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 ???

Personally, i do not think it is about the Thai Embassy in Vientiane making South Koreans, Malaysians, Singaporeans, Tunisians paying the DTV E–Visa Fee of ฿10,000.- Baht, but more about whether as part of the Biilateral Agreement between Thailand and the other country whether the DTV E–Visa falls under the Visa Fee Exemption Agreement or not between the 2 countries....

Here in this Facebook Group about DTV, there have been 2 successful reports about Malaysian passport holders applying for DTV at the Thai Embassy/Consulate in Malaysia and received the Thai Visa Fee Exemption of RM ∅ Zero Ringgit for their DTV.

However, a Singapore passport inquired several times with the Thai Embassy in Singapore and received an email response saying that the DTV Visa was excluded from the Agreement between Singapore and Thailand. And, a recent Singapore passport holder obtained a DTV E–Visa from the Thai Embassy in Singapore paying the Visa Fee of SGD $500.-

You can certainly apply at the Thai Embassy in Vientiane or the Thai Consulate in Savannnakhet and as you go to the Thai Embassy/Consulate in person to potentially pay cash for the DTV E–Visa Fee of ฿10,000 Baht, you can certainly ask about the Bilateral Visa Fee Exemption between South Korea and Thailand, and if it applies for the DTV, then you can potentially get a DTV E–Visa for Zero, or, if not, then still wish to apply for a DTV E–Visa at the cheapest Thai Embassy/Consulate in the world (Laos) or not....

The easiest answer is:

Login to the Thai eVisa website and fill out an application for a DTV at a Thai Embassy/Consulate that accepts payment via the Thai eVisa website and see whether the price is ∅ Zero or not. You do NOT have to actually Submit an E–Visa application to see the price of the DTV E–Visa....
