[members only]/ - is it a real site? I opened an application for the DTV visa, paid, was asked for more info - but can't get into the site ever again and the verification email never comes, not even into spam. Now it says the pw is wrong so reset pw but again the verification email never comes, not even into spam. I called all the numbers in London and Thailand, emailed all the emails and used messenger...what to do? Do they exist? Or are they a scam?

I did my first online 90 report yesterday, and I've noticed it still states that it is pending when I look at my visa status. Is this normal, and how long does it usually take to get approved?

We are getting a few cases of people forging our documents. The embassy call us and ask for confirmation that the client is genuine, that's how we catch them out.

Has anyone dealt with the issue of their city not being listed in the drop down menu of the city options for permanent address within the DTV online application process? Aside from writing a cover letter, I'm not sure what else I can do and am concerned of a potential rejection for that reason. I will be applying online via Jakarta.

Hello everyone.

I have spent the last 6 months travelling around Thailand on 2 x 60 days visa exempt and 2 x 30 day extensions. I'm now planning to leave Thailand to apply for the DTV from a third country.

I usually work online but have NOT been doing so from Thailand as that's obviously against the rules and I was taking a break.

My question is, will the 6 months I've spent here make it more likely my DTV application be denied? Will the embassy assume I have been living/working here on a tourist visa? Has anyone had any problems like this?

I have the funds needed, is this sufficient to be accepted?

Many thanks

Hello, is it possible to apply for a DTV visa while already on Thai territory?

Thank you!
