Recently had my DTV Approved at Thai Consulate Ho Chi Minh City.

New Zealand Passport

Bank statement was just a printout of my online banking.

The proof of funds money was deposited just a few days before applying.

I also got my dad to write a letter saying that he was willing and able to to support me if I ran out of money. But no screenshots of his bank or anything like that.

I included a copy of my work contract which was from a US company. It was not verified by embassy as some places suggest is required.

Proof of address was just a reservation printout from the hotel I was staying in Vietnam.

Overall it was a far smoother process than I had been led to believe. No documents needed verified from respective embassies, and no issues applying from Vietnam as a New Zealand Citizen on a tourist visa.

Staff were friendly and did a quick check over all my documents before taking my money ($340 USD, no bent or folded notes).

My application was processed in 2 days.

Can't guarantee your experience will be the same, but overall I highly recommend Ho Chi Minh City if you are currently in Thailand and looking to do a visa run somewhere to apply for DTV.

My experience went far smoother than I had anticipated.

Hi, I have a question:

We are going to Thailand at the beggining of the year.

My husband is a kiwi (new zealand passport) And we want to stay 59 days. We do not have his single tourist visa extension.

Can he make his visa once we arrive in Thailand?

I will appreciate some advice.

Hi just wanting some advice and help with visas please. We are travelling to Thailand for 20 days next year from New Zealand, I have a UK passport and my partner has a New Zealand passport. Do we need a visa? If so what type? My partner is also having a medical procedure, does this change anything?

I am going to Thailand on 1st June, already booked a trip to vietnam 1st july So i am assuming that is OK, my flight back into thailand from Vietnam is 15th July but that is it. At this stage I have no other exit flights booked , i want to do a border land crossing as I am staying in chae hom before my next 30 days expires.

My question is do I need a flight out of thailand booked before I can come back in to Thailand from Vietnam ? New Zealand Passport .

Thankyou for any advise

Many thanks in advance for what must be repetitive questions. Just a bit confused about my options for a New Zealand passport. Can I get a 60 day VOA then extend for 30 days more? I currently have return flights booked for a 5 month period and I'm hoping to stay most of that time if possible, with a visa run. Should I book a cheap flight out to another country for within 60 days of first arrival, then cancel if I get an extension? Thanks again.

Hi all, I am in Vietnam and need to get my Thailand Visa before my November 26th flight. How many days before the 26th should I get to Hanoi? I have New Zealand passport.

I have a doctor appointment on Da Nang on the 22nd November which is vital.

Could I just do a VOA in Thailand?

Any advice welcome.

Hi

I applied and paid for TR visa in my home country and expected/hoped to be stamped in for 60 days. However I only received 30 days on arrival in Bangkok. I am now in Chiang Mai. Where do I go to extend and is the cost still 1,900 although I have TR? Travelling on NZ passport.

Thank you

Has anyone on here who came in on Visa Exempt, and now on amnesty, applied for a 30 day extension after 26 Sept using their Embassy letter? And been granted?

FYI - I arrived 1st March on NZ passport. My letter was dated 12th July, but needs to be updated which I know. My question was for anyone who has been granted extension with a letter dated post-23rd July. Thanks

I hope everyone is ok here, we were on the attempted Malaysia air flight on Friday Just gone that was suppose to connect in KL then go straight to Melbourne. And well guess what that never Happened.

I’m a resident in Australia on a NZ passport my whole family are living there and my Hubbie works there and they won’t let me back in to Australia. It has been Exhausting to be honest.

I’m on my Third cancelled flight.

So I like many of you are hoping that when this goes to cabinet tomorrow that the pass it so it will just renew it’s self every 30days till we can go home.

Stay safe.

Good morning

Next year my husband and myself will be coming back for a long long time I am 54 Australian passport my Husband 51 new Zealand passport what is the best process to gain the appropriate visas and where from Australia or Thailand. Many Thanks .
