You guys rock!!! Arrived in Hanoi last Friday the 19th, submitted all documents needed. Sat around and waited, 24th they asked for a copy of my Vietnam Visa Page and a better picture of my Vietnam Wntry stamp page. 26th I checked all day, no update, figured I’d check one more time at 5pm. APPROVED!!

🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 Merry Christmas Present to me!!!

Any success storys about people with DTV opening Bank account? any tips and advice?👂🏻👀

Approved in Saigon / Thanh Pho Ho Chi Minh.

I did not season the account. I transferred the money ~3 days before applying.

I did not use an agency.

I am not a freelancer: I am full time employed for over 2 years at the same job.

I submitted W2 statements, not my full prior 2 years taxes.

I drew a bright red box on the bank statements for my "income" transactions

I submitted my payroll statements for the past 6 months, all 12 of them :(

I work remotely for an international company that operates in Thailand (think Agoda, but not Agoda). There was no concerns from them about me needing to get a Thai work permit instead of DTV.

My employer let me generate a "This kid works remotely for us and earns $XXX/mo"

As an American, any important currency numb ers (like bank account totals or income letters), I converted to Thai Baht, so they would not be confused with SGD / HKD / etc which uses the same currency symbol, but is lower value (which could put you at risk for being below limits if misunderstood).

Second entry with dtv at DMK. Zero questions.

Hi, my DTV application has been pending for about two weeks and I need to fly next Monday.

I just wanted to check if entering Thailand before the DTV is approved would affect my application. If I travel in first, would I still be able to return to Singapore and re-enter Thailand again once the DTV is approved?

Applying from Singapore embassy.

Thanks in advance for your advice.

Quick question with the dtv do you need to have an income ? Why if your quitting work and have plenty money to last you the 5 years . Or is it better to have an income coming in ?

Hello everyone!

I flew out of the country a week ago via BKK Airport. My DTV stamp is valid until March 2026. However, they did not stamp my passport with a departure seal.

I contacted the consulate here, but they didn’t have any useful information. I emailed Immigration (saraban_imm@police.go.th) on the 24th, but of course I haven’t received a reply yet due to Christmas.

Just curious, has anyone else experienced leaving the country without receiving a departure stamp at the airport?

Have the best holdidays!

For those who work as freelance, what business registration do you use? I have a client I work often with and thinking about using that? But it's not monthly payments but project based.

Are dtv visa's getting approved on holidays?
