How long does the visa processing time take after an interview, and can it be approved sooner than expected?

Greg ********

Anonymous participant It well over 20 years since I have been to the Thai Embassy on London. Back when you had to go in person for a Touriat Visa. I used to sometimes go to the Thai Square nightclubs at Trafalgar Square around that time. Thai Embassy and Thai Airways staff sometimes there. Anyway - hope you make your flight next week.

Hopefully as you had an interview the process is a little faster. As I said yours was the first interview I had heard of in London. Good luck anyway and hope it all works out.

What are the drawbacks of a Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) compared to a Retirement Visa in Thailand?

Greg ********

@Jared ********

I think it may depend on which Land Transport office you renew at regarding the 2 year or 5 year renewal. Like most things in Thailand "It depends". I am pretty sure someone posted they got a 5 year in Chiang Mai on a DTV.

Have they not just changed the rules for SIM cards very recently (If the Telco's define the DTV as a tourist visa) - need to revalidate every 60 days? Has anyone seen that
