I applied for DTV from the embassy in KotaBharu Malaysia and it has not been approved since January 12. I have been calling the embassy for the last 3 days and they give me the same answer every day "It will be approved today" Now I want to go back to Thailand. Has this happened to anyone before?

How long will it take to get approved after submitting the further requested documents ?

Hello, I have a few questions, and maybe some of you can help me:

1. I'm looking for the cheapest soft power activity/course that can grant me the letter for the DTV.

Do you have any contacts or suggestions?

2. Which embassy has been the smoothest in your experience with the fastest processing time?

I’m willing to fly anywhere.

3. Is it possible to fly in and out as many times as we want with the DTV?

Thank you for taking the time to read this. Even if you can answer just one of these points, it would be really helpful. 🙏

12 Days and no word...still "processing"...is it because of the holidays? Anyone else experiencing delays?

Quick update: as I heard , the embassy in hcmc vietnam takes quite long. Since everyone is now rushing to this embassy because they think it's faster. So now It's been 6 or 7 days now and some people still haven't got their dtv. Just to let you guys know. Maybe Taiwan or Jakarta will be quicker now.

Hi there, I if i apply online for a DTV from my home country,(USA) how long does it take to approve? thank you

Chat GPT says 3-7 days, but a friend told me more like 3-4 weeks

I feel like I'm getting rejected...Has anyone waited 10 working days ? It is still pending document check.

Well my date of arrival is on 10 September on the application. My visa is always on pending approval.. sended email to the Embassy. Nothing. Applied 20 days ago.

Updates : they send me the visa already now!

I have a question to anyone who applied DTV at Hanoi, Vietnam.

They accepted my application and took my passport on appointment yesterday . And they gave me an another appointment slip that said my visa application result will be notified by email. What's the waiting time to be notified by email? A few days? a week or a month?

Does it take 15 days max to process a 6 month tourist visa? Does the process take longer outside home country? If one is not financially able to go to a near by country (hotel, food, processing fee, flight) the best would be to return to country of origin before last run?

Thank you.
