Are you comparing your timeline with others who applied via the same embassy or just in general, because each embassy had a different timeframe used to approve visas. Some embassies take 5 days while others take 30 days. Also, so also explicitly state that if you need to submit new documents, the processing time/clock resets to 0 days since submission. It would therefore be helpful to know which embassy you applied via.

Anonymous participant even if you entered on April 12th, they would give you 60 days stamp. The dates on the visa are the dates for when you can use it to enter Thailand, the stamp you get at the airport from immigration states the number of days you are allowed to stay.

@Andr ****

- what type of tourist visa did you have? Was it multi-entry? If no, it is effectively canceled when you left the country.

Applicants from Georgia apply via Turkey

Anonymous participant Your travel timeline doesn’t line up with this statement and immigration will see this as well. If not a DTV, at least get a tourist visa

@Biff ******

if you go a week early for your first 90 day reporting, your second 90

Day reporting is 90

Days from the first reporting. Since you went for first report on day 83, second report is day 173.

I looked at the link. The guy posting does seem to have a DTV for him and his wife. He has been posting about the process since December and shows semi-blacked out copies of the visa, his wife’s visa, etc. he is also not anonymous in his post. He is Burmese and wonder if that is part of thr issue and immigration was specifically targeting that nationality.

Even when applying online via evisa, you have to select the embassy in the country where you are physically located. That embassy will be responsible for reviewing and each one has slightly different requirements. Where will you be when you apply?

Anonymous participant 905 - can you please elaborate, what do you mean about renting an apartment before the long term visa? Why is this specific to those avoiding their home country for political reasons?

@Paul ******

- yup. Getting married to a Thai guy this year. Been together for ten years.
