Is it easier to apply for a dtv visa in Vietnam?

Is it usually easier for Vietnam to apply for DTV than other countries around Thailand? Some friends and I successfully applied in Vietnam, but we haven't tried to apply in other countries yet.

About dependent DTV visa

Hi everyone, I’d like to ask for some advice.

I currently hold a DTV visa that I obtained in Vietnam in 2025, and now I’m planning to apply for a dependent DTV visa for my son.

Do I need to go back to Vietnam for his application, or can I apply from another nearby country, such as Indonesia or the Philippines? (I’ve already been to Vietnam several times and would prefer a different location.)

Also, since it has been about a year since I got my DTV, should I resubmit the same documents I used before, or do I need to prepare a completely new set (e.g., bank statements, employment proof, etc.)?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Where did you stay in Hanoi while waiting for your visa ?

There are hundreds of places on the booking platforms but I am looking for a personal recommendation.

Obviously I want to be in or close to the Old Quarter and AC is a must.

I'm budgeting for around 20usd a night but I am getting too many hostels and dorms coming up.

Any hidden gems out there someone can suggest ?

How long should I give myself in Vietnam to secure a DTV and return to Thailand?

I’m planning to book return flights from Thailand to Vietnam (Hanoi) and apply for my DTV from there. I need the return ticket, so do I give myself 2 weeks? 3? If I return before the DTV is issued then I guess my DTV application gets cancelled so I’m nervous. But I’d rather not spend a whole month in Vietnam just for DTV

Hey folks,

can you plesse guide me which countrys thai embassy is good to apply dtv with easy process and good chance to get visa ?

Loas, Malaysia or Vietnam ?

Please suggest do I use any agent or apply with myself ?

Anyone got thoughts/experience getting DTV in jakarta? Either looking at doing it there as we are flying over from NZ, or we can do Sydney or somewhere in south east asia.

All thoughts appreciated!

Hi everyone, I need some advice from all of you already get approve. I'll apply DTV Visa next month. What is the best Idea, I mean which one apply from Vietnam or apply from Indonesia?

Hello everyone! I need to leave Thailand next week to apply since my visa is expiring. I am wondering if there is any embassy that is more flexible with the 500kTHB requirement, as usually expected to be in the account for over 3 months. Mine has only been there for 2-2.5 months. I was considering Laos, but it seems they’re strict about the 3 month requirement. I have also heard Vietnam has been rejecting more applications lately and taking longer overall.

Question....

We are leaving Hua Hin April to go Vietnam to apply for DTV.

I've never been to Vietnam before and would like to go stay near the beach is there an area to go in Vietnam if I do have to go and visit the embassy?

Like is there more than one embassy than just Hanoi or am I ok just doing all online from within Vietnam?

can you get a dtv as an established monitised youtuber if yes where is the best place in south east Asia to apply thank you
