Hi everyone!

I got my DTV Visa (Muay thai) approved yesterday in Hanoi. I applied on Saturday, so the approval took in total 3 business days! ☺️ they did not ask for additional documents.

I would be happy to help if some of you have questions regarding the process!

Also, do you guys think I need to print the visa before going back to Thailand? Or am I ok with the pdf document on my phone?

TLDR : Answer Summary
A user recently shared their successful experience of obtaining a DTV Visa for Muay Thai in Hanoi, with the approval process taking only 3 business days without any additional document requests. They seek advice on whether to print the visa or if a digital copy on their phone would suffice. Several commenters congratulated them and provided useful advice, recommending that the visa email be printed for proof when traveling to Thailand, as it might be required during check-in or at immigration.

Thanks for your help. May I ask where do you stay in Hanoi? Or near Hanoi? Do you know Hanoi and HCM which one is easier?

Thank You for your helpful report πŸ‘

Congratulations πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

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.
