application moved to Pending Approval so I guess that's progress 😆

DTV_BegPecker good to know will take pictures first aha

aha lets hope so.

I actually already have a DTV and we are currently in Vietnam applying for dependent DTVs for my wife and kid. However, they are both pretty sick and want to go back to BKK asap.

I wonder if the application will be approved if I leave. Since they ask for full proof of location (hotel, flight, etc). I am assuming they have no other way to check where we actually are 🤣.

A friend just received his DTV while in Thailand, but he applied in France last month.

Thanks a lot for the clear response, really appreciate it. I am conducting further research, and I indeed see that many people were able to get away with it by entering on a tourist visa, obtaining the DTV, and then leaving and re-entering.
