What is the experience and process for obtaining a DTV visa during the Tet holiday in Vietnam?
First one, (0 questions, not 1 word) also used fast track knowing there was horrendous Tet holiday/Chinese new year crowds, I flew from Phu Quoc Vietnam, start to finish Jan 29-12 longer than I hoped but not bad considering it was Holiday season. (core documents done in 6 days, believe it or not pending approval > approved is what took the longest 7 days, the anticipatory rumination and worry the visa wouldn't be issued before tet shutdown was brutal. But 3 pm Thursday , batch approval hit and I was obviously in the que. Now I'm in! woohoo happy new year to all, DTV vibes! blessed 🙌 🇹🇭

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.

Did you print it out? Or just add it to your TDAC and they didn’t ask to see the Visa. I’m in Phu Quoc too. It’s kind of hard to find a print place lol

@Ian *********
just ensure when completing your online TDAC you enter your dtv visa no. Into the box marked "Visa"Josh *****
OP@John ********
I actually forgot on that part and when I presented the TDAC he said nothing.Josh *****
OP@Ian *********
Yes but he didn't seem to care. I couldn't count to 30 before I was stamped.Waqar ********
I swear after knowing English for 25 years, this was my first time I couldn't understand what was said, what it meant, which points were stressed, and what timelines are discussed. Yes, I admit this post went above my head.

P.S., I read it second time and it's making some sense. I'm so happy because I started questioning my language skills.. Next time, please use more helping verbs, clear nouns or pronouns. Thank You 😊 Best wishes.
