ORIGINAL POSTER
Hi, I’m Iranian. I came to Bangkok one month ago on a tourist visa to look for a way to get a longer-term visa.

Someone suggested the DTV (Destination Thailand Visa) to me.

I know I have to leave Thailand to apply, but as an Iranian, which country should I go to — Laos, Vietnam, China, or somewhere else?

How long does the whole process take?

While the application is being processed, can I return to Iran, or do I have to stay in the country where I submit the application?

Also, is a personal interview required, or can everything be done online?

How much does the visa process cost in total?

And finally — is Bangkok a good place to live for now, considering that I don’t have a job yet and I just want to apply for a visa so I can later find work there?
