Hi guys, is it possible to not fill out the TM30 upon arrival, but stay for 2 nights at a hotel before doing the 90-day report? I landed 2 days ago, but yesterday was bank holiday, and today immigration made things too complicated for me, so I couldn't get it.

Hi All,

On my Third document request from KL, applying via Musy Thai, I have already submitted a 6 month statment with a balance of £17,000 and have been asked for 3 months ‘certify by the bank’. I bank with NatWest and they don’t offer such service? Any advise

Hello everyone 🇻🇳

I’m currently in Ho Chi Minh applying for the DTV visa. I’ve made a submission yesterday and the embassy just requested some additional ones, specifically my CV or portfolio and examples of my work that show what I do professionally.

I’m a social media manager and mainly handle content and accounts for a single creator but I’m not quite sure what work examples to provide.

Would it make sense to include things like:

• Videos I’ve edited or campaigns I’ve managed

• Screenshots of posts or analytics

• Photos of me with the creator at events

If anyone has gone through something similar, I’d appreciate your advice on what to include and how to present it.

Thanks in advance for any tips! 🙏

Has anyone done visa recently in Hanoi?

Are we allowed to enter the embassy to do it or is it online the same as Ho Chi Minh?

Thanks

Any help appreciated. Just had a request for additional information from the Australian Thai Embassy.

I'm unsure what I need to provide for the "business registration of my company", as it isn't my company, I work for the Company and have provided my statement of employment. Also stated that I an employee and remote worker.

"Other request documents: Please provide a business registration of your company."

My dtv got rejected I had all documents but I think they were funny about how long yhe 500k baht had been in my bank, but over the span of 3-6 I’ve had at least 1.5M baht through my account.

This was at Ho Chi Minh.

I’m going to Hanoi tomorrow to try again.

Any advice or is it not worth retrying
