About to submit my DTV application from Ho Chi Minh, does anyone know if you need to show proof of accommodation in Thailand? I will bring proof of my hotel booking in Vietnam.

Thank you!

TLDR : Answer Summary
When applying for the DTV visa from Ho Chi Minh, proof of accommodation in Thailand is not required. Instead, the application form asks for a proposed address in Thailand.

Just applied yesterday. They did not ask for proof. On the application form, they ask for "proposed address in Thailand"

one more thing, you need exact amount as they will not give change. so bring lots of 20 dollar bills as those were the ones commonly refused
