Hello, any stories of successful (or even unsuccessful) applications for DTV in Manila? I'm wondering if the embassy there is a quick turnaround like Jakarta or strict like Taiwan seems to be? I've searched the group and not much posts.

# Has anyone applied for a visa in Kota Bharu, Malaysia or the Philippines?

Did anybody ever get a COE issued from Thai Embassy Manila over the weekend?? Been waiting 10 days for approval now and getting nowhere.

Having big problems getting final COE from Thai Embassy Manila.. 8 days and no word.. No reply to emails..

Anyone else have similar issues? Did you get a result on time?

Does anybody have any experience with the Thai Embassy in Manila? I only need a tourist visa.

Website says "two working days" for processing. I presume that means drop off one day and pick up the next? I'd call them to double check but it is out of office hours now.

Hi there! Looking for some (somewhat urgent advice). I'm working for a registered foundation but will need to change from the non-f visa to a non-b, as I have got a new job for a (corporate) company.

The visa peoplefrom the company are telling me I'll need to leave the country and apply outside for a new non-b visa. They have said that they can only apply for the (new) WP3 once I leave the country (never heard of that rule before but they insist it's true). First question: is that correct - that they have to wait until I leave to get the new WP3?

I have a trip planned to the Philippines anyway. I could extend my trip there and stay in Manila in order to apply at the Thai Embassy there. However, I've read some bad reports online basically saying it's a nightmare.

Second question: Does anyone have any experience applying for a non-b in Manila? (I'm not a Filipino pp holder). Any strange requests for documents?

The visa people I'm dealing with have said they'll need to send the new original docs to my Manila hotel which creates some possible issues.

The other option is coming back from the trip and going to VTN and doing it there, which is straight forward, but requires another trip instead of just doing it while I'm in the Phils.

Third question (opinion): which of these options would you go for? I need some advice as i need to book the Tix. Thanks!

Hello everyone. I have two questions. Hoping I can get help.

1. Has anyone here (non Filipino) applied and received a Thai Tourist (60 day) Visa at the Thai Embassy in Manila?

2. The Thai Visa Application Form asks for the Name and Address of the Local Guarantor, is this necessary for the Tourist Visa?

Thank you
