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!

Hi everyone, I’m in Thailand on a British passport, I have been across the boarder into Loa , re-entered Thailand and received a 60day stamp , I now wish to stay longer .. If I fly to Vietnam for a weeks stay and then return to Thailand by air will I receive another 60day stamp ?? Also can I just fly into Vietnam or do I have to have a Visa before arrival ?? TIA …. 😐

DTV approved in Ho Chi Minh in 4 business days through Muay thai

Thanks for the great info from this group. Here's me giving back with my experience.

Thursday - Applied online with the following:

- Wise bank statement of USD account. 3 months but had over 500k THB worth 1 week out

- Letter from Muay Thai Gym showing 3 month paid membership

- Agoda booking screenshot of my stay in Vietnam

Friday - I got the following email asking for additional docs

1 - Document indicating current location: To certify your current location, please submit the arrival stamp to Vietnam and hotel booking/fight ticket round trip to Vietnam, please ensure that the period of stay is longer than 5 days for visa processing. All documents must be in English/Thai.

2 - Other request documents: Please provide the training course, company registration/DBD. All documents must be in English/Thai. If not, they must be translated, please ensure the document is clear and readable."

Saturday - I submitted the following

- Vietnam entry stamp

- Muay Thai gym company registration and DBD

- I also provided that bank receipt of my paid 3 month membership which I didn't include last time

Tuesday - 2:30pm - DTV approved

I live in Thailand in rented apartments, having to travel to Ho Chi Minh to submit the DTV application online - to prove the current location in Vietnam am I right in thinking an entry stamp to Vietnam will suffice or perhaps a hotel stay confirmation ?

Also how long is it taking roughly for the visa to be approved ?

Any help is much appreciated

Looking for some advice and hopefully not to much abuse, left Thailand on the 27th 4 days before my 30 days were up and went to Vietnam and have my flight back to the UK booked from Hanoi on the 9th of January cause I thought I’d stay but to cut a long story short didn’t like it so have decided to fly back to chiang Mai today I know I want have any problem coming back into Thailand but my question is, will I be ok to enter back into Vietnam for my flight home or is there some sort of limitations on how many times you can enter the country with in a certain time even though I could prove I’ve got a flight out the country a matter of hours later, hope you guys can help I understand it’s nothing to do with the Thai visa side of thing but there’s a few people in here with a wave of information and advice, sorry for the long post just tanned two litres of beer 🍺🍺

Does anyone here visited vietnam? What are the requirements for entry?

Everything else question: Does Vietnam still require tourists entering the country to have Covid insurance of US $10,000? This was not mentioned when I applied for E-visa. Google search is not clear on this. If required, can you buy it at the airport, or where to obtain? Thanks for any advice.

Has anyone used a rapid test (ATK) instead of a PCR from a hospital and fly into Vietnam successfully ? Will also like to know specific wordings I should look out for? Thank you. Cheers Patrick
