How long is the cooking school course of study you submitted with your DTV Visa Application.…6 or 12 months ?

Where's the course held...Bangkok?

What is the cost of the course which you paid to the cooking school ?

Did you prepare for submission your DTV Visa Application?

Or did an agent prepare your application and you submitted it following your arrival into Vietnam ?.

What is your passport nation?

Thank You for your helpful report 👍

Congratulations 👏👏👏

PRINT OUT THE EMAIL THAT HAS YOUR DTV VISA.

That's what you should do... print it out.

You may have to show PROOF of your DTV Visa to airline staff on check-in for your flight ✈️ to Thailand...even to the connecting airline staff. Or to the land border crossing entry Thai Immigration Officer.

Upon arrival into Thailand, show the DTV visa to the Thai Immigration Officer and look at the STAMP placed in your passport to be sure you are STAMPED in for 180 days.
