Hello everyone,

I am planning to apply for a DTV visa for Thailand in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Here is the list of documents I have prepared in advance:

✅ A recent passport photo (without a smile).

✅ A clear passport scan.

✅ Bank statment in English for the last six months.

✅ Approval for managing an account in Englis.

✅ A business license or notarized translation of the license, along with your business and personal details.

✅ A signature confirmation for managing the business (notarized).

✅ A copy of the main page of my site, with my website address included.

✅ Four financial invoices translated into English.

✅ A confirmed flight ticket.

**✅ hotel booking in vietnam

**

My Questions:

1. Should I submit everything online while I am in Vietnam, or do I need to visit the Thai Embassy in person?

2. Should I stay in Ho Chi Minh City and wait for the visa, or am I allowed to travel to other cities while it is being processed?

3. Will I receive the visa by email, or do I need to collect it physically?

4. Am I missing any documents, or is my preparation complete?

Thank you in advance for your help!

My husband is applying for DTV and I wanna apply with him as spouse and I am not working so do we need 500k baht or more? The posts were confusing as some people say yes and some people say no. Also how long should the money be present in the bank account (500k in total). Your help will be appreciated

Have applied a DTV in Paris, on Pending Approval since this 2 September. Someone in the same boat ?

Approved at the Thai embassy in Dubai. Took two working days and staff was very helpful. Highly recommend it for people from United Arab Emirates 🇦🇪

May I know which embassy is easier for DTV? Vientiane or Savannakhet? I plan to drive across the border for the soft power option (cooking classes)
