Okay question: If in Ho Chi Minh to do the DTV, would it be better to do the application online through Thai e-visa website or go to immigration in person? Please don't suggest an agency.

Hi! Anyone knows if the Thai consulate in Ho Chi Minh is open today or officially closed? Official documents state April 13 for Songkran. Thank you :)

Anyone else having trouble uploading documents? I'm applying at Ho chi min. Every time they ask for new documents which are almost exactly the same as the ones I've sent, I reformat upload them again and then it says they're still asking for the same documents. Somehow the upload isn't working. Has anyone resolved this problem?

I am applying for DTV remote workcation in Ho Chi Minh on March 7.

I meet the financial requirements, I have a remote job but I haven't begun yet so I cannot prove income and Ive been traveling for 4 months so there is no other income to provide. I can provide all information about the job, business, salary etc. and my boss is willing to produce any necessary documents. The website doesn't mention needing to submit proof of income but it seems many people are asked to. If I clearly explain start date, salary, position, business etc. is that enough?

hi again

if I applying for the DTV in Ho Chi Ming - it seems you can only do an online application for the DTV or do I visit the emabssy in Ho Chi Ming? Sorry I am confused because why do people say it takes so many days waiting in Vietnam when you are doing it online. If you have to go there in person to the emabssy how to book an apointment?

Hi everyone 👋

I’m planning to apply for the DTV visa next month at the Thai Embassy in HO CHI MINH 🇻🇳. I understand that the embassy usually asks for a 6-month bank statement showing at least 500,000 THB.

I currently have that amount for the past three months, but I didn’t have that balance four to six months ago, the funds were transferred from my parents.

I’m from Singapore and have had a regular income of about USD 5k per month for the past 3 years.

The income goes through Wise Business → Wise Personal → local bank account, where I handle my living expenses and payments.

My only concern is that since the 500,000 THB is a fresh deposit (around 20,000 USD), it might raise questions when they review the six-month statement. I could explain that it’s a gift from my parents, but I’m not sure if that would be accepted.

Has anyone had experience with this situation when applying?

Would really appreciate your thoughts or advice. 🙏
