ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi everyone,

I am currently in Vietnam and am planning to apply for DTV. Is it possible to apply at the Thai General Consulate in Ho Chi Minh or do I have to fly out to Hanoi to submit at the Embassy? 

Cheers!

TLDR : Answer Summary

You can apply for the DTV visa online through the eVisa web portal. Your application destination depends on your location in Vietnam; if you're in Ho Chi Minh City, you can apply there, whereas if you're further north, you may need to apply through the Thai Embassy in Hanoi.

Take the basic DTV Qualification Test to see if you're eligible for the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV).

Umm ALL applications for visas are done thru the online eVisa web-portal

Depending on where you are in Vietnam you apply either thru the consulate at HCMC or in Hanoi

It is an online application. Whether you apply to Hanli or HCMC depends on where you are in Vietnam when you apply.

What documents are required for a DTV application, and must I remain in Hanoi during processing at the embassy?
