What is the experience like applying for a DTV visa at the Thai Consulate in Hanoi, Vietnam?

Read the Embassy website about visa very thoroughly, to avoid problems / misunderstanding.

I recieved dtv in Hanoi last week. They were really fastidious. Need accommodation print out for Vietnam, accommodation print out for Thailand, 6 month bank statements with monies in the account for that time, work contract/or letter from employer notarised, asked for pay slips however could show them the income into the account on 6 month statements. $340 US dollars for application also.

Best of luck to you!!

You can book an appointment online, but they didnt seem too worried about that..also print shop around the corner in case they want any additional info. Lodged Monday and collected the Friday (but was ready on the Thursday).

I got my OA there this year and the staff were fine. Few issues on my side, so I had to go a few times, but they spoke English well. This review just seems like one person’s experience as met a handful of others there who didn’t have these kind of issues.

Also, it was rarely busy so never had to wait, even though I had to book an appointment. They just said turn up whenever.

The staff is just the person who receives the documents, and the person who approves them is Thai. You just need to prepare all the documents. My friend and I both received the visa after 3 working days.
