What is the process for applying for a DTV visa while working remotely from Vietnam?
Sharing my DTV application process
- Type: Workcation
- Location: Hanoi, Vietnam
- Submitted Documents:
(1) Employment Contract (Remote job), with company stamp
(2) Recommendation Letter from my employer, with company stamp
(3) Company Registration info of my employer
(4) Company Registration Certificate of my employer
(5) Salary Slips for past 6 months, with company stamp
(6) Cover Letter (education background, working experience, responsibilities of current remote role, traveling plan for different provinces in Thailand), with my signature
(7) Bank Statement in English (balance must be more than 500,000 THB)
(8) Passport Bio Page (scanned version), better to scan both bio page and the other empty page together
(9) Arrival stamp page (scanned version), better to scan both pages of the passport including arrival stamp page and the other page together
(10) Recent passport size photo
- Submitted on 31st May 2025 (Saturday)
- Changed status from “Pending Document Check” to “Pending Approval” on 2nd June 2025 (Monday)
- Got Visa Approval on 4th June 2025
Total processing time = 2 Business Days
*Please ensure that all required documents are thoroughly prepared before submission. There is no need to rush the process, as the embassy does not strictly count processing days. Instead, they aim to issue a decision as quickly as possible once a complete and well-organized application is received. Including any additional documents that may support your case can also help facilitate a faster approval.*

This might be a stupid question, but I thought everything is done online now, so do you have to be in Hanoi? I'm based in Hoi An and want to apply, but not sure how to get started.

OPBen Nam Frankly speaking, I was in the another city since nothing much to do in Hanoi, you just need to submit the arrival stamp from Noi Bai Airport if you are planning to choose Embassy in Hanoi. Basically, you can do it.
However, I recommend you to be ready to go to Hanoi for in case of asking location proof but I think they won’t ask you as long as you submit all necessary documents.
Good luck buddy.

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.
