Hello, I would like to inquire about applying for a DTV visa outside of Thailand, specifically in Ho Chi Minh City, Phnom Penh, Hanoi, or Jakarta. Could you please advise on which location is the most convenient and easiest for the application process? Additionally, I’ve read that Cambodia may soon require prior appointments for visa applications. Could you kindly confirm when this will take effect? I am planning to travel on October 7th, so any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your assistance. 😊

TLDR : Answer Summary
The inquiry is about the most convenient locations to apply for a DTV visa outside Thailand, specifically in Ho Chi Minh City, Phnom Penh, Hanoi, or Jakarta. Users suggest checking embassy websites for the most accurate information. It is noted that Cambodia will soon switch to e-visa applications, starting next week, thus requiring no in-person applications. Ho Chi Minh and Hanoi will follow suit with e-visa transitions. Jakarta is still processing its e-visa system and may have delays. It's advisable to apply in person in October if needed.

Go to the website of the wanted embassy, and read the visa section.

It would be good if people could read the forum as these sorts of questions have been answered tons of times already. Cambodia is e visa only beginning next week. You won't be applying there in person anymore. Same thing goes for Ho Chi Minh and Hanoi will also move to e-visas shortly thereafter. Jakarta is having technical problems so will probably not move to the evisa system until November or later (but being Thailand they might make a sudden announcement and move to e-visas without much prior notice). Still, anytime in October seems safe if wishing to apply in person in Jakarta.

That works. Laos should still be fine for in person applications until December, but we won't know until we get closer.
