Singapore or Hanoi for dtv workcation?

Hi there,

I’m based in Singapore running my own registered business in Singapore as a coach. How is it like to apply in Singapore for dtv? I heard applying in Hanoi is faster. I’m half a mind cos I got all my details here and don’t have to pay for accommodation in Singapore but on the other hand, I heard Hanoi is faster. Advice appreciated please. 🙏🏻

Is it possible approval for the DTV approval to be given over the weekend / outside usual working hours (9-5ish) ? We applied in Hanoi on Monday, yesterday (Thursday) we received a request for an additional document to confirm our location. It is now Friday but are current accommodation ends tomorrow and we are wondering how many days extra accomodation we should extend. Appreciate we can’t know when we will hear back but if approval is never given over the weekend then we might as well book until Monday, otherwise we will just book day by day, hence the ask - thank you in advance! ☺️

Hi, everyone.

I am preparing for a soft power dtv visa

One thing that takes me is that I have enough finances, but I don't last three months.(Money moves between my account)

In this case, Haino can I have a good application?

At this point, the holding is about 7 weeks in a row, and the final balance is significantly over 500,000 baht.

My nationality is South Korea.

Is it worth a challenge to travel to Hanoi and apply for a visa?

And should the soft power documents issued by the academy be close to the visa application date? If you refuse the first application, I wonder if it can be reused in the second application

Thank you. God bless everyone

Success! Hanoi 6.5 Working days. Workation. Freelancer.

Dec 1 - Applied late afternoon

Dec 2 - Changed Pending Documents Check to Pending Approval

Dec 9 - Approved

I did a thorough search in the group to see what "additional documents" Hanoi has requested in the past, and made sure to include them all. That's why I think I got no "additional documents request".

Pretty straightforward process! If you're in Hanoi highly recommend Egg Coffee at Cafe Giang and Bun Cha at Bun Cha Ta Hanoi.

Good luck!

DTV question (Hanoi vs Taipei vs KL) (Softpower vs Job contract)

I’m a contractor for a company and I have my own freelance business.

First question is which one of those 3 should I go apply next week?

Second question would be should I go through to Muay Thai school route or rely on my contractor job position? (Not sure if it matters, I’m a sales director as a contractor, not full time employee)

Any suggestions would be helpful, thank you

Where has people gotten their DTVs in neighboring countires?

How was the experience?

Thank you so much!

Hey regarding obtaining a TR60 in Vietnam. I see that HCMC requires an online appointment now in order to apply for a visa, is that correct? I see the appointments are NOT available until late next week. If true and I cannot just TURN UP like before, are there any reports on Hanoi? Can I just turn up in Hanoi, since I dont want to stay in HCMC for another week just to get a visa... (yes I know other option is as US citizen a Visa Exempt also but... prefer a TR60....)

Thank you for feedback on HCMC / Hanoi.....

Hello,

I usually do my visas in Penang, but this time I have to go to Hanoi. I wasn't able to navigate the Hanoi embassy website very well, so I'm asking here:

1. How much time does the process take to get a 3 month business visa in Hanoi? In Penang you can get it on the next day.

2. Are there any additional documents that are needed to get the 3 month visa in Hanoi (comparing with Penang)? Don't want to go with the standard documentation and get a visa refused.

Thank you!

Ok peeps! Need a bit of advice. Booking my next visa run in a couple of days. Where to go? Vientiane, HCM, or Hanoi? I know Vientiane you don't need all the paperwork. But what a about the other two?

TIA😊
