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?

Which embassy/consulate?

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.

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.
