Approved in Ho Chi Minh City.

Soft power DTV visa application took 8 business days (total 10 days). There was one public holiday in between. I’m a Myanmar citizen. Used service from Issa Compass agent (they’re great!). Now they’ll submit one for my spouse too.

Submitted on 4th Aug.

Embassy requested further documents on 6th Aug.

Approved on 14th Aug.

TLDR : Answer Summary
A Myanmar citizen successfully obtained a DTV visa through the Issa Compass agent in Ho Chi Minh City. The application process took 10 days, including a response time for requested additional documents. The embassy asked for proof of income and current date/time-stamped photos of each passport page. The total cost mentioned was approximately 44,750 THB, which included visa fees and a Muay Thai course.

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.

@Lee ****
 for me, they asked for 1) proof of source of income and 2) a photo of every passport page with a device showing current date and time (could be to check whether I am still in Vietnam).

Anonymous participant 645 for further docs, they asked for every page of my passport. You can get another device like a phone or laptop (I used my iPad) which is showing current date and time and take a photo of every page of your passport beside that device.

do you think swiping up the metadata on the photo taken on iphone and screenshotting it would suffice?
