If I apply for the DTV visa from Ho Chi Minh, 

do the documents, such as the employment contract, have to be translated and certified into English or Thai, or is just a translation sufficient? Or none of the above? 

The documents are all in German.

Thank you 🙏🏻☺️

When applying for the DTV visa from Ho Chi Minh with documents in German, it appears that translations are required, with English translations being acceptable. Some applicants have mentioned that self-translated copies have been accepted for approvals as well.
