I'm applying for the DTV in HCMC now.

I'm thinking of moving to Da Nang today.

Is someone required to be physically present at the HCMC embassy for additional documents?

Just wondering if it's worth staying around, or if it doesn't really matter.

How long did it take to go from pending document check to pending approval in HCMC - Vietnam?

My DTV visa expires mid-January. I would most probably like to extend my stay in Bangkok. Life is so nice here. Does that mean that I am going to get taxed in Thailand? And if yes, what are they going to tax exactly? And how could they ever check on my income? Some is here, some is there… I suppose I would have to find myself a local accountant?

Any thoughts?

Has anyone been able to obtain their DTV as a digital nomad/freelance solely using their NON MONETIZED YouTube channel as a portfolio? If you have, I would love to hear about how you did it. Thanks in advance.

Has anyone had experienced changing from Non-O marriage visa to DTV?

Or know if the Non-O needs to have expired?

Thanks in advance.

I got married in Thailand, and I have Thai children. I want to apply for a DTV VISA. My Thai bank account deposit and withdraw 400,000 THB every month, but I have recently encountered some problems and now I want to start the process over.

Can anyone guide me on how long the 500,000 THB needs to be in the account? Also, will my current bank transactions be helpful for the visa application?

Thank you for your help! 🙏

I was told by a visa agent that I can apply for the DTV visa at any embassy online. It doesn't have to be the embassy in the country where my passport is issued or the country where I am currently working. I've been told that some of the embassies in Asia (Cambodia, Vietnam and Indonesia) have quicker turn around times. As I plan to travel soon this would be advantageous to me. Does anyone know if this is true or has anyone done this yet?

Specific question regarding bank statements - I plan to go to Vietnam this week to apply for the DTV soft power option. I have the 500K THB equivalent in a bank account for more than six months. The problem is that my most recent statement only shows my balance until October 30th. Has anyone had an issue with that? Any advice?
