Hi,

I am planning to go to Vietnam to apply for the DTV. I will be flying out to Da Nang tomorrow to submit the application, but I would like to have the process reviewed/processed in Hanoi, not Ho Chi Minh. Could anyone who has applied for the DTV from Da Nang but had it handled in Hanoi, or anyone with relevant knowledge, please tell me if this will be an issue? If it's not possible, I am prepared to fly to Hanoi again.

Thank you in advance

I’m working on my application but stuck on the document part as it asks for multiple documents but only allows one file each. If anyone could help me I really appreciate it

Maybe a silly question but I’m kind of stumped here. How do I prove my current address? I’ve been in SEA for the past 6 months just hopping around on tourist visas. Came home to apply for the DTV. No passport stamp on entry to the UK, I don’t drive, living at home with parents before I left for Asia so no utility bills. I can submit a bank statement but it hardly proves I’m actively in the UK. I have flight info back to the UK and a physical boarding pass, is this sufficient? Any other suggestions? Thank you in advance.

I'm leaving from Thailand for the Netherlands on December 13th. I'm going back to Thailand in January for 12 weeks so I want/should I apply for a visa online at the Thai embassy in The Hague. Is it possible to do this online in Thailand now, because I have to leave Thailand on 13 December. Because I'm not sure if I'm in the Netherlands or if I can get my visa arranged in time within 3 weeks.

-------------

Ik vertrek op 13 december vanuit Thailand weer naar Nederland. Ik ga in januari weer terug voor 12 weken naar Thailand dus wil/moet ik een visum online aanvragen bij de Thaise ambassade in Den Haag. Is het mogelijk om dit nu in Thailand online te doen, want ik moet nog Thailand uit op 13 december. Want ik weet niet zeker als ik in Nederland ben of ik wel op tijd mijn visum geregeld kan krijgen binnen 3 weken.

How many days prior to the expiration of my Non-Immigrant O visa can I apply for my annual extension?  Also, is the timeframe the same whether I am doing it on my own or using an agent? Thanks 🙏
