Why was my entry denied by the immigration officer in Thailand despite having a DTV?

John *******

Could he have thought you were working for American clients who are based in Thailand? If so, you can’t do that and he would deny entry

Anonymous participant Cancelation is different than rejection. It means you entered some sort of datapoint incorrectly. Still lose the application fee though.

Why do visas need to be applied for at the embassy in the country you are visiting?

John *******

You are supposed to apply via the embassy in the jurisdiction where you are physically located. So if you are physically in Vietnam, you apply via one of the two embassies/consulates in Vietnam. You should only apply via your home country if you are actually in your home country.

When is it appropriate to contact the embassy for an update on my DTV application?

John *******

Also, the 5th was a holiday, so only been 7 days. LA states 15, and if they ask for additional documents, they add 5 more days once those documents are submitted

Can I apply for the DTV visa while in Greece without being a resident?

John *******

@Tim **********

- I don’t think that will work. Furthermore, the embassy is technically Thai sovereign land, so technically once in the building, it is no longer EU.
