Hi!

I'm currently applying for the DTV in KL, and after doing some research, I found out that it's one of the hardest places to apply from since they requested authenticated documents, but the US embassy doesn't authenticate those documents in Malaysia.

I was wondering if it'd be easier to go to another country, like Vietnam, and start the process there. If so, do I have to withdraw my process in KL?

Thanks in advance!

Business day 8 since applying for DTV visa. Went from requesting more docs to pending approval back to pending document check… but I heard this is normal. American using Ho Chi Minh City embassy.

Sponsorship Letter in Laos

Has anyone been approved with a sponsorship letter from their parents in Laos to be the primary holder of the DTV? To be clear, my parents are not applying for the DTV but they would be sponsoring me.

If not, which countries have success rates with a sponsorship letter? I have a few friends who applied from the US successfully, but I’m already in Southeast Asia. Could I leave Thailand and say I’m in the US to apply? My friends were in Europe but said they were in the US.

Thank you in advance!

Hello, I have a question regarding applying for a visa to another country while holding a Thai ED Visa.

I will have been in Thailand for 6 months on my ED Visa, and I have all my documents ready. Can I apply for a Japan visa from Thailand under these circumstances?

Thai driving license advice please 🙏🏻

Hi everyone

I’m up in Kalasin (Bua Khao) and have tried to get a Thai driving license

The transport office tells me to go to the police station, the police station tells me to go to the transport office.

I have a non o spouse visa, yellow book, ID card, in date Australian License, and an in date International Permit.

Just after any info where I can get a Thai license without being scammed. So if you’ve used a service and are happy with the outcome could you PM me the details please 🙏🏻

Cheers 🍻

I am currently on a non-O work visa as a teacher, and I have resigned. My visa  well go back to tourist and I am leaving the country in December and returning on a tourist visa. My plan is to move out of the country in May. Here is my question. I will be traveling  to Sri Lanka just shy of my 60 days back in the country. Then I will be back in the country until 11 April and out for a few days in Cambodia, then back here for about 30 days  before I leave for good.  I am worried about the two entry rules. Should I do an extension on my first tourist visa right before I leave for Sri Lanka and then come back in on a 60 day visa, and then still be able to return from Cambodia on a tourist visa before I leave for good? I hope this makes sense. 😂

Does anyone know if you can get an Australian working holiday Visa at the same time as the DTV? I have the DTV already!

If so, I am hoping to do some work in Australia for a few months and then return

Sorry if this question is already been asked this just so many posts to go through

Hi everyone, I have a question about the DTV visa processing time.

I submitted my DTV visa application through the Thai Consulate in Frankfurt, Germany. They requested additional documents and I uploaded everything the next day on October 15th.

Since then, I have been waiting for over 19 working days without any update or email.

Is anyone here experiencing similar processing times from Frankfurt?

How long did it take for your DTV approval?

Thank you in advance. 🙏

Hanoi embassy approved dtv

I think the embassy in Hanoi is working very consistant. I saw someone posting to receive approval for muay thai softpower dtv on the 10th Nov - submission on 3rd Nov.

I also submitted mine on 3rd November, softpower muay thai, but towards end of the day. I received approval this afternoon on 11th Nov. I submitted all documents that are requested at once and went into Pending approval status until today.

This DTV page really helps a lot, as it gave me an idea of how far the "queue" was at the embassy in Hanoi. Cheers to all.

I had a retirement visa that I couldn't renew because I had to leave Thailand for a family emergency.

So I have to apply for a new visa.

I already have the bank account with 800 000 B.

Do you think that immigration office will ask for a recent proof of transfer from overseas ?
