To anybody who applied for DTV in Kuala Lumpur, have you been able to pass it without fulfilling those requirements and if so, how you managed to do that? My case: no relevant embassy in Malaysia and unable to proceed.

This question is not for getting a visa into Thailand, but for a Thai person getting a tourist visa to the UK. She is working, 50 yrs old and will have a return flight.

Has anyone had any problems with a Thai friend getting into the UK for a holiday, and meet a friend?

I have just filled out my DTAC , for arrival in Thailand on 2nd June, it would not except my date of departure, which is 1st June, I know it’s not going to be a problem (I hope) and it didn’t let me enter where I was staying, so I left it blank and carried on, it really isn’t the best app, very fiddly, any one else had similar

Dtv soft power.

Has anyone gotten their dtv approved for 1 course but then decided to change to another one? I initially signed up for muay thai 9 months but hurt my self and the doctor advised to stop for at least 6 months and then review. I'm thinking of changing over to an approved cooking class instead, but not sure if that's allowed

I came to Laos on a 14-day visa-exempt after being told by the agent that I would get my DTV approved here within a week. The agent applied for my visa but filled in my name incorrectly during so my visa was cancelled. I reapplied for it myself the very day, but was only able to pay the next day. Because of this, I only have one week left on my visa-exempt stay here. I saw in this group that someone who applied on the 14th or 15th had their interview scheduled for the 28th. I don't have enough time left if the interview is going to be in 2 weeks. I was planning to do a visa run to Thailand and back into Laos, but it says online that I'm supposed to remain in Laos the whole time the visa is being processed, and that it would affect my DTV activation otherwise. What can I do? Is it possible to extend my visa-exempt stay at the immigration office? (I was reading on Google, and most said I can't, but an agent I met outside the embassy said he could do it for me, but it takes 5 days. I'm not sure if I should or could trust him.)

P.S I knew the name was the issue because the embassy told me the name was the problem in the cancellation email.

Application has been pending approval since May 8th. 13 calendar days so far.

I see a lot of others in similar status, but i feel this is kinda long. Is there a way to follow up with them?

HCMC DTV applied 7th of May, it's now the 20th and pending approval.

Should I fly to Hanoi and submit an additional application?

What happens if my vietnam visa ends? Does my DTV application automatically expire?

Cheers for the help.
