I have just flew from Bangkok to Hanoi Vietnam a couple days ago, I am in the middle of doing my application form on line, it’s asking me for the last port of embarkation. What do I write here ? I will be flying back if approved from Hanoi to Bangkok.

Question: Just got my DTV Approved Da Nang (Ho Chi Minh Consulate.) Do I have to fly from Vietnam to Thailand to get my visa document? Or can I go to a neighbouring country for a trip and then from there (i.e Cambodia or Laos) and fly to Thailand? Basically, do I have to pass direct from Vietnam to Thailand to get the DTV visa document, or is it just put in my passport whenever I enter Thailand again from anywhere? It may be a silly question…I just wasn’t sure whether it had to be from Vietnam since it was processed by Ho Chi Minh Consulate…? Thanks!!!

If i get my DTV in Hanoi while in Vietnam, do i have to fly to TH from Vietnam or can i go to any country and fly from there the first time i enter TH ?

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!
