Good afternoon everyone,

I received a tourist visa from Guangzhou. But I am not in guangzhou anymore (long story), and I would actually like to apply for a DTV instead, even though I received today my tourist visa.

Do I need to enter thailand with this tourist visa, wait for it to expire before applying for the DTV ? Can I directly apply for the DTV instead in another country, without entering Thailand with the tourist visa that was just issued for me ?

If I do need to use this tourist visa, can I enter from a different place than the one I applied from ?

Thanks for the help I am lost in space here 😅

Hi everyone,

This may be an "overthinking type" of question: I'm currently in Thailand, and I wish to apply for a DTV via the e-visa website from Cambodia, where I'll be from the 14th of this month.

I've started a draft application on the website to see what supporting documents I need to provide exactly, and started inputing information there.

Will it be okay to get the application ready and just hit the "apply" button on the day I arrive in Cambodia?

Or should I just redo the full process when getting there, because of the "start date" which would be prior to me getting to cambodia?

If you have any personal experience to share it would be great 😊

Thanks 🙏

Hello everyone, I need all the information I can get. I’m planning to start a company (recruitment) and do the work from Thailand. I’m from europe and currently in Thailand. Will I be able to start a company and immediately apply for a DTV visa, or is it impossible since the company hasn’t started yet? What documents will they require?

Thank you

Hello everyone, has anyone extended the 180-day DTV Muay Thai visa? What documents do immigration ask for to get an extension?

I applied for a DTV visa on 29th December. The next day, they asked me to provide an additional document, proof of address such as a bank statement or a bill. So directly I sent a bank statement.

Today is January 4th and I have no news.

I am in Mauritius and am attached to the Royal Thai Embassy in South Africa

is it normal that i have no news? what do you think?

Thx
