Thank You for your helpful report πŸ‘

Congratulations πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

PRINT OUT THE EMAIL THAT HAS YOUR DTV VISA.

That's what you should do... print it out.

You may have to show PROOF of your DTV Visa to airline staff on check-in for your flight ✈️ to Thailand...even to the connecting airline staff. Or to the land border crossing entry Thai Immigration Officer.

Upon arrival into Thailand, show the DTV visa to the Thai Immigration Officer and look at the STAMP placed in your passport to be sure you are STAMPED in for 180 days.

Anonymous participant sadly you are not alone in the rejected DTV visa application. Try again if you want, but make sure the unloaded spelling data is correct. Or use an experienced agent to prepare the Evisa online application for you to SUBMIT from the country where you are at. Good Luck πŸ€ with your application.

Anonymous participant the USA Thai Embassy and Consulates are friendly to granting the DTV visa...as well as other Thai Visas. SUGGEST you apply for the DTV visa in the USA... Stay in the USA until the decision is known.

Alabama residents use the Ew Washington DC Thai Embassy as their contact for Thai Visas.

You submit your application for the DTV visa using the Evisa online application system.
