Are there any Bulgarians that have applied for the DTV visa online by selecting another embassy and can you share your experience?
I applied on the 29th of January online through the Thai embassy in Copenhagen Denmark as I live in Denmark and my company is registered here but my application is still pending approval. I have also not gotten any requests for additional documents.
I know the process can take much longer but I read here in the group that people from Romania and Bulgaria have come across some issues and I was not sure if that happens in general to nationals from our countries or just when people apply through the Bulgarian/Romania embassies.
I submitted all my documents to TTB Bank on Monday to open a bank account, and today they called me, saying they can't proceed due to a new policy. They now require a Payroll Account in Thailand, which is impossible for DTV holders since we can't work here.
Has anyone successfully opened a bank account with TTB recently?
Is anyone on an education visa and has left the country and come back in ?
I'm curious to what the thai test is that that they do at immigration.
I have been paying a private tutor to help me learn thai for the last 5 mo ths because I wasn't learning in class, but I do struggle to learn ap I'm not good and I'm abit worried 😅
* People should really avoid Malaysia if going down the Muay Thai route. I am now being asked to write a presentation on another gym? We are "Muay Thai Fever" and submitted all the usual documents the request was "Kindly attach a picture of a Muay Thai gym or a presentation about Tiger Muay Thai." So of I go to research a gym 1000 km away to fulfil the embassy requirements for my customer. Because we all know we cant say they made a mistake 555555
Has anyone applied at the HCMC consulate in person? I know everything has moved online, but I keep hearing about problems with the online applications overwriting, autocorrecting, and generally not working, that I'm wondering if I can just fill it out and drop it off there, no mistakes. Any thoughts or insights?
Hi everyone may i ask has anyone has been rejected the DTV visa all the documents I apply is correct and as the check list there is no more documents asking or anything just rejection email
I applied for the DTV visa in Hanoi. Got requested for further documentation twice. Third time, after nine days, they said I can't get DTV since my tourist visa is still valid for one and a half month more, but that I can come back reapply at the end of next month when the tourist visa has ended. I had read through the rules many times before going to Hanoi to apply, and had never heard of this rule. When I asked where this rule was stated, Thai embassy in Hanoi couldn't give an answer. I thought that the DTV visa replaced current tourist visa. That is what other people in this group have said. Has this happened to anybody else?
Disappointed I traveled back to Thailand. At the airport, I got stopped. Thought it was just a routine control first, but it ended up with them detaining me and sending me back to Vietnam. Because they said I have been on multiple entry tourist too long, even though I still have one and a half month left. So now I'm basically stuck. I can't get the DTV visa because my tourist visa is still valid, and I can't enter Thailand because they said they don't think I am tourist and that I should already have the DTV. Don't know what to do really
I just got my DTV approved, but my visa came back with my name switched. We koreans only have a first and last name, no middle name. So i didnt fill this part. DTV comes out with my first name backwards. And even beforehand i had sent emails to visathaiembassy.kl @gmail.com to no reply and when i went to the thai embassy here the Malay lady just shouted at me saying she cant do jack 😭🥹 does anyone know what can be done? Or does anyone know where i can get a reply from?
