Hey, when you go to Vietnam to apply for the DTV, do they require you go personally to the embassy at any point? Should you stay in a city with an embassy or can you stay in any city in the country?

I teach on Preply and I have a student who is from Thailand.

Will that be an issue when I apply in Vietnam as I know you have to show that you are not claiming income from Thais?

Nearly all of my other students are from Europe!

Also, do you have to declare your most recent tax return?

EDIT - I was going to submit my earnings spreadsheet and it will say that my student is from Thailand

Did anyone here get their Thailand DTV visa in Vietnam without using an Agent? Did you need to book an appointment in advance?

Hello, just wondered if anyone has recently applied for remote worker DTV from either Taiwan or Vietnam and if they have any tips on the process/documents. I was going to apply from Taiwan in January but looks like Hanoi in Vietnam is a better option right now? Any advice is MUCH appreciated. Thanks ☺️ 🙏🏻

Is it possible to apply DTV in HCMC when I plan to travel there for 5 days only and wait for approval back in Thailand .

I do have the savings requirement met, and planning to do my own remote work online which has yet to start but there’s a draft of my plan which I won’t be working in thai or in any thai company.

Hi, have gone through the helpful discussions and useful comments extensively, but still have a couple questions causing some anxiety/confusion, so appreciate all assistance and advice for the below;

1) What is everyone using the cover letter for? Just explaining why they want the DTV? Or as a menu of their submitted documents or combination of both.

2) will be applying from Vietnam because went to my home base country & was they didn't process any DTV's there, so looking at Hanoi - any major cons/pros versus applying in HCMC?

3) does anyone have experience with multiple sources of remote income? (Ie: I tutor remotely and also work remotely for a company based in EU). Is it better to put just the company role? Or include both to show higher overall income?

4) can I start filling out the online portal with my documents before arriving Vietnam (but NOT submitting till after I’m in country) ?

5) and would a ready to start rental agreement for 6 months that is dated to begin for when I arrive in Thailand with the DTV ? (Have found a landlord and place to rent, but didn’t want to start prior to being approved)

*otherwise, I have 6-9 months of invoices/payments from both jobs & 6-9 months of more than the 500k required as well. Along with letter, contract etc from my employer and 4 months of invoices and matching payments from my remote tutoring. And will have ofc the hotel booking, and such paid and sorted before arriving in Vietnam.

Much appreciated in advance!

Hi guys, do I have to be in Vietnam when I want to apply at HCMC for DTV, or can I apply there from any country? I’m a German citizen. Thanks a lot 🙏🏼

When applying for the DTV, is it necessary to be in that particular city ie. in HCMC or can I just be in Vietnam say Da Nang?
