Da Nang or Penang?

Hello!!I want to ask about the payment method.

I will go to Hanoi to apply dtv next week. The problem is that I only have UnionPay card.

Does the embassy website support UnionPay card payment? Or do I need to prepare a visa card?also how much is the application fee in Vietnam?

Thank you so much for your help!!

Is it safe to apply for DTV soft power muay thai from Vietnam? I am hearing that they are becoming very strict nowadays?

Hello, I’m currently in Thailand with a 60 days exemption visa and would like to travel to a border country (Laos, Cambodia, or Vietnam) to apply for a SETV from a Thai embassy. Is it possible even if I’m not a resident of these countries and just a tourist ?

Hi everyone, Hope you are having a good day.

Has anyone recently applied for the DTV visa in any of the neighboring countries around Thailand?

I would love to hear about your experiences and any tips that might help as I want to apply for it soon.

I've got 2 months left on my current visa so I'm not in a rush.

Thanks for reading.

Hey everyone!

I’m trying to decide where to apply for my DTV visa as a remote worker/workation spot. I’ve narrowed it down to Cambodia 🇰🇭 or Vietnam 🇻🇳, but I’m unsure which is the better option.

What are the pros and cons of applying in either country? Would love to hear your experiences.

Is this a good time to go to Bangkok? I’m looking to spend a couple months in Asia.. was thinking of Vietnam 🇻🇳 instead since the earthquake. Thoughts?

Hi everyone, for those applying for the DTV visa from Hanoi,Vietnam — has anyone received their approval in the past few days?

I submitted my application on March 19th, was asked to provide additional documents on March 20th, and my status changed to “Pending Approval” on March 21st. But there’s been no update since then.

From what I’ve seen before, most people got their visa approved within about 5 working days, so i just want to ask the situation…thanks

Does the thai embassy in Ho Chi Minh Vietnam accept simultaneous submission of my dtv application and my spouse dtv application? If not, how long does it usually takes time for the spouse dtv visa to be approved once I got approval with my dtv?
