EDIT: I got approved ✅

Hello, I’m looking for some advice on my DTV application through HCMC.

I’ve been asked for documents three times now. The latest request just says “Other request documents: Attach documents again. HIGHLIGHT ALL INCOME amounts you received in the bank statement you provided.” I did highlight my income last time but I think the officer got confused. I submitted official Jan and Feb statements plus an unofficial web printout for March and there was overlapping data between them. My bank only publishes statements once a month at the end.

Now I’m debating whether to resubmit now with the overlap removed and everything clearly highlighted a second time with notes explaining each credit to my account, or waiting 2-3 days for my official March statement so I can submit three clean official documents together and highlighted so there is no overlap. Problem is my Vietnam visa expires April 4th so I’m feeling the pressure.

Has anyone dealt with a third document request like this? Would you guys recommend I wait for the official March statement and submit that? Is it possible to leave Vietnam and come back so they can issue it to me? I heard I need to be in Vietnam when they issue me the visa so I was considering doing a border run and waiting it out. The one issue I have is I already booked an Airbnb in Thailand so I’d have to swallow both the cost of the flat and the visa run. Is it possible to go somewhere else and wait for the visa before flying into Thailand or will they ask a third time for where I am?

Im applying for DTV in Hanoi and it's not accepting my card information when going to pay for application. Contacted my bank no reports of fraud. reapplied 4 times and it still isn't going through. has anyone had the same issue?

Hi, can anyone recommend a trusted company in Phuket to go to immigration and do the 90-day report for me.

I'd rather pay a company to do it than waste the day.

Hello everybody I just want to enquire if anyone got same situation during their submission for DTV visa

I am a long term resident in China “ 2 years RP” and before even I start anything I called the Thai embassy in China and inquired about if a can apply for DTV and they said yes I can apply as long as I have a long term visa in China and it will take 3 months time for the process, which I didn’t have any problem for waiting.

On NOV I have applied for Muai Thai DTV program

I got 2 requests for additional documents

The 1st was the next day of submission and the second was 2 weeks later and I submitted it all required docs.

Since then it was in the pending documents check status .

I called few times during the process and emailed them to check, they just say they have received everything and Now that I have to just wait for the process.

I even called during this week and they said still 3 more days till I finish the exact 3 months time so I have to wait more . I thought I might get an answer anytime during this 3 days. Even I asked if the 3 months will count from the day of submission or uploading the required docs they said from submission date.

I knew that I can not travel abroad during the process.

So I waited patiently for the total 3 months Until today 6 Feb , I checked the website status it was mentioned “finished”.

No email of Rejection or Approval … Just the word “Finished” in the website.

I called the embassy they said that maybe the application time in the system is over which is I guess the 3 months time since the date I applied , and Couldn’t discuss anything further.

Then I sent an email but unfortunately no reply. Tried to call few times later in the evening no answer.

I really don’t know what to do now , any advice from anyone who faced same issue like this. Should I wait longer or move on with my life or what exactly I should do?

Please advice

Apologies this is deemed a silly question.

Once I apply for a DTV (outside of Thailand) am I permitted to enter Thailand normally visa free for the 60 days as normal? And if the DTV is granted could I then, just leave and re-enter to activate it?

Or do they not want you entering until the visa is either approved or denied?

We're planning our DTV soft power application process (I'm finally figuring things out). I'm a bit fuzzy as I have been reading and consuming so much information. Can someone confirm if Taiwan and India (can't remember where though lol) are easier to apply and relatively fast. Also, I'm specifically looking for embassies that accept 1 month bank statements. Please advise if you have pertinent information.

TIA

Hi. I’m an Australian, I’m traveling in Europe now., and I don’t intend to go home anytime soon. I’ve just lodged a DTV application online and I’ve chosen the Thai embassy in Sydney. My question is, will they call me to request a face to face interview? Do I must be in Australia during the visa application process?

Issue with Bank Statements Timing

Hello everyone, I have a question about the DTV application.

I would like to apply at the Thai Embassy in Rome, but I have an issue with my bank statements.

My bank (Fineco bank) allows me to download a 6-month statement, but it only releases the official document at the end of each quarter.

For example:

If I apply in May, I can only download the statement for Jan–Feb–Mar, while Apr–May–Jun will only be available in July.

This means that during certain months of the year, I cannot provide a fully updated statement.

Has anyone had the same problem?

Could this cause issues with the DTV application?

Thank you in advance 🙏

⌛Running Out of Time: Can I Exit & Re-enter While DTV Is Processing?

Hi everyone, ✨

I’m a Malaysian currently in Indonesia on the 30-day visa-free entry (there is no way to extend this while I'm in Indonesia) and my DTV application is already submitted and in process. My first one was rejected so this is my second attempt. However I'm running out of time.

My stay expires soon, 12th Nov, so I’m planning to leave Indonesia and re-enter on the same day.

❓ My question:

If I exit and return to Indonesia while my DTV application is still being processed,

👉 Will my application remain valid, or will it be voided?

Has anyone done this successfully or received official clarification?

Thank u so much 🙏💕

Any insights or experience would be appreciated!

Application for DTV asks for travel information and I am not sure of exact days of travel in October yet.

How do I submit flight information when no flight booked?
