ORIGINAL POSTERI just got DTV in Hanoi, Vietnam today.
- applied on the last Wednesday.
- applied as a remote job employee for Myanmar company
- required documents are as described in their website plus your official stay permit in Vietnam: entry visa stamp to Vietnam and hotel booking confirmation should be okay for that.
- they mainly checked my supporting financial data and bank statement. It's better to prepare your salary pay slips if your bank transactions are not much enough. They wanted see many transactions in your bank statement.
- they will notify your application result and passport pick up date by email. So make sure email address you fill in visa application form is correct.
Good luck everyone

yes. It was because I gave them bank certificate that verify my current balance.Chris ******
Anonymous participant Astounding. I get 5-10 scam calls a day, and 10-15 emails trying to scam. If I do a DTV I will create a new account specifically for this visa and then lock the account.

I’m also planning to apply for DTV in Laos, but I have a concern: I only have 50 million kyats in my Myanmar bank account and 300,000 baht in my Thai bank account, which was opened yesterday. Will it affect my application if I can’t provide a 3-month-old bank statement?

central bank official rate is 1thb = 62 mmk. So, I suggest you have to ask your mm bank to make a certificate/letter that prove your account balance is 50 mil kyats and is equivalent to 800k thb . You need to ask them to include both currencies for your balance in that certificate. Anyway, if you can spend extra budget, I recommend you to apply in Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam than Laos. HMC is more flexible in documents checking process.Din ********

Congrats! It’s not that they wanted tk see many transactions in your bank statement though. They were checking if you were actually a remote employee and not just making it up.
Lo ****
Does the bank statement need to be stamped by the bank or can it be a statement that I can print from my mobile bank (it has a QR code with which you can check the amount in the account)?
Stephen ********
@Lo ***
Print an official statement. It’s not about the statement though. It’s about what’s in it. Proving you are a remote employee/business owner and proving you have the funds.Anonymous *************

Hey, bit of a silly question, but how strict were they with the dress code? Do have to be wearing trousers to enter?
Paul *******
@George *****
Masks probably not required anymore but can't say for sure. What I do know is that the Chinese visa application center, both in Hanoi and Bangkok (and other locations such as Kuala Lumpur) still require masks.Masks are also required at the Malaysian consulate in Bangkok.
Now Masks weren't required when I visited the Thai consulate in Savannakhet, Laos nearly a year ago now but yeah, it wouldn't surprise me if some Thai consulates still do. Having said that, I think they've finally started to move on.

not much. casual wear should be okay.George ******

Best to invest in a pair of trousers. As a matter of fact, I usually wear pants when in Thailand and traveling around the region unless I'm going to the beach, jogging or just going places casually. I always wear long pants to a consulate. A normal t-shirt should be OK.A more important question being it's Thailand and the obsession this country has with mask wearing: are masks still required to get into the Thai consulate in Hanoi?
George ******
@Paul ******
yeah, my problem is i can't find a pair of trousers that actually fit me. I'm too big for asian sizes. it's like I'm putting on children's clothes donno about the masks. but I haven't heard anyone mention it
