I am looking at applying for a DTV with Muay Thai (Canadian passport but considering going to Chiang Mai to scope out gyms before choosing one, and applying from Hanoi) I have the 500k+ funds in a regular savings account.

But I'm seeing that several people are being asked to also report income.

I only have spousal support as income (declared on my taxes to CRA, I pay taxes on it just like a regular income) but it solely shows as a single monthly etransfer into my bank account.

Will this cause a problem? I couldn't find a clear answer, so I don't know I there's a better way to word my inquiry.

We've been hearing a lot of rejected attempts in Hanoi over the past few weeks, both from soft power and workcation. But are there lucky people out there who got it successfully in the past month or so and how long did it take? Share with the rest of us your experience and give us some hope. haha.

Greetings all

Getting a bit concerned about my plans and would appreciate some input

I have been to Thailand 3 times since October last year , 10 days and then 21 days twice . Last visit was May/ June

Now I plan to travel at the end of this month with an itinerary of Chiang Mai for a week then fly Bkk to Hanoi spend a week near Sapa , then back to Thailand for a week in Bangkok

How will the visa (s ) work and do you see snags ? I'm on South African passport and flying in and out of Bkk on Emirates . Will have return flight issued and hotel booked in Chiang Mai

Hi. I’m looking to apply from vietnam via Muay Thai route. Where is the fastest processing embassy?

What about opinions on Laos? Am I better off going to Vietnam?

I applied for the DTV in Hanoi about a week ago. Can I travel to central Vietnam (which is linked to HCMC embassy, not Hanoi) while I wait for the visa to be processed, or do I have to stay around Hanoi?

Hi everyone,

A friend submitted his DTV application at HAN (Hanoi, Vietnam) on July 22, and it changed to "Pending Approval" on July 24.

Today is August 1st (Friday evening) and he still hasn't received any update.

Is this delay unusual?

Has anyone had their visa approved over the weekend before?

Any insights or similar experiences would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks 🙏

Myanmar passport holder, Issa applied my visa last Wed n today I got my visa. It took 5 working days in Hanoi.

Can I fly to Ho-Chi-Minh but still apply in Hanoi? Any experiences? No scared and afraid people pls 🙏

Has anyone here had success going in person to the Embassy in Hanoi to clarify or fix an issue with their DTV application?

I got an email asking for more documents

It says ‘ not enough money ‘

but I already submitted 3 months showing over £11,000 (which is above 500,000 THB).

I’m confused to what they’re asking - has anyone experienced this please

Hello everyone, is anyone else waiting for final approval in Hanoi for days on end without any progress?
