Yes, it has been mentioned multiple times on here. You need to put your country.

From what I have seen, it takes roughly 5 working days. If you submitted right before 5pm on Monday, that would count as a Tuesday submission. Similar to in person, submissions are usually counted as in the morning timeframe. The consular section closes usually at 3 or 4.

The DTV and ED visas are two different type of visas

Anonymous participant - and you are still in that jurisdiction?

Anonymous participant - Are you American or a legal resident of the United States? Are you physically located in NY's jurisdiction? Normally, posters on here are jumping the gun on wanting to contact the embassy, not waiting enough time (as stipulated by the consulate). However, I believe you have waited more than long enough, so it is reasonable to contact them.

Anonymous participant - The NY consulate states it takes on average 15 days to process a visa. It has now been 25 business days. When did you tell them you were departing for Thailand?

The OP’s nationality makes no difference with this question. The South Korean embassy only allows individuals with residency/long term visas for Thailand to apply for a visa via the South Korea embassy in Bangkok. The OP was asking if the DTV visa qualifies as a “long term” (strange terminology) visa. The OP isn’t asking if they need a visa or not, but asking about DTV qualifying to meet the requirement to apply for the visa.

- You are American, you have a passport that allows you to travel many places without a visa. He literally asked if he was eligible to apply for a Korean visit visa. I think that is pretty clear in saying he needs a visa.
