I'm applying for the DTV in HCMC now.

I'm thinking of moving to Da Nang today.

Is someone required to be physically present at the HCMC embassy for additional documents?

Just wondering if it's worth staying around, or if it doesn't really matter.

I have booked 7 nights in hotel and will submit application probably at the airport when I get my passport entry stamp.

Anyone advise if I'm not approved when my flight is supposed to go back to Thailand what I should do?

Do I need to still be in Vietnam until the application is approved or denied?

I thought I saw someone else saying they ended up having to do 2 trips?

Thanks heaps for any help with this.

Visa Approved..

In case it helps anyone, here is a timeline and info:

-letter from muay thai gym

Partner applied same date, but for worcation. Supplied a work contract stating remote work, and the required 500k statements.

Phu Quoc's an easy option while waiting for the visa. Super friendly people, cheap and beautiful beaches 🙏

Does anyone know a pet-friendly Bus / Van or Driver who would take us from Bangkok to Da Nang Vietnam on Friday August the 30th?? Thank you in advance!!

Traveling to Vietnam on UK passport for a 6 day break from Thailand, do I need to apply for a visa before traveling, or do they do visa on arrival?

Hi! My partner and I have Canadian passports and are going to Thailand/Vietnam for 7 weeks. We’re going to fly direct in and out of Bangkok (we used points) at the beginning and ending of our trip. We’re thinking 3 1/2 weeks in Thailand, then go to Vietnam, then back to Thailand to leave. What’s the best way to do this, visa-wise?

Hi everyone!

I’ve been in Thailand since June and flying to Vietnam (Hanoi) in November for a week. I would like to try to get a 60 day visa while I’m there. I’d love to know the specifics and how easy it is to arrange this while I’m there.
