Hanoi DTV question + advice

I have decided to go to Hanoi to apply for my DTV visa.

As there is no accurate way of telling how long it will take to approve the visa, is it acceptable to arrive in Vietnam on a one way ticket and will the Thai Embassy look for a confirmed flight to Thailand.

Changing ticket dates with Air Asia is impossible.

I am not that great ( understatement ) with stuff like changing documents to PDF, compressing them ... Etc, can anyone recommend an Agent or someone / somewhere in Hanoi who knows what the Embassy requires and can upload what's needed correctly.

Can anyone recommend from their experience a decent place ( budget ) to stay in Hanoi. I know that booking.com has lots but looking for a personal recommendation.

Thanks

Hi

I booked and paid for a flight from bkk to Heathrow London for the 2nd March 2026 . Using indigo via trip.com. Originally the itinerary was for a 1 hour transfer from Mumbai Airport.

Have now been told that my connecting flight from Mumbai to Heathrow has been moved forward by 25 minutes. This gives me 35 minutes for the connecting flight.

Will 35 minutes be enough time for me to board my connecting flight. sorry to have used the DTV for my issue. Has anyone experience this sort of thing before. Thank you.

If I take a fly thru flight from Krabi to Bangkok with a transit in KL.. but I don't pass immig in KL, no stamps, and return to Bangkok right away. Will that count as border run?

TDAC: Where I boarded? Spain or Layover France?

I have a DTV visa. Instead of going through the hassle of extending with another 180 days, i'd prefer going out and coming back in (through air travel).

Would it be a problem if this would happen in the same day? I'm not on visa exemption. I'm on DTV.

Thanks.

Received my DTV 6 months ago in Laos . Due for a 6 month border renewal . Any good options by land or air ? Thanks 🙏

What happens if the airport officer refuses the visa?

What options have people found for an affordable and comfortable way to leave and re-enter Thailand to activate a new 6 month stamp with a DTV. Starting in Bangkok. I know Cambodia is close but people say avoid poi pet so getting a bus to a different Cambodian border requires 2 bus’s I think. Long and uncomfortable. I have seen you can fly to Vietnam and back the same day. Less affordable but much more convenient.

Does any1 else have any better options? Trains? I’m 6f 5” also so lots of transport options become horrible if leg room isn’t sufficient.

A simple question: in summer 26 I plan to fly to bkk but not stay, only to fly onwards to Malaysia for a month, then back to Thailand and to ENTER for a month. So basically buy a return ticket London-bkk but transit on arrival. Do I have to go through Thai immigration on arrival, or stay in airport to catch flight to KL?

Hello,

I'm asking for some advice.

(The anxiety is kicking in.)

I will be travelling from the UK on the 9th July to Vientiane, loa. Then I'll be entering Thailand in the next few days.

The problem is that I'm flying through Bahrain and China on SELF TRANSFER / both airports (collecting my luggage and re-checking it on my onward flightS.

Do I need a visa for travelling through Bahrain and China now.

thank you in advance.
