What is the process for obtaining a Thai visa as a US citizen applying from Hanoi?
Hi everyone
first thank you to this amazing group and all the help provided! im posting this as a help to people who are in the same situation as us so please dont come after me with nasty disrespectful comments please!
US citizens applied in Hanoi october 7th
my husband is a remote worker and makes good money! we provide all documents requested ( tax returns, paystub, company registration documents and letter that states he can work remote) except 500k baht! in liue of that we provided his father’s bank account along with a letter explaining he will be our emergency sponsor!
we applied in Hanoi on October 7th. on october 8th they requested proof of relationship with his dad which we uploaded his birth certificate.
approved october 15th
on October 15th we applied for me and my daughter same documents.
on October 16th they requested 3 months bank statements with 500k baht! i uploaded my father in law’s letter and bank statements. few minutes later the status changed to processing pending approval!
today we both got approved.
before we applied i emailed the embassy and explained the situation they responded you can provide sponsorship only from your immediat family. so I was sure there wont be an issue. anyway. good luck to everyone and thank you again for being so helpful

Answer summary
A US citizen shares their experience of applying for a visa in Hanoi, detailing the documentation process, including financial requirements and relationship proof. After submitting necessary documents, including sponsorship from a family member due to not meeting the 500k baht requirement, they successfully received approval for their visa application within days. The post also highlights the importance of having the visa documentation printed for travel confirmation upon arrival in Thailand.

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.
