🚨 BIG DTV CHANGE FROM AUGUST 31
This has now been publicly announced by multiple Thai embassies, including:
- Royal Thai Embassy, Vientiane
- Royal Thai Embassy, London
- Royal Thai Embassy, Dhaka
From August 31, DTV applicants will generally only be able to apply in a country where they are a citizen or permanent resident, and a police clearance certificate will also become mandatory.
The Thai eVisa system is also going offline for a full system upgrade on August 30, just one day before these rules begin, so the timing is very likely related.
