I’m in HCMC (Vietnam) for 10 days, then I’m flying back to Canada. Is it safe to apply for DTV soft power or is that too tight? If I start application in Vietnam with e-visa, can I do the follow up and send extra documents if needed from my home country? Or application gets automatically rejected? Thanks

Just wanted to say thank you.

I just got my DTV today via HCMC (Vietnam)

I have applied Sunday near 6 pm

Tuesday got a document request for a translation of some document (had my original work contract in Romanian).

Went into pending approval 30min after sending the translation.

Friday at 6pm got a document request of all page of my passport.

And that morning I got the approved visa.

Took 6 business days, pretty fast.

Hello! I am planning on applying for remote work DTV in Danang through the eVisa at embassy based in HCMC. Has anyone else applied whilst based in Danang using eVisa system? Any tips or thoughts?

I'm UK Ltd company director. It would be good to know what documents people have been using as proof so far.

Cheers!

DTV in HCMC: Approved

Big thanks to this amazing group, it really helped a lot!

Arrived 28.10 and applied as soon as I got to my hotel, it was almost 3AM when I submitted it.

Documents: photo + passport Company's registration + documents to prove that I'm the sole owner

Bank statement for the last 3 months with over 500k THB in there ( only 5 transactions in the last 3 months since I don't use that account much and it was fine)

Portfolio: my website links, YouTube channel links as well as screenshots from the studio page where it shows analytics and explaining only owner/manager could see that part of the channels)

Explaining that I own the websites and 3 of these YouTube channels + manage on YouTube channel for the client + what I do and it is all done remotely

Wise payment slip from my client that she paid me (through her personal account though and it was fine)

No extra documents needed. Approved Friday 22:53 (!!) I was surprised to get approved outside of the business hours but sure am glad I did and can go to Thailand today instead of spending the weekend here.

Edit: forgot to add proof of location. For that I gave them arriving to Vietnam visa stamp + Wise account statement where last 2 transactions are from Vietnam

Hi I am trying to book an appointment for the DTV visa in HCMC, Vietnam. But it says all appointment spots are full pretty much well into next year even?

My DTV was approved on Monday by the Thai Embassy in HCMC. I have a 10-month-old baby and would like to apply for her as a dependent. I have a few questions about applying for my child online:

Can the Thai Embassy in HCMC accept my bank statements to sponsor my child?

For the "occupation" field, since she's just a baby and not a student yet, what should I do?

We plan to travel to Thailand on November 2, and I'm worried I won't have enough time for her visa application. Is there any way to handle this situation without changing the flight date?

Thank you for your advice.

Has anyone received a dtv visa in HCMC as a freelancer but without company? Is it even possible?

DTV Approved in HCMC, Vietnam!

For those who have applied in Vietnam HCMC, are bank statements with just the balance on them for the last 6 months okay? Or do they need to see specific transactions?

I’m applying for DTV in Taipei or HCMC end of October/early Novemebr.

I have cover letter, letter from employer, bank accts with necessary money + highlighted direct deposits into my bank acct from my employer, USA drivers license, house rental contract in Thailand, and USA passport, birth certificates for all 4 kids and marriage certificate for my wife.

I’m coming off a 1 year work permit here in Thailand. Been living here for 2 years.

3 questions

Where is a printable DTV visa form? (All I can find online is E visa form)

Do I need a form for each of my kids and wife for their follower on my DTV? Or do I just give embassy their passports with my application?

Do I pay 10,000baht for each of my family members too?

Any recommendation on HCMC vs Taipei?

Thanks in advance. I’ll let you know how it went.
