Hey everyone 👋

I’ve downloaded the ISSA app today since they claim to offer a money-back guarantee and handle all the document checks for the DTV visa. Before I go ahead with everything, I wanted to ask if anyone here has experience with them?

A couple of things I’m unsure about:

1️⃣ They keep requesting an employment statement from an employer. We’re self-employed and our company is registered in Dubai. Has anyone in a similar situation gone through this?

→ Which documents did you provide?

→ Did you create an employment contract for yourself, or how did you handle it?

2️⃣ I know I can search in the group, but the information is sometimes outdated or conflicting. So I’d love some recent first-hand feedback:

Has anyone recently applied for the DTV in Ho Chi Minh or Hanoi and where did the process go faster for you?

I’ve seen mixed opinions — sometimes people say HCMC is slower now, others say Hanoi has longer waits. So if anyone here has current insights or a recent timeline, it would be super helpful 🙏

Thanks a lot in advance! 🙌

Anyone with DTV -

Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh?

(How long did it take you to get approved?)

Has anyone ever applied for a DTV visa in Ho Chi Minh City? How was it? Was the wait long?

Alternate Soft Power Cooking Schools Bangkok

1.) What are some alternate soft power cooking schools in Bangkok to apply with apart from Arun Cooking & House of Taste ?

2.) Between Hanoi, HCMC & Bali, who has had success applying there from which city ?

Yes, I’ve used the search bar of this group religiously. Just good to collect additional data. Thanks

Hi everyone I plan to apply for my visa in Ho Chi Minh City on Monday November 10 but I’m hearing the wait is long right now so I’m considering Hanoi instead If you’re in Vietnam which city is faster these days and any recent wait times or tips

For Ho Chi Minh embassy applications from Da Nang, do they require 3 months or 6 months evidence of 500,000 baht currently?

Has anyone hear had experience applying with the thai dtv visa, ho chi minh city?

Hi guys

I received an additional document request from the Thai Embassy in Ho Chi Minh City.

The message says:

Please provide the latest copy of your full passport, including all pages (even the empty ones). If you have a Temporary Resident Card (TRC), kindly submit it along with the passport. The photos must show the date and time they were taken.

However, I submitted the PDF without showing or writing the date and time on the photos.

Will this cause my application to be rejected ??

Did anyone apply for a Muay Thai EFC - DTV in Ho Chi Minh City Vietnam and can tell me how long it took for a response? I applied Sep, Monday 15th. Still here

Hi

Has anybody any experience of obtaining a DTV from HCM

How long should I factor in a return flight back to Thailand
