Hey there,

I’m applying for my DTV soon and will be leaving for Hanoi in a couple of days. I had a few questions before I go and was hoping to get some help here, as I’m a bit nervous about the process:

1. Is it okay to apply online just two days before traveling to Hanoi?

2. Has anyone recently done this in Hanoi? If so, how long did the process usually take?

3. Do they require you to visit the embassy there, and should I be prepared for that?

Thank you in advance for your help!

I currently have the Visa on Arrival stamp and can stay in Thailand until March 11. However, I will be traveling to Vietnam for 10 days in early February to apply for the DTV visa. What happens if the visa application is denied and I have to return to Thailand? Can I still stay until March 11? Technically, I’ve already used up my allowed days with the tourist visa since I was here for 90 days before. But first I need to go back to my condo in case I have to leave... 😬

Hello everyone, good advice is very welcome. TR60 Visa since October 2021 with 5 Covid extension.

I would like to extend my stay to travel a little further around Thailand with my Thai GF. We are planning a short trip to Vietnam at the end of the month, would spend a day or two there and then fly back via DMK. I’m gambling with a 45 days stamp.

Is the whole project a promising campaign? I haven't done any other visas or border runs yet.

Side notice: I’m still having my return flight as a backup, but this one starts from BKK… I guess there is also risk involved to get denied entry at all?

Or is it also worth the extra effort to apply for a new TR visa in Vietnam?

Many thanks 🙏
