ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi everyone! 👋

I’m Lithuanian and currently staying in Vietnam. I want to apply for the new Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) but the process seems a bit confusing.

My documents (like work contract and company registration) are in Lithuanian — I’ll translate them to English, but I’m not sure if they need to be “authenticated by the Thai embassy” or if that’s still required with the new online system.

Has anyone applied for the DTV visa from Vietnam recently? Did you use an agency? Any advice or success stories would really help! 🙏

Thanks in advance! 🙌

TLDR : Answer Summary

A Lithuanian expat in Vietnam is seeking advice on applying for the new Destination Thailand Visa (DTV), particularly regarding the need for document translation and authentication by the Thai embassy. Community comments suggest applying at the home country embassy for better clarity on required documents, and that translations might need notarization depending on the agency's practices.

Notarization:

Documents may need to be notarized by an authorized body or a diplomatic/consular mission. "

That’s why it is best to apply at the homecountry Embassy, They will know the “standard” documents supplyed from that country.

There are lots of answers to the questions, to be found by using the search function for that specifik Embassy.
