DTV approved in Hanoi. Made an appointment online, attended Monday and picked up the visa today. They said 3 workings days but mine was done in 2.

I provided 6 months bank statements with the 500k Thai baht minimum, I only had it in one account for a 5 month period but gave them bank statements for the missing month showing the source of these funds. They generally want the funds to be liquid and withdrawable.

I stated that I have 3 sources of income:

1. Engineering technician (provided portfolio and recent signed letter from a client stating I have agreement to carry out work for him) I am not currently working in this role but expressed to them my intention is to get myself setup when I find accommodation.

2. Trading reports (provided transactions in this tax UK year and withdrawals to my bank accounts and shown on bank statements to prove income in this period)

3. Investment property income (provided invoice for payments to myself from tenant and management fees)

I summarised everything in a cover letter which tied all my evidence together and I think would go along way in any application. I provided in total 107 pages of evidence so I imagine they would have struggled to make sense of everything without the cover letter.

Also gave last years tax return, proof of location in Vietnam (hotel reservation is fine). They didn’t require travel or accommodation for Thailand to be booked.

Found the process to be easy, staff were friendly and she even helped me print out some documents I managed to forget!

Fee was 340 usd only (I asked for fresh notes at the exchange). They made sense of everything at the desk before accepting the application and taking my money.

DTV was given to me as a sticker inside my passport

Any questions hit me up

I just got DTV in Hanoi, Vietnam today.

- applied on the last Wednesday.

- applied as a remote job employee for Myanmar company

- required documents are as described in their website plus your official stay permit in Vietnam: entry visa stamp to Vietnam and hotel booking confirmation should be okay for that.

- they mainly checked my supporting financial data and bank statement. It's better to prepare your salary pay slips if your bank transactions are not much enough. They wanted see many transactions in your bank statement.

- they will notify your application result and passport pick up date by email. So make sure email address you fill in visa application form is correct.

Good luck everyone

Hi everyone,

I just got my DTV visa from the Thai embassy in Hanoi and wanted to share my experience as a freelancer. Here are the key points:

1. They asked for invoices and a government paper proving I'm a freelancer, notarized by a notary.

2. A bank statement showing 500,000 THB wasn't enough; they needed statements from the last six months.

3. The visa fee is $340, cash only in dollars.

4. I had to provide a portfolio since I don't have contracts with companies.

5. Required documents included: six months of bank statements, visa application, passport photo, client invoices, a certificate proving I'm Spanish, passport photocopy, and my portfolio.

6. They also needed a hotel booking or leasing contract for my stay in Thailand, plus a hotel reservation in Hanoi.

7. The staff was unhelpful and had a bad attitude. You must make an appointment online to submit your documents.

I applied on Friday and got the visa today, thanks to an urgent situation with my girlfriend that required us to fly earlier, otherwise they said it takes up to a week. I hope this helps anyone planning to apply!

Submitted my first Stay Extension request based on marriage today at CW. Went like clockwork. Appointment was booked for 2pm called to see IO at 2.03 pm finished at 2.27pm.Prepared a document submission checklist from information gleaned from this group ( thanks Tod and others). No additional copies required. IO commented that she was very impressed with our preparation. She checked some original documents. The only variation from this list was that she returned the second copy of the TM30 as only one copy was required. Note for people who have difficulty walking long distances wheelchairs are available at the security checkpoint near the door ( leave ID as security). UC until 15 July. IO said that my wife can bring my passport for stamping. I don’t need to attend. Note that I did bank letter, 6 months statement and book update at my local branch of Bangkok Bank in the morning and made copies at home. Note if going by Grab choose the Immigration Building B second floor option after you search for immigration in the app.

I'm applying for a non-immigrant B visa from the UK and I need to provide an 'academic qualification' for my school.

Two of my certificates are slightly different from the name on my passport (one missing my middle name and the other 'Nick' instead of 'Nicholas').

My school has told me that I need to get these documents 'notarised'. Can anyone give more information and suggest a service that might help me do this? What's the going rate? It seems to be about £200 per document - is that right??

Thanks!

Hi.

I could really use some help.

I am going to leave my current job and join another school in May.

Is it possible to transfer/change my current non-B to new school without leaving the country?

I am aware that once I cancel my WP, my visa will be cancelled as well. But I can apply for 7 days extension.

What documents should I need to prepare?

Just landed in Phuket a few minutes ago. Everything went well. One piece of advice: do print your PCR test results, you can show all the other stuff on your phone but they need a paper version of the PCR for their record. I must have lost 20min in a line to get it printed but otherwise it's pretty smooth!

I applied for a Non O extension on marriage which is under consideration and I have to go back to CW on 7th June. Do I need to update my bank book and get an ATM slip on that day only or do I have to make photo copies of all pages of the bank book again? Anything else required to take along?
