Hello everyone, I want to apply for a DTV visa through soft power (seminar) next week. (Turkish Passport)
Which do you recommend? The Thai Embassy in Hanoi or the Thai Consulate in Ho Chi Minh City? or another country?

Never come to Ho Chi Minh Consulate. There is no reason to refuse you.
From our experience under Thai Soft Power category, the embassies seldom accept cultural activities except for Thai Boxing classes or Cooking Classes.
Additionally, the seminar or activity should not be online. It should be physical classes. Regarding the different embassies, there are not much differences between embassies in Vietnam. Other popular countries people choose to apply the DTV visa from are Indonesia, Philippines and Laos.
Feel free to reach out if you have more questions. We've assisted over 250 applicants successfully get their DTV visa through our cooking programs so we are quite familiar with the process! :)
