ORIGINAL POSTER

I am a UK resident currently in Phuket.

I'd like to apply for DTV but I don't want to travel to the UK to do it as I understand I can fly into Vietnam and apply there.

Has anyone done this or has information on the best way to do this please?

Welcome to the group, read through or use search function to get up to speed on what works where and for how long. You can apply at almost any local consulate, all you need to do is be present in that country to begin the DTV application process.

Do you want to be in Vietnam for a couple of weeks to do nothing else than waiting for the visa to be approved / rejected.
