What address and contact number should I use when applying for a DTV visa in Vietnam?

Hi everyone, Australian citizen here 🙋

Currently I have a lease for a condo in Bangkok and about to travel to Vietnam to do my application for DTV visa

With the DTV application form, it states to write "current address." Is it best to write my short term address where I will stay in Vietnam since I'm doing my application in Vietnam or should I write down my Bangkok or Australian address?

Same with "contact number" should I provide my Thai or Australian number or will they need to call me during this process and is it better to just get a Vietnamese sim card and provide a Vietnamese contact number?

If anybody who have gone through this process, was approved, in a similar situation as me and can give me guidance with these questions, that would be greatly appreciated 🙏🏽

Can't be an address in Thailand. So either use Australian Address, you'll need to upload proof of the address like a lease, mortgage, utility. You can upload a bill from the hotel possibly and put Vietnam as your current address. They have switched to eVisa online only from what I've heard...

Where are you going? Hanoi switches to evisa from tomorrow as far as I understand, can we apply online? As I tried putting ‘in vietnam’ and ‘from Australia’ and didn’t work

you need to be IN Vietnam to do your application.

obviously

Hmm. "Current Address," what's the confusion? Is Thailand going after people lacking reading comprehension?

In Vietnam it's evisa

@Siggi ******
That means only locals can apply right?

@Stephen *******
no. you must apply from the country you are “physically in”. wink wink.

@Stephen *******
no, it means you must be in Vietnam to apply via e-visa and wait for approval.
