in BKK ~ On my 8th trip this year . No visa Run - Stays vary between 7-14 days each trip !

Asked to show my bank account ( App ) , What I do for work ( Pilot - Crew ) . End of story !

I was sent my way .

Ps: I think , it’s only a red flag if you have Multiple visa runs & staying close to your exemption timeline .

Happy Hollidays All 😵

Past work & travel history

No request to upgrade course length, and no extra documents after interview.

Has anyone recently gone through the DTV visa process in Vientiane and can share how long it took to get called for the interview and receive the visa?

Any recent experiences, timelines, or tips would be super helpful!

If anyone has direct contacts at the embassy, I’d be incredibly grateful.

Thanks in advance! 🙏

Hi does anyone know if these fast track sites you see online for Don Mueang actually help you get through immigration quicker and smoothly? Thanks in advance for any replies.

Hi everyone,

I couldn’t find many older posts about this, so I wanted to ask:

Has anyone here applied for a DTV visa through the Thai Embassy / Consulate in Ankara, Turkey?

How long did the process take in your experience?

And overall, did you have a positive impression of the consulate and the way they handled the application?
