Should I reapply for my Thai DTV visa in the US or travel to Vietnam to do so?

DTV Visa Visa Application Process Chicago Consulate Visa Reapplication Misspelling in Visa Application Expats in Thailand Immigration Advice

Oct 1, 2025

Cei ******

ORIGINAL POSTER

Denied DTV visa at the Chicago consulate due to a misspelling on my name. I read the posts in the group over the weekend and freaked out. $400 mistake on my part.

Currently in the process of having my paperwork overlooked by an agency but they’re pushing that I re-apply in Vietnam.

Should I travel to Vietnam and apply from Ho Chi Min or should I stay and re-apply at the same consulate from the US? 

My rejection email from the visa site just states to reapply and I doubt it’d be different at a different consulate unless I’m wrong?

Thoughts?

Yes, you made a simple mistake.

Otherwise you have all of your documents together.

Just re apply at the same consulate and be more careful with spelling of name and numbers of dates and passport.

Good luck!

You don't need to reapply at a different country this time.

Seriously? You need an agency to check you have wrote down your name and data correctly? You can reapply in the states, your application was cancelled and not denied.
