Hey everyone, just wondering if I have to be in the same city as the embassy when applying for the DTV. For example can I be in DaNang while applying through the HCMC Thai embassy/consulate?

TLDR : Answer Summary

You do not need to be in the same city as the embassy to apply for a Thai DTV visa. It is permissible to apply at the Ho Chi Minh City consulate while located in Da Nang. However, be aware that qualifications may require you to be in the jurisdiction area of the consulate for submission purposes, and interviews may be conducted to confirm your location.

You need to be in the area that the embassy has jurisdiction over for the submission of the application, after that you can travel around the country but be aware you can be called in for an interview, and Vietnam usually asks for a very specific proof of location.

They may call you in for an interview to prove you are in the region or country.

Both of the Thai consulates in Vietnam have lists of the locations they serve on their websites. You need to be in one of the locations for the consulate you want to use

No, do not have to be in same city. Being in Danang and applying in Ho Chi Minh is absolutely fine

Can I apply for a DTV visa at the Thai General Consulate in Ho Chi Minh City or do I need to go to Hanoi?

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