Hi. I submitted dtv application in Cambodia on April 27. Additional document request came on April 28, which I submitted to their request on the same day. Does that mean Day 1 is April 29?
Also, I checked the holiday schedule on the Phnom Penh Thai Embassy website and found only 3 holidays during this time - May 5, 12, and 14.
So if I'm counting the days correctly, it means Day 11 was May 16. And today (May 19) is Day 12. So should I still hear something today? I'm just wondering if I still need extend my hotel further.
Am I counting the days correctly? And is it still 11 working days for Cambodia? Anyone else in the same boat? Or have any insight? Much appreciated.
Hi, advice please. I’m currently in Thailand and will be leaving to go Jakarta soon and apply for a DTV Visa. Can anyone confirm what address they used when they completed their application? Did you use one in Thailand?
Hi, has anyone applied in Seoul as a non-resident (tourist) and got approved?
I’m a US citizen on a tourist visa undergoing tests in Seoul for a recently diagnosed illness. I’m hoping to apply for DTV under soft power (medical) to continue with tests and treatment in Bangkok. I see on the Thai embassy website that I would need to be residing in South Korea - i find this a bit vague, does this mean the application is only open to residents, or can non-residents (tourists) apply as well as long as they’re in SK until the DTV is issued?
So trying to clarify. Going to immigration tomorrow for my visa exempt to Non O. Then 9p days later for Non o for marriage.
For this Non O. The information person at immigration said our two witnesses need to come in person. Which I've never had to do prior or heard of. Is this correct? I don't want our two witnesses to have to drive the almost 2 hour drive for no reason.
I am about to submit my application tonight or tomorrow.
Something that changed and probably came with the recent update is the travel information section. It sais:
last port of embarkation
then choose the type of transport, choose from land, sea, air and
vehicle number
Pretty confusing.
Last port of embarkation I would put “Laos” in there as my trip to enter Thailand starts in Laos. I would enter Thailand by bus so I would choose “land”. How about the vehicle number? I don’t know when exactly I will be traveling and what the number plates of the bus will be on that trip.
Should I register for the TDAC after the fact? I entered Thailand on 15Mar, after the paper form was discontinued but before 01May when the TDAC came into effect.
