Hello,

I am planning to apply for the DTV (Expats type) in Vietnam and am currently preparing my bank account to meet the financial requirement.

Previously, I applied through an agent in Laos, but the documents submitted were not strong enough, so I had to cancel the application. Since then, I have been preparing stronger documents and this time I would like to apply on my own.

I have a few questions:

1. For the financial requirement of 500,000 baht, does the full amount need to be in my account for the last three months, or is it acceptable if the amount has accumulated over time?

2. Since I cancelled my application in Laos, can I reapply in the same country with improved documents, or would I need to apply in another country? Is Vietnam a good choice?

Thank you very much in advance.
Summary so far
The user inquired about applying for a DTV visa in Vietnam, specifically addressing the financial requirements and the implications of previously canceling an application in Laos. The responses from the community clarified that there is no specific 'expat' type of DTV visa, emphasizing that the DTV falls under tourist categories. Additionally, it was noted that the full financial requirement of 500,000 baht must be maintained in the account for three months and that requirements can differ based on the embassy.

DTV is tourist type, far away from “expat-type.

Be aware requirements are Embassy specific !

How can you be so uninformed on your second time around? Spend a week reading through the posts in this group, then ask questions.

There is no DTV expat type. Soft Power or Workation. Both considered as tourists visas.
