Just entered Thailand for the first time on my DTV through Suvarnabhumi, and happy to report no issues. Handed the IO my passport, passport sized copy of my DTV, and boarding pass. There was no request to see my TDAC. She stamped me with an out date of March 30, 2026.

Hanoi DTV:

I saw somewhere that after October 25th there are no in-person applications. What does this mean for DTV applications in Hanoi?

I think it still means I would need to be in Hanoi/Vietnam for the sake of the local address etc, but besides there really isn't anything different?

Not needing to show up in person, is a good thing right?

Hi! I have a DTV and my question is, do I still need to go to imigration to report within six months?

I heard that I need to go every 90 days to so.

Cheers

Thinking of cutting out the middle man and just sending the monthly money to my wife. I have a lump sum for visa extension purposes. Anyone know how long a bank account can remain dormant before being closed/locked by the bank?

To anyone with a Muay Thai Softpower DTV. A question they will try catch you out with at the airport is. Will you be fighting in Thailand? The answer is No you are only here for training.

Kind Advice Requested...

I applied for my Muay Thai DTV in Hanoi. My application was canceled, saying that I didn't have enough months left in my passport.

So we hoofed it over to the Embassy and filed for new passports.

I just got word that our new passports are arriving early next week, so I have to re-apply. Do I re-apply at Hanoi, or do I have to switch to HCMC? You switch cities if you get a rejection, right? But for a cancelation, you can re-apply at the same location?

Please let me know if you have actual experience with this.

No annoying gripes or jabs, thanks.
