The consulate board
The same DTV — Thailand’s five-year visa — is handled differently from one consulate to the next: different timelines, fees, requirements and odds of approval. Here is the state of each consulate according to our base of observations.

What this board is. All year round we track how every consulate accepting DTV applications works: decisions, document requests, changes in requirements. What you see here is the weather and the filing procedure. The full observation data stays inside the workshop: it is what tells us where and how each particular profile should file.
A monthly summary of the board with commentary goes out in the journal — the “DTV barometer” section. A status is weather, not a guarantee: the outcome of a particular application depends on the profile and the document package.
