Hi everyone. I’m planning to apply DTV from HCM city, but I think due to changing to e visa application process, there’s no booking date at all. Does it mean we can’t apply in person anymore in HCM city?

Thanks so much in advance.

only possible once you enter the country and you have to upload evidence that you are in country (usually entry stamp, or something similar).

There’s no walk in application in hcmc.

Try Hanoi, you can go there without appointment and hand in your application.

depending on the date you plan on going, consider sending them an e-mail or check their fb page. They are switching to e-visa application in hcmc starting October 8th. Hanoi could follow 🤷‍♂️
