Anonymous participant okay... Then carefully read the posts about getting the DTV Visa with workcation in posts from those who have filed the application when in Vietnam. Be sure you file it with the correct location of Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City... As you must be in their area of Vietnam when you apply.

Thank You for your helpful report πŸ‘

Congratulations πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

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.
