Hello, we are in Vietnam and my husband got his DTV after 5.5 working days. In all we will have been here for two weeks when we leave Monday and mine looks like it's still processing. I have 2 questions:

Should we or can we just come in on visa exempt until mine comes through and then leave again?

If it comes through when we land in Thailand, is it enough to be shown on a phone?

I am planning on doing Muay Thai soft power route through a gym in Bangkok.

I am going to leave Thailand and fly to Vietnam, possibly Danang. I can apply for the visa anywhere in Vietnam I take it and await the approval online?

Is it faster to do it in person at an Embassy?

I have heard it can take up to a month to process, what’s people experience with the time of approval?

Thank you

I want to apply for dtv online while staying in Vietnam I understand that it takes 5 days to receive the confirmation by email and then my wife can apply for my visa (follower) if you apply while you are outside of Thailand but enter back to Thailand on a tourist visa before you received dtv is it ok?

SUPER LAST-MINUTE SUCCESS STORY !!!

I’ve been checking the Hanoi and Ho-Chi-Minh embassy websites every hour for the last three days for an online appointment, but everything was fully booked. Yesterday at 2:00 a.m., an appointment spontaneously became available in Hanoi for the same day at 9:40 a.m. I booked the embassy appointment, the flight, the hotel, printed all documents —everything—within 3 hours. Five hours after booking, I was already sitting on the plane to Vietnam. I landed at the airport at 8:30 a.m. and took a taxi straight to the Thai embassy, arriving around 9:50 a.m. Luckily they didn’t mind the 10 minutes delay.

I submitted my documents yesterday (Wednesday) and by this evening, I had already received an email confirming my visa. Tomorrow (Friday), I can pick it up and fly back to Thailand.

My passport is from Western Europe, and I took the Medical Treatment Route.

I’ll make an overview of the total costs.

Costs:

1. DTV Visa 340 USD ~ 11000 baht

2. Flight BKK to Hanoi = 3660 baht

3. Hotel in Hanoi for 2 days = 2000 baht

4. Flight Hanoi to BKK = 1500 Baht

5. Mobile Internet for Vietnam = 430 baht

6. Grab Taxi from my home to Don Mueang airport = 380 baht

7. taxi hanoi airport to Thai Embassy = 800 baht

8. passport photo (70000 VND) 92 baht

9. photocopy (5000vnd) 6.69 baht

Total = ~19.808 Baht

I'm confused. I saw a post on here saying US citizens need to "apply" for a tourist visa when traveling from Vietnam to Thailand? I thought we had visa on arrival?

Currently in Da Nang Vietnam. Need a 60 day tourist visa. I was thinking Savanket? Any suggestions recent experiences. Thanks

Hello! Could anyone clarify if it is possible to apply for a 60-90 day tourist visa online?

My family is Australian but we are already travelling in Vietnam, so hoping for an online process before we get to Thailand!

Hi, I got a 60 day visa about a month ago. I was planning on coming to Bangkok from Vietnam but due to unforseen circumstances I am flying back home to the U.S. for a month. I plan on flying straight to Bangkok when I'm done there. Will the change of airlines and country in coming from invalidate the visa? None of that is on my visa letter but I think I entered that on my application. Thanks for any advice you can give.

Hello everyone. Can you please help me. I am trying to get to Thailand from Vietnam and I don't know how to apply for the visa. Previously I came from Finland and I could do it online but on the website that Thailand has in Vietnam I didn't see anywhere that I can do it online, and there are mostly news. I already bought the in and out tickets thinking is going to be easy and my departure is on the 3rd of August. My time for applying is short. I can do visa on arrival because I come from Romania

Thank you Ina dance for your help

I know there is no concrete answer to this post but would really appreciate some input anyways.

I am an American with 3 back to back tourist visas. I just got a 6 month ED visa in Vietnam. I was thinking I might fly to Vientiane and do a land crossing there. However, that will cost quite a bit more and take a lot of time. With this many tourist visas before my ED would flying to suvarnabhumbi be most likely too risky? I know hard question to answer but would appreciate any input. I have proof of funds I can show.

So basically, am I being over cautious going through Vientiane and flying into bkk with an ED visa would most likely be ok? Or is going through the extra mile for a land crossing a wise decision?

Thanks for any input.
