What should I do if I'm waiting for my DTV and want to travel to Thailand?

@Andrea ********

I'll say it once again... For those who are going to apply, stay in the country where they are applying for the DTV visa. We are seeing more requests for ADDED documents as well as an interview in person with the Thai Embassy or Consulate in the county where the application is made.

@Brian ***

understood. BUT we do have newbies here entering Thailand for their first time.

@Ali *****

as of January 1, all applications for a Thai Visa will be done using the Evisa online application system.

@Ali *****

it's only better online ☑️

@Alma **************

Thank you. Yes see you there 👍 stay positive.

@Erin *****

understood. BUT best to wait where you are for the DTV Visa approval.

BEST Wishes for its issue in the coming days 🙏🙏🙏

@James *******

Thank you.

@Erin *****

that's what we have been doing too..losing our flights and buying new flights!

@Alma **************

how long has it been since you applied ?

@Erin *****

it's been 5 days only..lol! Normally others get it in 3 to 4 days..I still have till 30th to throw in the towel.lol! Then I guess I will be off to manila to wait Bec I won't be allowed to Thailand anymore due to our.multiple 90 days stay..keep positive I know things are slow in turkey. We lived there for a year then came back to Thailand..

@Alma **************

I hope we were able to host you well here.I hope things will work out well for you. Also, thank you so much for your support.

@Erin *****

if we get lucky and you happen to be in Chiangmai where we live let me know..would love to meet you. We always stop in turkiye on our way back to Canada or Jordan..

@Alma **************

It would be great 👍 I will let you know.

@Daniel *******

but you bring up an interesting point, A lot of consulates have on their website that you have to be IN that country to apply

the UK for example has it clearly posted

@Tod ********

but in many countrys you dont even get a stamp in your passport. What then?

@Andy **********

then provide another type of justification, hotel booking, driving license, bills etc

@Daniel *******

all that article meant was the few consulates around the world that weren't on the eVisa website will now ONLY be on it <- meaning no walk up in person applications like we had here in S/E Asia

And it's not a stretch at all to be anywhere in the world because right now the system defaults to the consulate covered by the choice you make ... (and most likely will do that once the other consulates come online)

Example;

When you stay you're in the Bahama Islands it picks the thai consulate in Ottawa Canada for you to apply for the eVisa thru

@Will ***********

And that would be a reason to deny you
