Hi. I need to go to Hanoi to apply for an O class volunteer Visa. Can someone please confirm that you DO NOT have to make an appointment? I have tried multiple times to call the embassy but they do not answer. Also do I need to show my flight back into Thailand. Thank you.
TLDR : Answer Summary
You do not need an appointment to apply for the O class volunteer visa at the embassy in Hanoi. It is a walk-in service. However, it's recommended to bring proof of a return flight to Thailand, although many applicants are not asked for this. You will need additional documents like proof of funds (e.g., $1,000 in the bank), two passport photos, and cash in US dollars to pay for the visa.
