This is meant as a warning. Do not use the embassy in Kuala Lumpur to obtain your DTV.

I was issued my DTV there and it was not for 5 years, but until the expiration of my passport...about 3 years, in my case.

Clearly, someone in KL did it wrong. However, it would appear that I have no recourse.

Hello, I am going to apply for a DTV. I was wondering if the passport should still be at least 5 years valid or not? Also, is HMC better than Hanoi? Thank you very much for your help.

Anybody knows if it’s possible to enter on a normal 30 or 60 day visa on arrival instead of using the DTV? Becaue my passport expires in just a bit less than six months.

I have a non o retirement visa which i had fo 9 years,i will go back home june 2026. What i want to be sure about is: My non o visa needs to be renewed on 26 november 2025 but my passport expires on 2nd of august 2026, will i still be able to renew my visa but only to the expire date. I am not worried about my passport as i am not going to be on the move again and if i need to i can apply for a new one again. Thanks.

Can I do a one month Visa extension if I only have 5 months left on my passport?

Hello,

I’ll be arriving in Thailand via a land border with Cambodia in a few days, as I’m traveling by bike. I was planning to renew my passport in Bangkok (Canadian citizen). My passport still has 6 months and 3 weeks validity. I was planning to spend around 6 weeks in Thailand before heading to Malaysia. Anyone knows if I could encounter any problems getting the 2 months entry stamp at the border?

My passport will expire on 23 Nov 2025 can i apply for DTV visa i have 8 months remaining on my passport

Hi guys, I currently have a dtv visa. But my passport is valid until October 2026. What will happen after validity expires? Thank you.

Hi everyone just wondering when applying for the DTV visa how much do you need remaining on your passport. Cheers.

How much remaining validity for one's passport is required when one applies to extend their "retirement visa" for an additional year?
