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.

Anonymous participant —one question, though. I don’t have bank statements for 3 months. I got a distribution from my IRA and am a freelancer for my own LLC. The reason I want to apply outside of the US—in Hanoi, is to bypass that requirement, but I have the funds.

Hanoi less strict and seem to have better approval rate than HCMC. Search the group, many recently had rejections at HCMC

Anonymous participant 716 —Thank you! 🙏 I’ll search the group. It’s just I have a friend in HCMC, plus I’ve never been to Hanoi; however, if the restrictions are less, then absolutely I’ll go there instead.
