Hi, looking for advice regarding medical certificate for OA Visa. I’m in Australia andd having trouble getting a Dr to sign off on it. My Dr refused and referred me to Bupa Immigration Medical Service who informed me that they do not deal with this type of request…. any advice would be appreciated 🙂

I'd like to ask if anyone has got their DTV in one country and added/applied dependants to the DTV from a different country? We've been waiting weeks for the Canberra office in Australia and have flights booked. Their website says ten working days and we called to confirm but gave ourselves an extra few weeks after those ten days to as apply for the dependant visas but STILL don't have the DTV 😭

We need to be out of Australia and thinking of applying in Penang for the dependant visas. Will this be an issue?

📍 Location: Hanoi

🗓 Submission date: 20 Sep

📑 Materials requested: 22 Sep

✅ Approval date: 26 Sep

Hi everyone! Just wanted to share my experience applying from Hanoi (I’m Australian, DTV workcation).

What I submitted:

• Cover letter

• Company recommendation letter confirming I work remotely from Thailand, won’t seek local employment, and that my income comes from Australia

• Company registration with ABN

Funds evidence:

• 6 months of bank statements

• 2 payslips (Aug & Sep)

Location material:

• Vietnam entry stamp

• Flight ticket ( in and out)

• Hanoi accommodation confirmation

• Photo of me with my passport & hotel room card in front of my Hanoi hotel

They later requested a closer photo of my Vietnam entry stamp (on Monday). That’s it!

I’ve learnt so much from this group that I was able to handle everything myself without using an agent. If you’ve got any questions, feel free to ask, I’m more than happy to give back and help where I can.

Good luck to everyone! 🍀

There was some talk that visa exempt for Australians was to be reduced from 60 to 30 days. I’ve heard nothing confirming this - is this still likely tk happen?

Hi just joined this group as I want to find out more about getting a DTv from Australia. Using the soft option.

Hi members..

Anyone came back to Sydney International Airport recently.

Do we need to do Digital return card online...

Same Thailand have

Thanks

Hi I'm returning to Australia from Phuket on 8th May ( Jetstar) are we still using the Paper Incoming Passenger Card or is there a Digital App..(im reading many things and confusing)Many Thanks

Arrived Thailand 08/04/25 via Suvarnabhumi on DTV issued from Sydney, Australia. No questions, no comments, no concerns. Straight through no problems!

Edit: I forgot to say, this is my second entry into Thailand on this Visa. I read a post tow or three weeks ago by someone saying they needed to show all their DTV documents which they had on their laptop.

Do i need the new digital tourist visa for 2 weeks holiday stay in May. i'm from Australia. Do i need a visa ?

Hey folks. After some DTV advice.

I’m Australian but contine to travel and only head back to Aus around Christmas.

I’m currently in Laos for April.

I was hoping I could get DTV while here before returning in May. However I am being told I have to be back in Australia to do it. 🤬

Anyone have any thoughts, suggestions or alternative routes?
