Hi everyone, I'm sorry if this might be asked before, but i would like to confirm for the newest update and situation.

Do we have to season the 500k thb/16k USD for 3 months if I apply through Hanoi? Or is there any other recommendations in the region?

I'm currently on visa exemption and I think I will go with DTV instead of ED visa.

Thank you.
