How long do I have to leave Thailand after receiving my DTV?

Winston ************

Two paragraphs that make absolutely NO sense. The DTV grants 180-day stamp with each every entry during the 5 year validity. It's as simple as that.

Can I apply for a DTV visa in Thailand if my passport expires in 8 months?

Winston ************

Nothing stops you from going to Thailand now with your current passport. As for the DTV, wait for the new passport and use that to apply for it. 2 months: come on.

How can I apply for a DTV in Thailand while living in Ethiopia and bring my Ethiopian dependents?

Winston ************

You would need to be in the US to apply to a consulate there. If you wanna remain in Ethiopia then the Nairobi embassy is the way to go.
