Hello,

My visa application has been cancelled for "wrong name". I don't understand at all

Is this happened to someone?

Should I have put my second first name as middle name? (I am french)

Thank you

Edit : FYI and warning

My middle name was auto filled when I put the picture of my passport and everything was okay.

But if you save it and come back later, I don't know why, but the auto filled are gone and I forgot to put back my middle name.

Be careful and triple check everything even if it was okay before saving.

Have a good day

Has anyone successfully applied for DTV through HCM? In the case I'm unemployed, is it sufficient to just have a letter explaining how I will be able to sustain my life in Thailand?

Hey ya'll....quick question for the DTV. The application asks for accommodation and flight info. Do I need to actually book or can I just put what I'm planning on?

Thanks all!

Hello everyone, I'm just curious about the "soft" Muay Thai DTV visa... if my wife were to obtain this visa, is it possible for me to apply to be a dependent on her visa? Or can you only be a dependent for the other types of DTV visas? Thanks for any info!

Hello everyone, I am applying 90 days Non-O evisa now. It requires to provide booking information. Does anyone know the minimum days you need to book for visa approval without questions. I booked a hotel for 30 days, is that enough for visa application? I haven’t decided where I will stay after that. I will search an apartment during my first 30 days.

Approved today at Ho Chi Minh

Wanted to post my experience from getting my DTV Visa in Hanoi May 2025, as this group was super helpful for me!

I applied the Digital Nomad route (whatever its called) as I have a working contract with a company from Hong Kong. American passport.

What I submitted:

-Passport biopage

-Photos

-Work contact (signed by my boss and I)

-Bank statements (above 500k) going back 6 months (wanted to be thorough and the more you send the better.)

-I originally submitted my Hanoi hotel booking as proof of location

Timeline

-Tuesday May 13th I submitted it at 8am the day I flew to Hanoi.

-Thursday May 15th I got a request for more paperwork. (They wanted Vietnam entry stamp and "business certification" for work

-Friday May 16th, resubmitted all of this (the business cert I had to wait for my boss, they wanted the official registration from the country of your company)

-Friday May 16th it went into "pending approval"

-Friday May 23rd, received eVisa approval at 10am

My flight back to Thailand was scheduled for May 24th.

This is my 3rd eVisa and each time I received approval on a Friday. It appears 5-6 working days is the sweet spot as long as it's not around a holiday or something. The process was very simple, my main advice is give them more paperwork than you think you should. Everything you have, combine into a PDF and submit.

Good luck! Feel free to ask questions, happy to help.

Hi everyone, I’d truly appreciate the group’s help.

I submitted DTV applications for my wife and kids (as dependents) at the Thai Consulate in Ho Chi Minh City 21 days ago (I already hold a DTV visa as a remote worker).

After 5 days, their applications changed to “Pending Approval”, and they’ve been stuck there for more than 2 weeks.

I’ve tried calling the consulate (no answer) and sent emails (no reply).

Does anyone know how to expedite this process? Or can anyone recommend an agent who has a direct line to the consulate?

Thanks so much in advance!

DTV approved through the LA consulate 🎉🎉🎉

Here’s my timeline in case it helps anyone:

• Applied: April 27

• Got a request for more docs: May 12

• Submitted additional docs: May 13

• Visa approved: May 22

They asked me for a company profile and business portfolio, so if you’re applying as a freelancer, definitely have those ready ahead of time to avoid back and forth.

Happy to answer any questions or share what I included in my uploads if y’all need help 🫶🏾
