Hi!

Need a visa agent to support me and my VN gf with DTV visas. I'm Lithuanian. Have the needed money on account, just don't want to do it through my embassy in person, as it's in Denmark. I'm in VN now, would be best to solve all here or online. Any options?

Thanks!
Answer summary
A Lithuanian expat is seeking help to obtain DTV visas for himself and his Vietnamese girlfriend while in Vietnam. He wants to avoid going through the Danish embassy in person and is looking for agents or online alternatives. Community feedback suggests applying directly without an agent if the necessary paperwork is in order, as using an agent may incur unnecessary costs. Other comments emphasize that both individuals will need to apply for their own DTV visas, especially since a girlfriend cannot be included as a dependent. It is advised to verify the required financial documentation when applying for the visa.

Thanks everyone for the headsup! I'm planing to return to Lithuania in January and would leave for Thai in February directly, found out that we do have a Consulate who handles the DTV visas in Lithuania apparently. Though not sure - the webpage doesn't work, sent them an email. This one I'll figure out either way - as if I'm not obliged to be there in person, I could apply from Vietnam then in the worst case. Still much better, as heading to Denmark and "sitting" there 😉 Another question - do I have to show the last XXX monthly income to my company, or proof of 500 k Baht is enough on my bank account? I do have more there, but no stable income for now. Have also own company, but no operation this year, last year income was ~ 40 k. Do they require to show stable workflow (like contracts, invoices, company bank statements with money "movement" etc.) or will the proof of my personal bank account with 500+ k Baht be enough? (over a year in the account). THANKS!

Get all the necessary documents together yourself make sure they are in PDF you can join the documents together using I love PDF and submit when you are ready it’s cheaper in Vietnam to do it yourself and it’s a simple process just answer the questions pay the money wait for the approval

As far as i Know Denmark have not changed as other embassies, that money needs to be in bank/banks for months since I got my DTV statements only needed for the day you send application and applicants name need be on statements. Atleast not changed on thai embassy Copenhagen homepage yet , and it's that embassy that approv your visa as long you are in Denmark. You can only apply for visa online in Denmark true the official thai e visa system, no visa is issued in person,

Gør det selv, en agent fra Thailand kan ikke hjælpe dig i Danmark, og det er tilrettelagt så almindelige mennesker selv kan ansøge.

Desuden er agenter meget dyre til DTV.

Ansøger skal opholde sig i ansøgningslandet under HELE visa processen, selv om det er online ansøgning.

Det bedste er altid at ansøge i hjemlandet hvorfra hovedparten af dokumentationen stammer fra, da den Ambassade ved hvordan “standard dokumenter udsted i det land ser ud, og kan læse dem, uden der skal bekostes oversættelse og evt. verificering.

Desuden spares rejse og ophold i et 3. land, når der ansøges hjemme fra sofaen, og da visaprocessen kan tage op til flere uger, er der en del st spare.

If you are in Vietnam you apply through whichever Vietnam consulate serves the area where you are currently located. You each need to apply for your own DTV visas

It's only 10k baht to do yourself. I've just flown across se Asia to do it after being quoted 75k baht by my visa agent for what is in reality a 10k baht visa. Agents really shouldn't be so greedy with a visa that's as all over the place and unstable as the dtv. I can understand paying that much for education visas as it includes a course and your almost guaranteed to get it most the time but this DTV visa is very different.

Imagine paying 75k then getting rejected. You'd be so annoyed lol

Crazy money. If an agent gives advice and quality assured your application before submission I think a 10-12k THB is fair. I woukd also expect they off a full refund if rejected as long as you were fully honest with them

Penang is a good option tho, everything is done online but need to be there as definitely they will request you to send a picture of the stamp in your passport

Anonieme deelnemer 929 Why should you go to Penang and apply there when you are in Vietnam?

Malaysia is not known as the easiest country to apply.

Do it yourself. Ask any questions here. If you really want an agent choose one that offers money back guarantee and then only for document checking before submission. Good luck
