Can I get my visa approval email on weekends or government holidays?

Elías ********

Yes. My approval was granted on an official national holiday of the HOST country (it wasn't a holiday in Thailand, tho).

Did the employment letter needs to be recent? Or did you use the same you used when you applied for the DTV abroad?

Can I apply for a Thai DTV visa while temporarily in Europe without residency?

@Amanda ***********

It's Embassy-specific. In some you can in many others you can't. For example, when I applied for my DTV in South Korea, only Korean citizens or non-Koreans with residence cards could apply, but no just visitors or tourists. This was in August last year. Rules might have changed since (as you see, they keep changing the rules every time).

Why are Bangkok Bank and other Thai banks closing accounts opened under the DTV visa?

Elías ********

yes, owning a property, having a long term visa/work permit or being married to a Thai national. Without any of those you're up to the luck of the day, but if any of these three, you're totally "safe".

Can I re-apply for a DTV visa in Thailand if my name doesn't match my passport and I haven't paid yet?

Elías ********

@May ***********

no need. If not paid, it doesn't mean a thing. Just create a new one.

Elías ********

Yes, leave the other unpaid, it will automatically disappear from the system in 14 days. You don't need to wait for it to disappear to create a new application, and pay. The Embassy will see and review only the paid ones.

What are the requirements for extending a DTV visa in Thailand, especially regarding address duration?

Elías ********

I won't argue that it sounds like a stupid rule, but, nothing that a short (like same-day) trip abroad can't solve. You can take a flight in the morning, then come back in the evening, and voilà, you get 180 more days.

Participante anónimo 987 yes, and by the Thai authorities themselves, the DTV is "not" a long term visa (I know, this doesn't sound about right, but legally speaking, it isn't one)
