Contact the social media sites of the embassy as well to inform them of your situation. That has worked with similar cases as yours with other embassies. Hopefully you hear soon.

Anonymous participantYeah wait until approved where you apply. If you leave early your DTV can be rescinded upon arrival in Bangkok or a later date. Contact the SM sites of Frankfurt embassy also to make contact

A few others have posted on delays in Frankfurt with approvals taking around a month. You can apply anywhere that does not have specific residency requirements which is the majority worldwide. SE Asia is popular due to its proximity to Thailand and 'friendly' process. Some, like myself chose Taiwan as it was same day approval. Most likely you will hear soon from Frankfurt..

There are very few postings from Taiwan these days. I know SP applicants need to submit similar employment docs as Workcation.

@โทบี้ ******

it was detailed In the press release last week. Visiting Thailand, returning home then coming back to Thailand several months later is consistent with being a tourist/visitor.

Including such a note is a good idea.

Yeah, there are a couple of approvals via Tokyo which should be in the threads. Note Tokyo is very strict with approval and often issues 6 month TV Instead of the DTV. Fukuoka and Osaka are 'friendlier'. Make good use of Tokyo's free pre application service and focus on showing long term need to have the 5 year visa.

Yeah, their posts should be in the threads.

He means coming via Workcation DTV or Softpower?

Some self-employed DTVERS used their HMRC self-assessment tax returns
