Im currently in the middle of getting approval for my DTV application. Applied from Sydney Australia with an Australian Passport. The consulate has requested a remote work letter and due to my circumstances, they are taking a very long time to provide this. I was wondering if it is possible to provide the embassy with a medical certificate stating that I am the primary caregiver to my partner (unmarried) who has the DTV as a result of medical treatment to get this approved?

Quick question about speeding up the DTV application:

I’ve heard that some applications have been stuck in review for over 2 weeks.

I also heard that a few people reached out via Line to check on the status.

Would it be wise to do the same if my application has been pending for about 4–5 days? Also… has anyone ever tried asking if there’s a way to *pay* for an express review? 😅

Curious to hear if anyone has experience with this or any tips to share!

Thankss

Hi everyone, I have a question regarding DTV application.

I understand I should say where I will be during the DTV application. In this case, i will put my Airbnb address in Vietnam.

When i tick that my permanent address is different than current address, it add a 2nd address to fill. Is my understanding correct:

1 = current adress

2 = permanent adress

Correct ?

Does anyone already filled a permanent address in Thailand ? Is there any issue ? Do you have to provide Home certificate only for current address during application ? or home permanent address as well ?

Hello everyone, hope you are all doing good😊.

Just a question if you don't mind helping.

Once you have submitted the DTV application and then a couple of days later received a message for a further document that I've updated as requested, does that mean everything else on my application was ok? Or do they keep coming back as they get further into the application requesting more?

Just wondering if I'm all good after submitting the requested document 🤔.

Thanks.

I came to Laos on a 14-day visa-exempt after being told by the agent that I would get my DTV approved here within a week. The agent applied for my visa but filled in my name incorrectly during so my visa was cancelled. I reapplied for it myself the very day, but was only able to pay the next day. Because of this, I only have one week left on my visa-exempt stay here. I saw in this group that someone who applied on the 14th or 15th had their interview scheduled for the 28th. I don't have enough time left if the interview is going to be in 2 weeks. I was planning to do a visa run to Thailand and back into Laos, but it says online that I'm supposed to remain in Laos the whole time the visa is being processed, and that it would affect my DTV activation otherwise. What can I do? Is it possible to extend my visa-exempt stay at the immigration office? (I was reading on Google, and most said I can't, but an agent I met outside the embassy said he could do it for me, but it takes 5 days. I'm not sure if I should or could trust him.)

P.S I knew the name was the issue because the embassy told me the name was the problem in the cancellation email.

HCMC DTV applied 7th of May, it's now the 20th and pending approval.

Should I fly to Hanoi and submit an additional application?

What happens if my vietnam visa ends? Does my DTV application automatically expire?

Cheers for the help.

I'm doing my DTV application now. And I have accommodation with the muay thai gym I go for the soft power visa.

So, in the section where you put your accommodation, I have one night in Bangkok, then the day after, I will travel to the city where the gym is and have three nights' accommodation somewhere else before I go to the gym.

I only have 2 accommodation types I can fill in.

What is best to do? Skip the second accommodation in the form and just do Bangkok and then the gym?

Hope you understand my question.

My current (Elite) visa ends on June 2nd. I'm planning to leave to Vietnam that exact same day and start my DTV application from there. Just wanted a confirmation from the experts here that staying until that day (June 2) is not considered a one-day overstay. Thanks!

Hello,

I submitted my dtv application to the LA embassy on 5/3 (Saturday). It's now 5/15 (8 working days later) and my application is still "pending document check." At which point is it reasonable to contact them and ask for an update? Thanks

I have a us llc that has 0% tax, but the company is new so i still havent had my yearly tax fill. Will this give me issues with dtv application (applying in bali)?

i can prove the money in the bank, send my freelancer info and invoices but not much in terms of taxation
