Anonymous participant It is actually 10 business days, not including the business day you applied (so technically 11 business days). Furthermore, Jan 7th I believe was a Cambodian holiday. Therefore, Wednesday (22nd) would be the 11th day and should receive notice in the evening

People responding are not understanding the question. OP wants to apply for a South Korean visa in Thailand, however the South Korean embassy only allows people on “long term” visas in Thailand to apply. OP wants to know if DTV (or previous ED) would count and therefore could use the Korean embassy in Bangkok to apply for the Korean visa. [Similar to how only Hong Kong residents could use the Thai embassy there to apply for a Thai visa]

I am curious, as I saw your previous post, on what grounds will your husband get the DTV? You previously stated he will be retired. It sounds like you will apply for your children to have DTV based on your husband having one. As an FYI, you could apply (e-visa system) for your children after your husband is approved. So it can take some time outside of Thailand to process his and then the children’s DTVs (2-4 weeks). You being on an ED visa probably means you would not be able to travel with them to an embassy in a nearby county. I would suggest applying now, before you head to Thailand. There should be no issue with your husband not being there for 2 weeks later on.

Anonymous participant 582 Mine is also a sticker. So very different

Remember Jan 25th to Feb 2nd is Tet (New Year). The embassy will be closed for a week. Any applications submitted before the 25th won’t be finalized until after Feb 2nd

@Kevin ******

Mine has nothing

Some embassies ask for tax returns as proof that you have an income. Not all embassies request this

There are no more in person applicants. Last remaining embassies switched to 100% evisa on Jan 1st. However, you are correct. When there was an in person option, they would either check your documents or in a few locations approve you before payment. Unfortunately, no longer the case

Their website suggests that you should apply at least 30 days before your planned travel. Furthermore, there were 5 holidays during this time in which the embassy was closed. Don’t think it matters if you tell them your timeline.

As a reminder, Vietnam has a weeklong holiday the week after next. The embassy will be closed. So if you apply next week, you probably wont get it until early Feb.
