What are differences between documentation required by US consulates for DTV?

Hi....i am going to Thailand soon and i would like to know if i have to do a translation of my divorce to English or to Thailandese for Marriage in Thailand with a Thai Lady.......I was told by the Embassy in Lisbon Portugal that i should translate it to English then take it to the Ministery of Foreign Affairs in Lisbon for authentication.....and then bring them with me when i leave for Thailand....my doubt is that i was under the impression it had to be translated to Thai language....Can somebody help me please....Thank You....

Let me share a strange case !

I applied for DTV at Vientiane Embassy and got approved today, but the visa type issued is 'Tourist TR' with multiple entry instead of DTV. I applied for DTV and also paid the visa fees set for DTV.

Do embassies have the rights to give out whatever type of visa they want to without my consent?

Have anyone experienced a similar case? Please share your knowledge on that case if u have any, and kindly leave suggestions for me.

Hi guys, hoping for some help and advice please. We are from UK and planning to Marry in Phuket next month. I have our Embassy appts booked and need to arrange translation for the MFA appointment. Can this be done on the same day? Want to get out of Bangkok asap and off to Phuket. Has anyone done this recently, I can only find old threads on here????

Hello

I am trying to start a DTV visa application online on [members only]/

There is a section where they ask my address and if it's the same as my permanent address.

I chose HCMC embassy in Vietnam thinking that I would go there soon to get the visa hopefully, so am I supposed to write a Vietnamese address in this field? anyone knows?

Thanks a lot!

Hello.

I am currently in Koh Samui but have to leave the country at the end of March to apply for DTV visa.

Thinking about going to Malasia or Laos or going home to Sweden.

1. From which country is it easiest, cheapest and fastest to apply from.

many greetings from Peter

Question on in-person interviews:

Anyone in recent (2025) experience had to do an in-person interview for your application? I'm curious to know if the embassy will give you a window to make an appointment or if they dictate when your interview is going to be?

I see the same sentiments all over regarding already submitted documentation and the embassies get back to you asking for exactly the documentation you have already sent.

In particular for those who sent bigger packages of documentation in the case of applying as freelancer/working remotely.

It seems that very often the staff looking at these documents only fast glance and then very often ask for is already submitted even if you have a cover letter specifying each item included.

What's your experience on the topic?

Hi all! Where in Vietnam can I apply for the DTV? I'm currently on Phu Quoc island, can I apply and get the DTV here? As far as I understand one must apply online, but where do they place the visa sticker in your passport?

I will stay here until end of April. Is it OK if I apply for and get the visa 2 months before I intend to go to Thailand, or should I wait and only apply closer to my travel date?

Thanks in advance!

Hello everyone, I am Chinese and currently working in the Philippines, where can I submit my DTV application? I really appreciate any useful advice and experience.
