Any Indian citizens who applied for DTV from HCMC?

Am planning to apply for DTV from HCMC under workcation category. Have been working a full time job in the US for last several years, but now with H1B renewal stuck in processing, want to work from Thailand to avoid changing my tax residency in India.

Are there any other Indian citizens (passport holders) who worked for an employer outside India, who applied for DTV from Vietnam? Would love to know your experience and anything I should keep in mind during the application process. Thanks

Hi, I didn't apply from HCMC although I was planning to, earlier. However, my visa agency suggested Manila, Philippines, so, I did it from there. My interview process was cumbersome and quite detailed. I applied in the soft power category and they asked for all the documentation and financial proofs, so it's better to be thorough. Also, they asked to show the financial proof in real time by logging into my bank account via the phone. However, once your documents and responses are satisfactory, they process the visa within a day or two. Overall, you need to be thorough with your documents and application. I had applied through an agency 'Isaa Compass' who were extremely supportive throughout the process. Although you can apply by yourself, I just wanted to play it safe by using an agent as they also give a money back guarantee. Additionally they communicate with the embassy on your behalf throughout the process (except during the interview) and draft your application in an extremely professional way. So, I found it to be a safer approach. Just make sure to have everything in order along with a good reason to travel to Thailand and you should be ok. Good luck. 😊
