Can I apply for a DTV Visa at a consulate in Vietnam, Laos, or Myanmar while in Thailand on a non-B Visa?

The best way to find people's experiences in submitting for an application and getting granted the DTV is to do a search on this group, keywords: Vientiane, Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam, Laos or Myanmar. You already have a wealth of experience from a lot of people if you do a search. And no you don't have to go back to your home country. Good luck.

You would probably have to go to the labour bureau and cancel your current non b.

I have a US passport was on a non-B left to laos got DTV in 3 days.

Posted previously: Hello,

I too received the DTV in Vientiane today.

I’m Canadian, have a Canadian holding company and a Canadian residence. I was teaching in Thailand until this past June.

I brought a ton of info with me including Thai bank statements, tax ID card, personal Canadian tax returns. They handed this all back to me.

Beyond the standard photos, passport copies, application etc they reviewed:

- 3 months investment account statements showing 0b each month.

- copy of lease in Chiang Mai.

- AoI from company.

- corporate tax return

- bio of company and myself.

- original signed contract with Canadian client.

- letter from Canadian client which confirmed I would be working remotely.

Essentially they wanted to know: what are you going to be doing in Thailand, where are you living, and how much money you got?

You don’t need an agent. It’s pretty easy, assuming you actually qualify.

Read a few weeks of postings and you will know what to do.

You can do it through/at any Thai office except in Thailand.

Yes, you can travel to another nearby country and apply there. Some you have to physically attend the embassy and others you apply online but still need to be present in the country
