My Visa, based on marriage, has been approved. I confirmed this with Delta on their app. Pretty simple. Under my ticket, I was asked to confirm my Visa. That is it. I have printed my payment and confirmation for my travel and have them saved on my phone. I will complete the TDAC about three days before I leave

My question is my spouse. She is a dual citizen. Under her Delta ticket, it looks like she needs a Visa also. Does anyone know what that is called? And does that get completed through our Consulate? Thank you

I’m a US citizen currently working remotely from Ethiopia & am trying to apply for a DTV. I’ve two dependents (wife & kid) that are both Ethiopian citizens. How do I go about this?

Do I apply as if I’m living in Ethiopia (in which case the application apparently is handled by the consulate in Niarobi) or do I apply as if I’m living in the US. If the latter then would the consulate in the US also handle the case for my wife/kid although they aren’t a US resident?

Hello!

My husband has a DTV remote worker visa and myself and two children are on a DTV dependent visa. I gave birth to our third child 5 months ago in Thailand and would like to get him on the dependent DTV as well. I am wondering if anyone has applied in Asia (i.e. Vietnam, Mayasia, Indonesia, Laos) recently for a dependent DTV and had success?

Thank you all for your help:)

Follow up to my post from 2 September. A few months ago Tod advised me "You could go to a Thai consulate in a nearby country and get a 90 day Non-O visa based on being the father of a thai child by using the birth certificate, the mothers i/d and house book and showing 400K baht in a thai bank account in your name only (or the equivalent in an account in your country)". Would it be possible to do this when my original 90-day Non-Imm 'B' is ready to expire on 24 Sept? I am not yet legally married to my child's mother but we all live together. If this is possible, what about Section 4 of the Supporting Documents section on the e-visa application for Vientiane Thai Consulate where it states: "Financial evidence showing monthly income of no less than 40,000 THB or having the current balance of 400,000 THB (e.g., bank statements for the last three months, sponsor letter)"? I would be able to show 400,000THB when I submit the e-visa application, but not in my bank for the last three months of bank statements. Has anyone had recent success in getting a 90-day Non-Imm O visa for a Thai child dependant, and did they have to show 400,000THB in their bank for 3 months up to the date they applied, or just in their account at the time they applied, particularly related to Vientiane Thai Consulate? Many thanks!

good morning all,

is it true that today (aug11th), and tomorrow (aug 12th) is a holiday so our applications wont be reviewed until wednesday? would it matter if i submit it today vs wednesday? (i have a few things that need to be done so just wondering if there would be any difference)

When a visa is approved via Thai consulate in USA, does consulate mail anything hard copy to me or is it all electronic? TIA

What is the most loyal consulate as of today? How quick the processs goes? Asking for a friend 🙃 Mine took almost a month in the states!

I’m officially approved for my 5-year Thailand DTV Visa!

Special Thanks:

Appreciation to the team at Settle in Abroad providing structured guidance and thorough review at every step. While the application was submitted directly to the Thai consulate, their experience and attention to detail made a meaningful difference in the clarity and confidence of my process.

Thanks also to Muay Thai Fever Gym in Chiang Mai for preparing an excellent documentation package and welcoming training program that aligns with the spirit of the DTV visa.

* According to the web site of the Thai embassy in Vientianne, one must "Book an appointment at [[members only]/). Walk-ins will not be accepted." I have tried that link for a while but it is not taking me anywhere. Can someone tip me on how to get an appointment?

* Out of curiosity, I noticed that the Thai Consulate in Savannakhet has the option to schedule appointments for DTV visa. By any chance, has anyone in this group tried in Savannakhet? Was the experience similar to Vientiane? Thanks.

So I’m thinking of going to Vientiane in Laos to apply for the workcation visa in a few months time. Has anyone had any experience applying there?
