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 π 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.
