Hi everyone!

I just got my DTV visa approved while I’m already in Thailand on a tourist visa, didn’t expect it, which is why I’m in this situation.

I’m currently in Chiang Mai and was thinking about heading up north to activate it. Or would it be better to just book a flight and do a quick 24-hour round trip?

What’s the best option? Thanks in advance for your advice! 🙏🏼

Applied in LA Dec 16, 2 week soft power cooking. Emailed Jan 2, further documents requested/sent Jan 4, emailed later that day with no response for weeks. Called many times but the line is disconnected. Decided to go to Thailand on my scheduled flight anyway. Emailed the consulate again Jan 26. They requested the same exact documents I previously submitted. I uploaded and emailed, then was approved today.

Hi, What happens if my non imm O visa trough e-visa will be approved while i’m in Thailand with visa exemption?

It will be activated when i’ll enter the next time or? If it is the case the 90 days will start from the approval date or from the date that i’ll re enter the following time?

So I just got my FTV visa approved but I’m in Thailand.

Hello guys, I submited my visa on jan 6, but after contacting the embassy I thought they would not approve it so I decided to come to thailand.

I landed today and got a notification informing me that it was approved.

What should I do now… please help!!

Hey all.

I applied for my DTV in the UK before arriving, but it didn't get processed in time. So I crossed the Thai border on a tourist visa, and frustratingly, my DTV was approved only hours afterward.

Does anyone know if I can re-enter with my DTV on a border run or switch over somehow? It is multi-entry, afterall.

Thanks!

Got my DTV visa this week. How critical is it to go to Thailand in the next 90 days to “activate” it? Or it can happen any time in the next 5 years without issues? The instructions are ambiguous. Thx!

I travel to Thailand on the 30. December and received a 60 days tourist visa. Today on the 4th January I received my DTV visa via email .

Can I go to the immigration office and have my dtv visa ‘activated’ or do I have to do a visa run in order to get it activated?
