Hello, I applied for Thai DTV visa. After two weeks I was asked for additional documents which I submitted and it has been about two weeks since I submitted additional documents that I haven’t heard anything. My question is since I already booked my ticket, is it ok to travel to Thailand while my DTV visa is processing? Of course I will leave Thailand and re-enter if my DTV is approved to activate it. But I am not sure if this is ok or it might get my DTV application rejected.

I tried applying for DTV on the official website today. I’ve a hyphenated name. Unfortunately it doesn’t accept the hyphen. So I’ve just typed in my name without the hyphen. Would this be a problem? Your input would be much appreciated. Thank you!

Hello everyone, I’m making my DTV and would like to have your feedback, does anyone had to call ambassy to make the process faster ? I’m talking about a gentle call not get them mad 😄

Thank you all!

Good Afteenoon DTV Group,

Submitted my DTV on the 19.03.25, I was asked for additional documents on the 19.03.25, which i supplied in less than 1 hour , now pending approval , is it frowned upon to email embassy and ask for an update? It's been 9 working days to date.

Thanks for any advice , 1st time applying for DTV visa so unsure how long this process normally takes, don't want to come across pushy 🙏 🤞

So I read in a few different places that if you have questions about applying because you have a specific situation that's not the norm, that you should contact the embassy where you plan to apply, so that you can be sure you have everything in order according to that embassy's requirements. Well, my plan is to go to Cambodia to apply. And so I emailed the embassy last week on Sunday. I was expecting they may read it on Monday and reply like on Monday or Tuesday. But it's already Sunday again ( a whole week passed) and still no answer from them. Anyone experience email communication with embassy's like this in which it's just a couple of questions needing answering so I can continue my application prep? What's normal as far as waiting on an email reply?

So I applied at the London embassy almost a month ago. They asked for more information about my business which I sent back. Then a few days later they asked for another recent photo of me. And since then…silence. It’s been over two weeks now.

My flight is in two weeks time and my husband also still has to apply for the spouse visa, does anyone think there is any point in trying to call the embassy and check progress?

I applied my DTV on 14th February 2025 from Islamabd, Pakistan, it shows processing, pending document check from that date. Is there any way I can communicate with the embassy as dates for my planned travel arriving soon.

Israeli client accepted in 🇻🇳

Interesting one for us this ( I own a muay thai gym). We sent him draft documents to check over for any spelling mistakes etc .. he didn't understand and submitted the draft invite letter which was unsigned / unstamped. We had also at that point, not given him our gym certification.

The embassy rang us and we explained. They approved without the rest of the documents being sent. Surprised me that did.

Has anyone received an email from the embassy in HCMC? I've been waiting for over a week now, no information yet

I submitted all my documents and application on sunday 05 jan, got a message today requesting extra documents. I was expecting the passport pages request but it said it wanted additional details of my current role, including cv, portfolio, work examples.

I applied as a remote worker, working for an employer in my home country so i don't have a portfolio, can't really show work examples due tonconfidentiality clause and i don't have an up-to-date cv.

I initially provided my contract, a letter from my boss approving me to work remotely and an extract from chamber of commerce for the company I am employed at.

I don't really know what else I can provide them, and am slightly worried now.
