Hi everyone! I’m planning to apply for a DTV and I need to provide an employment letter.

Can anyone share what information the employer needs to include in that letter?

Appreciate your help!

Does anyone know the seasoning requirements for the funds for applications in Hanoi?

The embassy is hard to get in contact with.

Many thanks

In indo, Request Documents were submitted on Monday ( 25 Nov ) and are showing pending documents until today ( 1 Dec Monday )

Is that normal or Is something wrong?

Hey everyone 👋

I’ve downloaded the ISSA app today since they claim to offer a money-back guarantee and handle all the document checks for the DTV visa. Before I go ahead with everything, I wanted to ask if anyone here has experience with them?

A couple of things I’m unsure about:

1️⃣ They keep requesting an employment statement from an employer. We’re self-employed and our company is registered in Dubai. Has anyone in a similar situation gone through this?

→ Which documents did you provide?

→ Did you create an employment contract for yourself, or how did you handle it?

2️⃣ I know I can search in the group, but the information is sometimes outdated or conflicting. So I’d love some recent first-hand feedback:

Has anyone recently applied for the DTV in Ho Chi Minh or Hanoi and where did the process go faster for you?

I’ve seen mixed opinions — sometimes people say HCMC is slower now, others say Hanoi has longer waits. So if anyone here has current insights or a recent timeline, it would be super helpful 🙏

Thanks a lot in advance! 🙌

I replayed for dtv visa yesterday from Norway. And in evry spot where I could set in files it was max 3 mb. So hard to send all the information. And they did not ask for passport stamp and the pages, felt that was pretty weard, how can they know im im Norway when I applay

Hi folks, could I get a DTV if I book some dental work to be done in Thailand? Is relatively easy, simple?

I'm in and from the U.K.

Thankyou in advance for any helpful replys

Hello, I am exploring the idea of getting the DTV visa via Muay Thai training. Looking for gyms in Bangkok, since that is where I plan on living. Anyone have any experience that they can share pros and cons? Any recommendations on legit approved gyms that work with DTV visa applications?

Hi. I’m an Australian, I’m traveling in Europe now., and I don’t intend to go home anytime soon. I’ve just lodged a DTV application online and I’ve chosen the Thai embassy in Sydney. My question is, will they call me to request a face to face interview? Do I must be in Australia during the visa application process?

Quick question: I have an Elite visa that is about to expire, and I plan to switch to a Non-Immigrant O (marriage) visa. My plan was to go to Savannakhet, show my 400,000 THB bank letter, and apply there like people used to do.

But I just saw an announcement from the Royal Thai Consulate in Savannakhet saying that starting 1 January 2025, all visa applications must be submitted through the e-Visa system, and applicants can no longer submit passports or documents in person. It also says you can only apply once you are already outside Thailand.

Can anyone confirm if this is really true?

Is Savannakhet now 100% e-Visa only with no walk-ins for any visa type, including Non-O marriage visas?

Is this the same way for all other consulates?

If anyone has recent (2025) experience, please let me know. Thanks!
