First entry stamp for my DTV that i issued in Dubai for my Iraqi passport. Entry was quick. No questions. Just showed my DTV pdf on my phone and got stamped 😍.

Hello everyone,

I’m going to Vietnam to apply for the DTV visa. Would you recommend going to Hanoi to do it at the embassy, or applying online from any city in Vietnam? Or another option?

Which option is easier?

Is Vietnam the best country to do it?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks a lot!

To qualify for the DTV do I need to have proof of stable monthly income or 500,000 baht in savings, or is it both?

Did anyone file a document in China (especially Guangzhou)? Did I hear that it's more complicated to get than from a South East Asian country?

Hi everyone! Are you aware whether the Thai embassy/consulate have actually contacted the employer or company to verify the employment contract and other work documents? Just want to prepare in case I need to give my boss or HR a heads up about possible contact. I’ll apply from Frankfurt, Germany. Thanks!

Read the last paragraph if you have a frozen account.

Not a visa question but I hope some can help. I got my International Drivers license from AAA (the only verified U.S. source). It’s stamped and legit. Is there anything I should do when I arrive to help avoid paying fines when stopped at checkpoints? When I previously lived in TH, 20 years ago, that was my biggest frustration-constantly getting stopped. Should I go into a Government office and get the DL verified?

Thank you!

Hi. I am applying for the cooking classes 12 month course with the Canberra Embassy on an Australian passport. I will be quitting my job in 2 weeks, is it okay to put unemployed with zero income as I will be living off my 600k I’ve got saved for now. Thank you in advance.

Hi everyone, I hold an Australian passport and I am in Thailand now. I hope to apply for the MT 5 year visa. Just want to ask a few questions if I may.

- I already have a rental lease for a private property. When I go out of the country to apply for the visa, let’s say December, should I submit the existing lease or change the start date to December and then submit it? Or maybe it’s better to obtain a proof from a hotel?

- Re occupation, is it better to say ‘unemployed’, so that they won’t ask for further evidence such as proof of income?

Many thanks.

Hasn't happened but just wondering.

If you are applying for DTV from Vietnam, and for some reason you are rejected can you still enter Thailand on the 60 day visa exempt etc. I cant see why you wouldn't be able to but just wondering.

Back Story - I will be headed to Thailand in November and will travel with my daughter to Vietnam to apply for the DTV ( soft Muay Thai) then once approved will head back to Thailand with her before heading home
