What would happen if you lost your passport? New passport would no longer match e-visa passport number.

I have a DTV visa and applied for my two dependents. I applied for both at the same time. One was approved today (my son) but the other (my wife) is still “pending approval.” No word from the Embassy in Hanoi. Should I visit the embassy Monday or is this just a waiting game?

This may be a weird question.

I am a UK resident but I am in Thailand at the moment.

Why apply in Vietnam or Cambodia, when I could file all the documents online with the London Embassy. I have a UK residential address?

TIA

What embassy to apply from London or Paris?

Hello, I am an Irish passport holder (no other passport) but I am a resident in France with a French residency card, so naturally I should be applying in Paris but my bank account is a GBP UK bank. Normally I would apply from Paris as anyone knows how to convert currency but would rather double check before spending 350€. Physically I am located in France but I travel to Ireland all the time so at the time of application I can be in either Ireland or France. My documents are all in English and both countries only require most recent single bank statement. With London requiring 2k less in the account.

Thank you in advance

Edit: Paris embassy have said the following “You need to show a bank certificate with 15,000 in euros.” So Paris does not accept the equivalent in a foreign currency incase anyone wants to apply in the future.

Hello, I’m currently in Thailand with a 60 days exemption visa and would like to travel to a border country (Laos, Cambodia, or Vietnam) to apply for a SETV from a Thai embassy. Is it possible even if I’m not a resident of these countries and just a tourist ?

Hi, I went to the immigration office in Bangkok to extend my stay for another 30 days to finish my internship. I have a Non-B visa, and they told me I need to bring a "certificate and request for extension of stay from the embassy". I spoke with the embassy, and they said they don't issue that and no one has ever asked them for it. Did anyone encounter this or know what to do?

Hey there,

I’m applying for my DTV soon and will be leaving for Hanoi in a couple of days. I had a few questions before I go and was hoping to get some help here, as I’m a bit nervous about the process:

1. Is it okay to apply online just two days before traveling to Hanoi?

2. Has anyone recently done this in Hanoi? If so, how long did the process usually take?

3. Do they require you to visit the embassy there, and should I be prepared for that?

Thank you in advance for your help!

Can everyone who received their DTV add in the comments in which country did you do it and how long it took? Thanks a lot 😊

Hello everyone, just had a question and was wondering if anyone could advise please.

Wanting to apply from the embassy in London, re the bank statements. Is it six months worth of statements or just one recent statement dated within six months showing the required amount please?

Sorry if that’s a stupid question & thank you in advance for your help.

On the 29th of April I will with my family fly from

Phuket to Bali and apply for the DTV under the soft power Muay Thai.

I found a Muay Thai gym here after a recommendation from someone in this group 🙏🏽

They will provide me the correct paperwork for a 6 month course (1x a week, so enough time to keep training at our regularly gym).

I do have a few questions, that I not seem to find the answer to when I use the search feature. So hopefully someone will be kind enough to help answer them 🙏🏽:

1. What date should be put in the invitation letter, would this be the date that I want to start the course?

The gym asked me to give them the correct date for the letter.

2. I will apply online to the Jakarta embassy, would I say this to the gym for the letter as well or does the embassy in Jakarta have a specific name?

3. How do I get the passport stamp in Bali when entering?

I was there a few weeks ago, but we went through the electronic checkpoint, so no stamp was issued.

4. I don’t work at the moment, but I get enough benefits per month from my home country and extra every 3 months, would that be an issue (not working)?

I plan on getting back to work online once we get settled, I do have over 500.000 thb in funds, so that won’t be an issue.

5. When I get the DTV approved and apply for my kids as dependents, would the costs also be 10.000 thb each for them?

Can’t seem to find anything about that.
