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 380 you have to show proof that you are staying in any regions under Hochiminh if u apply for HCM embassy - for me, I showed proof of staying in Danang Hotel.

I think after that, u can go visit Hanoi. ( but firstly, you have to show evidence that u are staying in cities under HCM )
