Many comments here mention the stress of the DTV application by one’s self.

Sometimes just the thought of ‘visa paperwork’ causes panic and stress. But in my recent experience of self application DTV, it was the most straightforward, quick and simple visa process Ive experienced after 12 years of , non B, non Ed, tourist, non O retirement visas… especially prohibitive necessity to be in country around annual extension/renewal time.

So I exited last month with about 4 months still on my Non-O, applied for and came back on a DTV. i

Seriously, if you meet the criteria, it is a really straightforward process.

If you’re concerned about applying for the DTV, have you considered how stressed you could be if you stay in country for the full 180 days, when you have to go to extend the visa at an immigration office. There has not been a post about 180 day extension application yet because no one has been on a DTV for 6 months yet. Not meaning to scaremonger, but they may or may not require supporting documents to extend.

Anyway my point is to assure you that in some Thai consulates it is a quick easy process.

That’s great news. Happy for you. 👍😄

@Ying *****

did it all go ok? Did you get your DTV today? 🙏🙏

In Thailand. It’s a Thai Visa in my passport. There are immigration offices in many provinces of Thailand. So I would go to the one closest to where I live, in Thailand.

@Roman ******

I’d take my passport to whichever immigration office serves the area I live in.

With other thai e-visas I’ve offered to show on my phone and 8-10 times they just say “it’s in the system’.

If you’re concerned about showing a printed copy, print it and staple it in your passport. The IO’s don’t keep the copy you show them.

I received a sticker DTV in my passport last week. They hand wrote on the sticker that my passport expires in 2027.

I’ll renew passport next year and go to immigration to transfer the visa.

Jakarta accepted a two day old printed screenshot of my most recent statement and didn’t request anything else.
