**DTV Visa Approved in Hanoi

**Our Thailand DTV's have been approved. As South Africans applying at the Hanoi Consulate, here’s a timeline of our journey:

Main Applicant - South African

* Application Submitted: Wednesday, 16th October 2024, at 11 pm (just after landing in Vietnam, selecting the Hanoi Consulate), have my own business therefore selected Visa type "Workcation".

* Status Update: Application status changed from "Document Check" to "Pending Approval" on Thursday, 17th October, around 10 am.

* Approval Received: Monday, 21st October 2024, at 10 am.

Documents Submitted for Main Applicant

* Bank Statements: Approximately two months’ worth of statements from three separate accounts (savings account

holding required funds and my cheque account where my salary is paid into).

* Employment Documentation: Employment contract and supporting company documents to prove ownership of the business.

* Current Location Verification: Photo of the Vietnam visa as proof of presence in Vietnam.

* Identification: Biodata page of passport or travel document.

* Recent Photograph: Taken within the last six months.

Dependent Visa - South African

* Application Submitted: Monday, 21st October 2024, around 12 pm.

* Status Update: Documents reviewed, and status changed to "Pending Approval" by end of the day on 21st October.

* Approval Received: Tuesday, 29th October 2024, at 12:23 pm.

Documents Submitted for Dependent Visa - 2 separate applications for 2 children

* Bank Statements: Three months' worth from three different accounts (main applicant only).

* Current Location Verification: Photo of the Vietnam visa as proof of being present in Vietnam (for each dependent).

* Identification: Biodata page of passport or travel document (for each dependent).

* Recent Photograph: Taken within the last six months.

* Unabridged Birth Certificate: Includes both parent details, matching main applicant’s passport information.

* Main Applicant’s Approved Visa: Provided as proof of connection to the dependent.

*As a single parent traveling with my kids, it was interesting to note that no consent documents were required from their father.*

Additional Follow-Ups for Dependent Visa:

* Since dependent Visa approval seemed to take longer than mine, I made daily calls to the consulate from 24th October, during which I was advised that the processing time for a dependent visa is typically five business days.

* Messages Sent: Contacted the Hanoi Consulate via Facebook on Friday, 25th October, and received a reply confirming the five-day processing time for dependent visas. 23rd was a public holiday and was noted counted.

* Emails Sent: Attempted contact with thaiembassy.han@mfa.go.th (no response) and later to consular.han@mfa.go.th on 28th October.

* Consulate Response: Received an email from consular.han@mfa.go.th on 29th October at 8:49 am, they confirmed the main visa was approved. I responded promptly to request an update on the pending dependent visas.

* Final Approval: Dependent visas granted at 12:23 pm on 29th October.

Thank you to everyone in this group for the support, the information, responses queries etc. made all the difference!

Hello everyone! I have a question please.

I have my bank statement issued on 13 Sep (the record dated since 7 months back in Feb) I’m thinking of booking an online appointment to apply for a DTV visa on 30 Sep at the Hanoi Consulate or on 4 Oct at the HCMC the embassy. Would this bank statement work as it’s issued two to three weeks before the visa application date? Thank you!!

Hi all,

I've read a lot of posts regarding the DTV and I just want to clarify something as it seems a little too easy.

I can exit Thailand to say Hanoi, book a cookery class in Thailand, apply for the DTV through the Hanoi consulate online as long as I show them my entry stamp, then I can get a 5 year multi entry visa?

It can't be that easy could it?

If anyone can say I'm talking nonsense, then please put me right 😄

Anyone had any luck (post-covid) with Hanoi or HCMC Thai consulates for getting "O" visa for reason of spousal visitation? I understand that Savannakhet is functioning, and have (pre-covid) done HCMC. There are now nonstop flights from CNX to HAN and SGN. This is a lot easier to traverse than CNX-UBP and a 2 hour bus ride to Mukdahan, then 1 hour to get over the border. Cost should be the same, time taken should be much less, if HCMC or Hanoi Thai consulates are functioning.

Is it true that you can’t go back to the same consulate for a second ED visa? I got my first one in Hanoi back in May which thanks to all the advice I got from this forum went really well. I now need to get another one as the first only lasted 8 months and my school told me I couldn’t go to Hanoi again.
