I’m applying for the DTV workcation in Jakarta in the fourth week of August. For the online application’s hotel booking requirement, do I need to show a fully paid 2–3 week reservation? I plan to book and pay for about 2 weeks, then extend and pay as I go if processing takes longer.

As a newly APPROVED Canadian DTV holder, I just wanted to share my experience & some possible takeaways for those considering applying or mid-application:

1. I applied for my Visa online at the Government of Thailand's Visa webpage. I did not physically apply "at" an embassy. The Thai government uses "at the ____ embassy" phrasing to mean that your country's embassy reviews the documents that you send through the Thai government online portal. You do not have to physically show up there.

2. In my experience the Thai embassy in Ottawa was pretty chill about the requirements. They did not seem to care that my employment documents were unusual (I'm a freelancer), nor that I did not have the required funds for the entire three month statement period.

3. However, there WAS quite a bit of back and forth between me and the embassy about missing details in my documents. I had two requests for additional documentation, and one of them requested a full FOUR documents!

4. The embassy was very quick in responding to each of my submissions.

Based on the experience described above, I have for takeaways for those considering applying in Canada:

1. Apply online on the Government of Thailand's Visa webpage.

2. Don't worry about being slightly off-the-mark on one of the requirements, they're looking to see that you are roughly the type of applicant they want.

3. DO make sure your documents contain all the required information.

4. Don't sweat their official statement that the application process "will take up to 25 days." They will get back to you in under 24 hours.

Hi!

Need a visa agent to support me and my VN gf with DTV visas. I'm Lithuanian. Have the needed money on account, just don't want to do it through my embassy in person, as it's in Denmark. I'm in VN now, would be best to solve all here or online. Any options?

Thanks!

UPDATE: Received my approval email with my DTV visa at 2:15pm today (Monday)!

Hi, I landed in Da Nang on Tuesday and applied for my DTV visa Tuesday night with the Hanoi embassy on the online portal. I got a request for additional documents (June bank statement and business registration) on Wednesday at 4:10pm and submitted them along with a cover letter within the hour. I showed them that I have 1.5 Million Baht in my accounts. I haven't heard anything from them since they requested the additional documents and I really need to figure out my travel arrangements. Has anyone else had a similar experience - if so, how long did it take to get a decision?

Right now, my status is Processing Pending Approval (1)

Does the on line 90 day reporting ever work ...

3 days now and still pending done on 14 days beforr due date

Do you need to make an appointment for a 60 day tourist visa application at Savannakhet ?

hi - I am a bit worried now. Yesterday I did my 2nd tm47 online and today I see a mail from immigration saying : your application for staying longer than 90 days has been rejected

and : please contact the nearest immigration office immediately in person.

That doesn't sound good.

Any guesses? I have done nothing not been involved with police or anything.

Does Taipei still do the walk-in (no appointment) ? Does this mean that I don't have to submit that application online on evsiath.go?

THANK YOU !!! :)

Any difference between applying online and applying at an embassy?

Laos and Hanoi seem fast and easy with the correct paperwork at the embassy.

Doesn't make a difference if I do it in Bali?

Just provide the entrance stamp in the papers?

Thanks guys!!!
