Hey everyone 👋

I posted a few questions here quite a while ago. As it usually goes in groups like this: I got a lot of genuinely helpful and solid replies — and of course a few… very confident ones 😉

Overall though: great group, thanks a lot, especially to those who also reached out privately with useful tips.

That’s why I’m posting this not anonymously. If anyone has follow-up questions, feel free to message me privately — just like I did back then. I didn’t follow every single suggestion, but I did apply several of them.

Quick update on the visa process, as this seems to be relevant for many:

I submitted my application in Hanoi on Thursday at noon and received the approval email about two hours ago.

👉 Thai E-Visa DTV approved.

Important detail: no follow-up questions at all. No additional documents, no back and forth.

The status already changed to “Pending Approval” on Friday, and after that it simply went through.

Timeline wise:

Thursday submission → Friday working day → Monday working day → approved today.

Whether you count Thursday or not — in total it was around 4 working days in Hanoi.

Honestly: super smooth and very easy process.

For full transparency — before any unnecessary comments come up 😉

I did this through an agency.

Total cost: around €500, including visa + agency fee. That’s it.

Four working days later, DTV approved.

Of course, everyone can (and should) decide for themselves whether they want to do everything on their own.

For me personally, those few hundred euros were 100% worth it — saving time, stress, and potentially extra days in the country.

Hope this helps someone 🙌

Hi everyone!

I’m applying for a visa and I don’t have enough funds in my personal bank account to meet the financial requirement. My father is willing to support me and sponsor me, but I’m not sure what kind of documents I need to provide to show this.

Does anyone know what I should prepare?

For example:

A sponsorship letter from my father?

Proof of his income or bank statements?

A declaration that he will cover my expenses?

If anyone has experience with this or has gone through something similar, I would really appreciate your advice. Thank you so much!

Hello,

I am planning to apply for a Non-O (family) visa for Thailand and I am considering a few consulates in the region. I am specifically looking at:

• Savannakhet (Laos)

• Vientiane (Laos)

• Ho Chi Minh City (Vietnam)

• Hanoi (Vietnam)

Could you please share your experience:

• Where are the highest chances of approval?

• Where is the process faster and more reliable?

• Are there any special considerations I should be aware of?

Thank you in advance for your help!

I got my DTV 🥳🥳🥳

I wanted to share my experience in detail to help others.

I got a Workation DTV visa from Ho Chi Minh. If you go to Vietnam to apply be aware you need to apply to the embassy based on where you stay in Vietnam. I’ve attached the list as this is only available when you first apply.

My situation is a bit complicated as I have a few companies so I only told them about the two relevant ones. One I used as a sponsor that has high reserves and the other I pay myself a salary from. One mistake I made was thinking the 500,000 baht should be in the sponsors bank account. It must be in your personal account but when I got asked to evidence this in the additional documents they requested they accepted that I had transferred the money on the day. I wrote an explanation with my bank statement and it was fine.

One thing that makes the application hard is that the evidence for each request must be one single PDF. I used I love PDF to merge and compress my documents which worked brilliantly.

I wrote a very comprehensive document on my businesses with pictures, links and screenshots to really show that they are legitimate. I also merged the company registration document and accounts to show the business is bina fide. I still got asked to provide a Company overview showing details about its history, vision, mission, products, and achievements. I did this for both companies along with evidence of registration, directors etc.

I also got asked for:

Pictures of every page of my passport

My personal bank account 6 month statements

So put in as much as possible.

Also book somewhere online where so you can provide it as evidence of being in Vietnam and also your flight.

Good luck everyone it's still possible just put everything together maticulously.

Hello, I’m looking for an agent or agency who can assist me with processing my DTV.

Kindly respect my post and refrain from any negative comments. Thank you 🙏

Hi everyone!

I got my DTV Visa (Muay thai) approved yesterday in Hanoi. I applied on Saturday, so the approval took in total 3 business days! ☺️ they did not ask for additional documents.

I would be happy to help if some of you have questions regarding the process!

Also, do you guys think I need to print the visa before going back to Thailand? Or am I ok with the pdf document on my phone?
