Applying in HCMC. I am staying at a family's house. How do you show proof of stay in Vietnam if you're not staying in a hotel?

Hi, I recived this message, can I just send a picture of my entery stamp and my apartment contract? In Vietnam

The Royal Thai Consulate-General would like to request for additional documents as follows:

Document indicating current location: Please update your current location and kindly note that visa processing time is 5 working day. The time is reset once additional document is submitted.

Anyone else receive an entry stamp with added random writing?

And if so, do you know what it means? I can’t even make out what it is… thought it might be a weird signature, but unlikely.

I don’t think I’ve seen many stamps with additional writing posted here and the immigration officer who stamped me in was in NO mood to talk or explain.

Hi friends! So stoked to have the DTV visa! Question for the group: I arrived the other day and this is what my stamp looks like. I understand the rule about leaving every 180 days, I was just surprised this was the format for the stamp. I asked the officer if it was good for five years, and he said yes, and he had given me the first 180 days. Yet, I’ve seen other people with a full page sticker visa that says 5 years. Am I cool? Do others have this same stamp? Or should I be concerned? Thanks for your thoughts!

Not sure if anyone has posted this specific enquiry but here goes: when completing the online application (will submit once in country I am applying from) as you can only submit the passport main pages, how do you prove the Visa entry stamp in the country which you’re applying from? I intend to go to Ho Chi Minh & apply there.

TIA

I'm at the airport now about to leave Phnom Penh. I was here for 16 days but am leaving without a DTV approved.

The embassy asked for additional documents after 5 business days (on a Friday). My work took about 4 business days to provide the documents I needed.

Submitted with 2 business days to spare. Still pending approval.

Documents provided:

- Bank Statement showing sufficient current balances

- Booking confirmation (hotel in Cambodia)

- Letter of Offer from employer / Employment contract

- Standard passport-size photo

- Scan of passport bio page

Additional documents requested:

- Scan of passport entry stamp for Camobodia

- Certificate of Employment

- Company Registration from employer

Hopefully I'll still be approved for my next entry into Thailand -- does anyone know if leaving the Embassy country before approval had any effect on the outcome?

If I were to offer advice, it'd be to provide all the correct documents in the initial application. It'll save the time required to request additional documents. Allow 5 business days at minimum for each interaction with the embassy.

I understand that for 90-day reporting, the first report must be done in person. After that, it seems we can do it online. However, as DTV holders, each entry stamp is valid for 180 days, and we can either leave the country or extend our stay for another 180 days. I have two questions about these scenarios:

1. If we leave Thailand (even for a border run) before the first 180 days are up, and we’ve already completed the initial 90-day report in person, can the next 90-day report after re-entry be done online?

2. If we extend our stay for another 180 days without leaving the country, making a total of 360 days, will the remaining 3 or 4 reports after the initial in-person report be allowed online?

Thank you for your clarification.

For individuals who have renewed their passport in Thailand, is it necessary to visit immigration to transfer the old stamp to the new passport prior to exiting Thailand, or can I simply present my old passport at immigration alongside the new one?

I’m not on a visa.

Hi all, pick up my renewed passport 2pm, need to transfer entry stamp and visa (Elite), is it possible same day if I arrive CW 3pm? Any tips on getting through it quickly? Appointments possible? Is there a better day of week? Bring anything other than old and new passport? Huge thanks
