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

UPDATED WITH PICTURE OF VISA.

NON-O Visa (Thai child)

Here's my experience with HCMC Thai embassy.

Made an appointment online for today..showed up with Copy of my daughters birth certificate, ID card & house registration book

I didn't print anything to do with financial statements as it wasn't very clear what they wanted as all it says on the website is "2.5. Applicant’s financial statement of adequate finance is required." They wanted 6 months bank statements and a balance of 20k in any bank/currency.

Showed 6 months statements from Krungsri download from app and printed and a print out of current balance of Lloyd's UK bank and paid the 200USD visa fee.

Received my wee slip to pick up the 12 month multiple entry non-o on Tuesday..copy shop just round the corner so quick and easy if needing extra paperwork printed out.

Hello everyone!

I am interested in applying for a DTV in Phnom Penh, I am flying there next week. Who has recently applied for and successfully obtained a visa? Can you please tell me your case, what did you provide from the documents?

Has anyone applied for DTV with their finances being VA 100% P&T? I would imagine they would approve the application, but I wanted to reach out and see if anyone had personal experience with it.

It was good news and fair news in Savannakhet applying for a soft dtv visa today.

My marriage visa from there 15 months ago expired just in time to get a new dtv visa. Lucky me.

So I booked a medical appointment for a general medical evaluation at a Thai hospital in September. Then I downloaded balance sheets from my brokerage firm in the US well in excess of the minimum required.

It all went great until I got to the window.

The grilling about the financials was intense and I had to return in early afternoon with my tablet and two months of brokerage print outs.

They finally were convinced I was ok and asked if I wanted 3 months or one year like previously.

I was most confused and so were they.

They thought I wanted to renew the old marriage visa. I wanted the five year dtv for medical treatment.

They then deemed my medical appointment inadequate since it mentioned no specific condition. I pleaded that I was yet to learn of my infirmities until the medical exam.

Nope, no good, so if you go that medical route have a pre existing condition.

No dtv for me!

BUT they did sell me a new 12 month multi entry marriage visa for 5,000 baht ,no questions asked, on the basis of my brokerage statements.

No marriage certificate or money in a Thai bank.

So I didn't get what I wanted but still walk away with a year visa. Just 90 day reentries instead of 180.

It could be worse.

Hey guys!

How hard is it to get a single-entry tourist visa in Jakarta? I'm wondering whether it's worth trying there, because I have a lot of Thai tourist visas in my passport, and somewhere I noticed that it's a difficult place for people like me. ;) If not there, what country do you recommend? In Malaysia, I took visas in KL and Kota Bharu. Is Singapore ok? Maybe Penang in Malaysia?

Thx for help! :)
