Hello everyone.

I’m planning to apply in Ho Chi Minh. My average balance over the past 5 months has been around 500,000 THB, but I recently needed some money, so my current balance is only 200,000 THB. In a few days, I will deposit more funds to maintain over 500,000 THB again.

In this case, will there be any issues with my application?

Also, I have been here for about 5 months now. Do I need to wait exactly 6 months before applying?

Thank you, friends! Have a great day!

Hi everyone :)

I will apply this weekend for DTV Soft Act. I am in Thailand right now. Which embassy in SEA is the best and fastest right now? I am thinking of Vietnam, better Hanoi or HCMC ? Or better another country?

Thanks to every help here 😊

Hi everyone,

I was planning to go to Ho Chi Minh City to apply in person at the Thai embassy for the DTV visa.

However I found some informations saying that only online applications are available now.

So my question is: Is it still possible to apply in-person at the thai embassy or, do I need to apply online?

Thanks

Hi everyone, apologies if this has been answered before, I have used the search but didnt find the info I was looking for.

DTV in Hanoi or HCM

-do you recommend to apply in Hanoi or HCM?

-required funds: I read that bank statements for 6 months must be submitted but also heard from people transferring the required 500.00THB just before. Can someone shed light on this, please? How much money does have to be in the account and for how long? Is it okay if its not in just one account?

-translation of documents: I understand that any documents submitted must be translated into English. Do they need to be notarised or is a regular translation sufficient (for my freelance contracts and invoices, for example).

Thank you so much!

Hello ☺️

I have landed in Ho Chi Minh but from the posts I've read I feel like I want to try apply in Hanoi instead.

If I now fly to Hanoi internally from Ho Chi Minh can I apply there?

Also, if I get rejected in Ho Chi Minh does this mean I am not allowed to leave Vietnam, and fly back into Hanoi and try again at a later date there?

Thank you

Hello,

i've seen mixed messages on where is better to apply from, Ho Chi Minh City or Hanoi?

Can anyone give input on this?

Also, if you enter Vietnam via Ho Chi Minh could you still apply at the Hanoi embassy given it is all done and processed online? Or would you have to have arrived via the Hanoi entry port to apply there?

Thank you so much

Hi all, I saw some past messages around it but can't find them anymore so sorry for asking what has already been asked.

I'm going to start a new job (remote) and would to apply to workation DVT. I know some embassies rejected such applications because it's a new employment relationship and they want to show 6 months of payslip from the same employer.

This is not a money issue (I have 6 months payslips from my previous employer since I'm jumping from a contract to another, and have the required balance), but just the fact that this is a new contact.

Do you know the position of HCM/Hanoi/PP/Ventiane on this topic? did anybody got a DVT approved in the region with a brand new employment contract?

Thanks
