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.

Walk in walk out I did it 3 months ago 3 people in the q, easy, 10 minutes max the only advice I would say is what ever price your visa is, organize it in dollars first, that was a real pain in the bum not knowing that....if you need a great 5 star place to stay for 280bht a night 44 bo street, little Hanoi hostel boutique, I will stay there every time now, and every grab driver knows it. Enjoy.....I loved it"

280Baht per night? That's got to be 'back-packer' territory....

it is walk up service. They MIGHT ask for proof you're comin' back to thailand (but seeing as most people who get visas come right back that shouldn't be a problem ;) )
