Hello again, all.

If I'm heading to Vietnam to apply for the DTV (I'm currently in Thailand) should I include the address of the accommodation in Vietnam on the cover letter, or my permanent address back in the UK (I haven't been there for years)?

Any tips on what I should/shouldn't include in the letter? I work remotely and have the funds etc. 

Cheers

TLDR : Answer Summary

The community suggests that it's not necessary to include an address in the cover letter for the visa application. Instead, focus on addressing the letter to the embassy and including relevant details such as your reasons for applying for the DTV, your intention to comply with visa regulations, and a summary of your application documents.

For the cover letter you do not need to put your address as they are not going to write to that address. I just addressed it to the embassy I applied to, that's all. You can Inc reasons for applying for the DTV, your intention to abide by its' rules.

Did you include anything to do with tax returns etc? I've been living/working abroad for 15 years and have paid tax almost nowhere

I submitted my 2023 income/tax for 2 companies i work for . Not compulsory to do so. i applied in Taipei. You do not have to submit tax returns unless specifically asked for.

Damn. I can prove I have plenty of funds in the bank, but I've been travelling constantly for years and have been paying tax nowhere.

That is fine, many approved without submitting tax returns. Taipei is a strict embassy for approval which is why i did it. Vietnam is a very friendly embassy so you will be ok
