Dhaka, Bangladesh: After two weeks of application, they asked for previous thai visa. I have submitted a pdf containing previous evisa and sticker visa. Staying positive.

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?

Thank you for all your helpful advice.

8/30- Applied

9/2 - Request for more documents, including my tax return,  business registration of the company I work for and the business portfolio of the company I work for.

I will go to Hanoi soon to apply for a visa.

Does anyone know exactly how much 500k baht I need to keep before applying for a visa?

If anyone has recently applied for a visa in Hanoi, please let me know.

I'm really curious whether I should keep 500k for 3 months or 6 months

Asking those who have applied already,

Is there a step by step guide (or best practices guide) to apply for DTV? Applying from UAE.

Also does it matter if the 500k be split in chequing and savings under the same bank?

Thanks 🌴🙌

Hello, I’m planning to apply for the DTV Visa (Soft Power) for Muay Thai training. I would like to do it in Vietnam.

Does it make a difference where in Vietnam I apply for it?

And if yes, can anyone recommend a good location in Vietnam where the application process for the DTV Visa is smooth or reliable?

Thank you in advance for your help! 🙏
