TLDR : Answer Summary

Several community members shared their experiences regarding visa applications from the Royal Thai Embassy in Hanoi. There were mixed outcomes; some applicants received approval for their DTV visas, while others faced rejections without clear explanations. Participants discussed possible reasons for stricter management at the embassy, including individual past incidents affecting application outcomes. Additionally, recommendations were made for applicants to print approval emails for airline check-ins and to consider applying in different locations, like Cambodia or Laos, if rejections occurred.

Thank You for your helpful report 👍

Congratulations 👏👏👏

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.

Does anyone know what's going on in Hanoi? Was there some kind of change in the management at the embassy? Did someone who got the DTV in Hanoi commit a crime in Thailand and now they are being super strict?

yes, last Friday changed to pending approval. Wait the whole week and now it was rejected. Uploaded boarding pass, Vietnam arrival stamp, hotel bookings, literally everything correctly.

Even the bank statement was from 6 months ago with more than 500k every month.

The only reason that I can think of is that I applied with my friend, sharing a hotel room. Can't think about any other reasons

please check my application and tell me if you miss something from there 🙏. I see a lot of rejections so something major had to change to justify all these rejections. Trying to figure out what it is. My wife is currently there awaiting results and now we are a bit worried to be honest with you
