For those who have successfully obtained their DTV with a Hong Kong passport.

I’m going to apply in Hanoi soon and would like to ask — as a Hong Kong passport holder, what should I write in the ‘Place of Issue’ field? Should it be ‘China’ (the code of the issuing state) or ‘Hong Kong’ (the issuing authority)? Both are shown on the passport’s bio-data page.

Thank you!

Hi - I’m looking at applying for a DTV but instead of the 500,000 THB in my personal account I will be using a financial sponsor through a family member (a parent). Has anyone here got any specific advice that I should be looking to include that might not be as obvious for when I apply that ChatGPT wouldn’t be telling me?

Also which embassy did you use if you chose this option as not all embassies accept this option (HCMC for example looks like it might be 50/50 whether or not they accept financial sponsorship for the visa)

Thanks in advance

I applied thai E-VISA with a one way ticket and the return from another country is this ok??12 days still processing!

When leaving Thailand to comeback to Australia where is the PCR test done and do i have to book it before i leave ?

Would like some advice as to which embassy to visit for my Non B 1 year visa. I have been told to either travel to Penang or to Hanoi. Please read details below before suggesting, as this is not for a visa run or tourist visa.

- My current Visa is a 1 year non b from Penang.

- I have had my work permit for 3 years prior, it is renewed already for the next year.

- I am 49 shareholder in my company

- Our annual tax filing was due at the beginning of this month, we won't be filing these in time for my visa as I am leaving suddenly for work. We have a letter from my attorney explaining this.

I have been told that Penang now had a queue number to take for Non Bs and that they are only processing a specific amount per day, and that most of them are taken ahead of time by agents. Has anyone had any first hand experience of this? I have also been told it's easier to get by in Hanoi as you can talk with someone at the embassy if you need to help figure things out.

Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!
