This Facebook Group is a great and informative FB Group, but, specifically for the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV), i would recommend to get more information at another FB Group centered around the DTV, and, you will find many Members and Moderators here also over there

1.) India passport holders can apply for a DTV E–Visa at ANY Thai Embassy/Consulate;

in fact, you perhaps may find it easier and more straightforward to apply at a Thai Embassy/Consulate nearby Thailand than in your "home country" of India

2.) India passport holders can make entry into Thailand with free Visa Exemption entry for a stay of 60 days per entry....

@Paul ******

I was thinking more along the lines that holding an 1-Year Multiple Entry Non–O E–Visa could better assist in Opening a Thai Bank Account more so than anything else in particular.

But, yes, those holding a Non–O based on Marriage to a Thai Spouse, or an Extension based on Marriage to a Thai Spouse can obtain a Work Permit without the need to change to a Non–B Visa

Anonymous participant No, I understand and have seen most Thai Embassies/Consulate say to apply within 3 months of "intended" travel, but life happens, intentions changes, plans are modified....

You have a duly issued DTV E–Visa valid for 5 years. Whether you use it to enter Thailand the same day it is first issued or use it for making entry into Thailand 4 years, 11 months after it is issued for the very first time, it is a valid Thai E–Visa and can use it whenever during its validity period as it is also multiple entry....

No need to really as your DTV E–Visa is valid for 5 Years and the first time to use your DTV E–Visa to enter into Thailand could even be early 2030....

Congratulations!

6 calendar days would be considered by many to be very rapid for the Thai Embassy in Paris!

@Jeremy ********

in my personal opinion, i think in this very unique, specific instance, this Japanese national got an even "better" type of E–Visa than the DTV, albeit the validity period is 1 year, instead of 5 years in that he received a Multiple Entry Non–O E–Visa without printed remarks

Anonymous participant Did you have a DTV preliminary consultation with the Thai Embassy in Tokyo BEFORE submitting your DTV E–Visa application on the Thai eVisa website??

When did you have a DTV preliminary consultation and what did the Thai Embassy in Tokyo say about your DTV E–Visa application??

Anonymous participant How much did you actually pay for the DTV E–Visa??

Was it ¥52,000.- Yen, ¥26,000.- Yen, or some other amount??

Anonymous participant 476 if you selected the Thai Embassy in Vientiane or the Thai Consulate in Savannnakhet, does it show a Payment Section or if it does show a Payment Section, then does it show THB ฿∅ Zero Baht ???
