TLDR : Answer Summary

Users discussed their experiences with applying for the DTV visa in Hanoi, highlighting the necessary documentation and the overall ease of the process. One applicant detailed that the key requirements included a passport with a Vietnam entry stamp, a visa application form, bank statements in English, an employment contract, and a fee of $340. They noted that the application was handled efficiently, taking about 15 minutes at the embassy, and approval took around three working days. There were also clarifications regarding notarization and the visa application form, with users noting that some flexibility in the process exists.

You should join the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) group. Someone on there applied and was approved from Hanoi. Hope that helps!

I submitted my application in Hanoi last Thursday (it hasn’t been approved yet, but I got past the submission and payment stage and haven’t been asked for additional documents so feeling fairly optimistic). They wanted the following:

- passport with entry stamp to Vietnam to prove current location (I also printed my hotel booking in Hanoi as proof of location and she kept that as well, but not sure it’s necessary)

- visa application form with a photo (you can print it on their website or fill it in there)

- 6 months of bank statements proving the 500,000 thb over the entire period of time (important to note: these have to be in English or an official translation - I initially tried submitting my German bank statements since the numbers and dates are perfectly understandable and the only text in German was the word ‚bank statement‘, my address and the footer - she wouldn’t take them)

- employment contract (since my contracts are always six months I submitted my two previous ones in addition to the current one to show I’ve been doing remote work for a while - not sure this was necessary but she seemed to appreciate it and kept those papers as well). She checked the contract specified my salary and also that it mentioned remote work is allowed.

-340$ (they are able to provide change)

Overall it was really easy if you’ve got everything prepared! They were friendly and I was in and out of there in about 15min 🙂

Hi! I don’t think you need one, but it might be helpful to have if your case is a bit complex or you feel like you need some extra explanation as to why you’re submitting particular documents. I wrote a brief one just listing in bullets what I’m submitting for each of the criteria and she did read it, but I don’t think it’s mandatory. Good luck! 🤞

I heard Hanoi wanted notarized documents, is that true?

This was not true for me! Just submitted regular print outs of the above. As long as you don’t need translations (which need to be legalized by a notary according to their website) I think you should be fine. This might also differ based on what kind of DTV you’re applying for though, so you may want to double check directly with them just to be sure?

no worries! That’s the right form - you just select ‘other visa’ :) but don’t worry too much about filling it all out (I missed some stuff and she just told me what to write and I did it there during my appointment which wasn’t an issue as they spend quite a bit of time checking all the documents are in order so you can use that time to complete the form)

Hey Naomi, hope you don't mind, but I have another small question. Regarding the visa application form, I found one on the thai embassy in Hanoi website, but it's a general one and has no mention of the Dtv visa. Do I use that one or something else
