* Ho Chi Minh City - LINE contact *

Hi everyone. I'm attaching here the contact details of the Thai Embassy in Ho Chi Minh City / Vietnam so you can get a response from them on the LINE app (if they decide to answer🫣). I was able to get this from them after I got there physically because there is no way to reach them.

Hope this helps someone here:

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

Wanna get DTV (workation). Where is Hanoi/Ho Chi Minh City (Vietnam) approved faster? How many days on average? Please let me know something.

Hi everyone!

I'm applying for a DTV spouse/dependent visa at the Thai consulate in Ho Chi Minh City and just received a request for additional documents. I would really appreciate your insights.

Here's the situation:

I submitted my bank statement (6 months), my husband's bank statement (also 6 months), and his financial sponsorship letter. Now the consulate is asking for:

"Provide financial sponsorship letter along with transaction for 6 months and account balance not less than 500,000 baht."

I'm confused because I already provided exactly that - a sponsorship letter and both of our bank statements showing consistent activity and sufficient funds.

They also asked:

"Will you stay in Thailand continuously for 5 years? Are you currently working? If yes, please provide info. If not, what are your plans for the next 5 years in Thailand?"

I'm not sure what exactly they're looking for or if this usually means a likely rejection.

Has anyone experienced something similar at the HCM consulate (or elsewhere)?

Any advice would be really helpful!

I am looking to make a Visa run for a 90-Day Visa.

Where would you recommend, Hanoi, Ho Chin Min City, or Vientiane Laos?

I will be doing an E-Visa and spending 14+ days there.

Looking for feedback on those that applied for a Non-O Thai Family in Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh, are there many differences in requirements? Processing time, document uploads, length of visa..

Or would it be better to go to Vientiane, Laos seeing as they offer more convenient options?

Hi everyone, I’d truly appreciate the group’s help.

I submitted DTV applications for my wife and kids (as dependents) at the Thai Consulate in Ho Chi Minh City 21 days ago (I already hold a DTV visa as a remote worker).

After 5 days, their applications changed to “Pending Approval”, and they’ve been stuck there for more than 2 weeks.

I’ve tried calling the consulate (no answer) and sent emails (no reply).

Does anyone know how to expedite this process? Or can anyone recommend an agent who has a direct line to the consulate?

Thanks so much in advance!

Hello everyone i applied for the dtv in ho chi minh on the 29th of April on the 6th of may changed to pending approval 😀

hey guys. I submitted my application in Ho Chi Minh City, on April 17th. And On April 18th, the status changed to ‘pending approval’, and there has been no progress since then. It has now been more than 10 workdays. Is anyone else experiencing the same situation? What should I do? Should I contact the embassy?

Anyone else waiting on a DTV visa in Ho Chi Minh?

I applied on April 1st and it’s still showing as “pending approval”… anything I can do to speed things up?
