use a free online program and combine them all to one file that is smaller than the max allowed file size

It's a website so as long as you have a browser on your phone an inter-web connection you can access it 🙂

It takes a bit to make a profile, then add an address, THEN file a TM30 on someone at that address, save their data then search for it to export the PDF file that is the receipt of having filed a TM30 online, BUT it could be done on a phone.

You'll have to print that PDF somehow as you're supposed to keep it in your passport

There are touts at the land border in the neighboring country who ask you if you have done a TDAC and if you haven't they can file one for you

Remember

There is no hang around several hours and wait for the "approval" 😮

it's an INSTANT process,

it's a passive data entry system ONLY, there is no "someone has to approve it".

You enter the data, you put your email in and when you submit it you get an email of having done it

The post a processing time of 15 business days

SO

if you applied April 15th (a holiday) then 15 business days would not be until the 7th of May (the 5th is also a holiday there too)

Email them and see but they post that processing time on their website 🙂

The visa number is NOT a mandatory field

It is 100% OPTIONAL 😉

Only the fields with the red asterisks are mandatory

Leave it blank no one will care at passport control at all

Notice it has no red asterisks 🙂

@Golden ***********

while the chance is small to have your daughter called for an interview it is not zero 😕 so I'd just wait it out where you are, enjoy the holiday and wait for it to be approved then both come back on the DTV's

@Jack *******

i am saying they have interviewed people and I would wager where you are inside indonesia doesn't factor into it if they do indeed want to interview you

I did NOT say that they interview everyone who applies there

You just trying to be disagreeable or fractious or what?

I would say that the O/P should wait it out, get the visa approved and then BOTH enter on their DTV's 🙂

here's the TDAC website 🙂 you can file one from 3 days before your arrival to thailand down until you actually arrive here (and if you can't manage to file one in that time frame they have kiosks at the airports to fill them out after you land)

Those two things have nothing to do with each other 😮

you need a re-entry permit before you EXIT the country and you need to do a TDAC before you ENTER.

You get a re-entry permit at Suvarnabhumi or Don Mueang Airports , just tell the officer when you stamp out that you need a re-entry permit

They will send you to the counter to buy one

@Jack *******

that you don't believe people are called for interviews is on you 😉

They are indeed interviewed at the Jakarta thai consulate in indonesia and where you are in indonesia doesn't matter to the consulate in the least

AND

as Bob said sometimes the embassies as for additional documents 5 day or so after the application is turned in requesting all pages of the passport including blank pages. <- to see if you went back to thailand rather than wait in the country of the consulate you applied at for the visa to be approved (which is how you're supposed to do it)
