On approval of the DTV, can you enter anytime once you have the approval or is entry as per the entry date you stated in the application?

I got my DTV approved today in HMC Vietnam.

I applied on Friday and was approved this morning.

Additional document requests included my CSV and 6 months of bank transactions.

If you have any questions please let me know.

Thank you very much to the people in this group who helped us to get our DTV approved🥳🥳 We got it in Jakarta and if there is anyone who is planning to go there before they switch to evisa later this month and has questions, let me know and I will try to respond. Generally, it is very smooth and the people there are very nice so I would definitely recommend it if you are in the area.

Can the 500k in bank be spent/withdrawn after dtv approval or required to keep it in bank throughout?

No plans to extend in thailand after 6 months

I'm at the airport now about to leave Phnom Penh. I was here for 16 days but am leaving without a DTV approved.

The embassy asked for additional documents after 5 business days (on a Friday). My work took about 4 business days to provide the documents I needed.

Submitted with 2 business days to spare. Still pending approval.

Documents provided:

- Bank Statement showing sufficient current balances

- Booking confirmation (hotel in Cambodia)

- Letter of Offer from employer / Employment contract

- Standard passport-size photo

- Scan of passport bio page

Additional documents requested:

- Scan of passport entry stamp for Camobodia

- Certificate of Employment

- Company Registration from employer

Hopefully I'll still be approved for my next entry into Thailand -- does anyone know if leaving the Embassy country before approval had any effect on the outcome?

If I were to offer advice, it'd be to provide all the correct documents in the initial application. It'll save the time required to request additional documents. Allow 5 business days at minimum for each interaction with the embassy.

Not sure if this information is relevant, but I thought maybe someone might find it helpful:

DTV Approved

They asked for my bank statements twice, but that was the only hold up
