Hi there, did it happened to anyone that you didn't get the visa on time before your flight ? Since I had to book it in order to apply for it... Thank you :)

Looking for recent experience -- we were just unable to renew my husband's visa because he only had one passport page left (US passport), and apparently that page is reserved for "special endoremsements." The US consulate's website says (in many places) that they will not add pages and the only solution is to renew his passport by sending it to the embassy in Bangkok, which takes 4-6 weeks. His visa expires in 2.5 weeks. Has anyone successfully gotten an emergency passport or extra pages added in this situation (recently)?

Is it true that your DTVisa application can be rejected over minor errors, requiring you to submit it and pay the fee again?

Applying for a METV .

On all the questions I've managed to download the necessary pictures,documents and view them on the form.

While trying to download the 3 bank statements to the form and view them I get these pictures

Can click open and download link and then I can open the file.

Stupid question I think but will the embassy be able to do the same to view the statement s?

Please don't shout!

Hi, I’m planning to apply for the DTV visa from an Asian country, and I’d like to know if my child also needs to be physically present in the same country to obtain the visa after my application is approved. Alternatively, can he be in a different country, and I apply for his visa online once mine is approved?

Hi all,

does anyone have experience applying for dtv or retirement visa from South Africa?

I'm based in Cape Town, no Thai embassy. Closest embassy is Pretoria.

Is physical presence at the embassy required or can everything be done online?

I just received approval! Applied through Jakarta. 8 days total.

Quick question: do I need to physically go to the embassy in Jakarta before I can use the visa? They sent a pdf with the e-visa. I see no mention of needing to go in person and in the information it says: Airlines may ask for the details of this e-mail so they can carry out checks to allow you to board the plane.

It sounds good to go, however, I heard from a friend you must pick up the visa in Jakarta. Chatgpt says the same. Can someone confirm if it’s required? I’m currently in Bali.

Hi. I intend to apply for DTV visa. Can I do it myself or should I hire a lawyer? I am currently not in Thailand.
