DTV didnt got any news for 3 weeks, what to do?

[NoNSmile]

Hi, I have a problem with my DTV visa, I applied for it 3 weeks ago through the website, it was sent to Ankara embassy, I am a Ukrainian citizen but now I am in Georgia but I have all the documents (like residence permit etc.) but the problem is it has been 3 weeks and the document pending status is still not completed and I am starting to worry as my flight is arriving in 2 weeks and I still don't know what to do. But the main question is, can I go to Thailand, get my visa on arrival, stay here until I get a response on my DTV visa (if I didn't get it in time before my flight) and then just re-enter Thailand with my DTV visa?

Are you able to contact the embassy regarding the status?

 

I understand there is no Thai embassy in Georgia. Perhaps your being in Georgia and not Turkey is the issue. Only the Ankara embassy will be able to tell you.

 

With your plan, if you do obtain the DTV, do you intend to do a border bounce to, say, Laos, and then return using the DTV. I would say that carries some risk as the visa will show it was issued in Ankara but you were not there, you were in Thailand at the time of issue and then you popped out to Laos. If you want to use this risky plan, I would use an agency to facilitate your entry.

 

However, there is a good chance you will get an answer from the embassy in the next two weeks.

Your concern is very understandable.

If for some reason you do not receive the DTV in time, suggest that you just stick with travel plans and enter Thailand visa exempt (it's not visa on arrival) 

If your DTV is subsequently approved and you have the e-Visa print out then you should be able to exit Thailand and reenter with the visa.

Do not do that via land border.
