Hi everyone, I’m French and I applied for the DTV via the HCMC consulate.

What I submitted:

- 6 months of French bank statements (showing 500,000+ THB savings + regular income).

- Employer letter confirming remote work, contracts, portfolio with screenshots of my work

- Proof of location in Vietnam (flight ticket, entry stamp, Airbnb booking, photo at accommodation).

Despite this, they came back asking for many additional documents (see attached screenshot).

My partner already got her DTV only with a simple portfolio, no recurring income, no tax docs, nothing else…

Has anyone else received such extensive requests, or is this specific to HCMC?

How did you translate them? Keep the original layout, use a certified agency?

What to include in the motivation letter?

Thanks a lot for your feedback!

I'm on a 60 day visa exempt entry (Australian Resident) and I arrived 8th August, due to leave Thailand 6th October.

Im staying in Udon Thani and I want to apply for a 30 day extension.

Question; when can I apply for the extension, do I have to wait for the last day of my 60 day exempt entry or can I apply earlier? Is the process fast and easy?

Thanks in advance.

Hello Everyone, currently i am in thailand as a tourist. And since applying for DTV visa from inside thailand is not allowed.

Can i go to Malaysia and apply from there ? Did anyone had similar situation ?

Looking to see if anyone has had their DTV approved by only having the funds in their account for less than 2-3 months.

I've heard people being approved after a week applying from Taipei.

I'll be applying from London and would love to hear other people's experiences. Thanks.

Hi, my DTV application got rejected in HCMC yesterday. 5 working days, no additional documents asked.

I applied as Thai soft power, here are what I submitted:

1.Passport first page

2.Photo

3. Vietnam visa and stamp, Hotel confirmation, Boarding pass

4. Asset certificate for 1 year shows every month had more than 1M THB (under financial products category, not deposit), A copy of Chinese ID card(I thought only the ID number was needed, didn’t do the translation), Two motorcycle green book copies (I have tow motorcycles in Chiangmai)

5. Thai soft power 6 months course related documents.

And about the basic information I had put in, for the home address part, I thought they were asking for the address I am staying in Vietnam, so I wrote my hotel address and one more address in my country (China)

Now I want to try again in Laos, hope I can get some advice about what I did wrong.

Thank you

Hi there,

Question. Is it better to first apply for myself and later for my wife, or should I do it all at once? Usually residencies are first decided for the applicant and then (if approved) for the partner.

I appreciate your advice!
