Is there anyone who applied for a DTV in Ho Chi Minh City on March 25, 2025? I applied on that date, but my status is still “Pending Document Check.” I’m wondering how long it usually takes to get approved. Could anyone share your experience? I am kinda worry right now and I still need to change my flight.

Thanks in advance!

I am applying for the long-term resident visa , is there any benefit to picking it up before entering the country? I could fly down to LA if I had to, if there is any advantage.

Also I was just told this by the person answering ltr visa questions. But I’m not sure what this means in practice “The pre-screening document service is currently unavailable. You are advised to submit your visa application, along with the required documents into the system first. Our staff will begin reviewing your application once submitted.”

Question.. Im applying for my visa and I have a question. Im from California USA, have a California ID with my fathers address on it. Im currently living in Missouri USA. I don't mind my fathers address being on documents so he can collect mail etc. but would this mean I should apply through the embassy in LA rather than Missouri?

Thank you in advance!

Is it common to get questioned when re entering the Kingdom? I come in and out a few times a year. This time I did 6 weeks here then flew to Taipei for 10 days, when I came in this time he asked how long I intended to stay and wanted to see my onward tkt.

I was planning to do another 6 weeks and go to the Philippines for a few weeks before returning again. Feeling a bit apprehensive now.

I hear people doing border runs for a day without any problems.

Just wanted voice my appreciation for this group and how helpful it is. Managed to open a bank account with my Non-O Visa. All the info on here has been invaluable, only got one knock back for a ridiculous reason, ie middle initial on my driver license wasn’t acceptable. Next bank, no problem. Shout out to Brandon Thurkettle for answering mine and a lot of newbie questions. For anyone in BKK in the same situation. Go to main Bangkok Bank at Emporium on Sukhumvit. Not sure if it will help, but I went on Sunday at 1pm, and I was the only customer. Best of luck to y’all

**ATTENTION ALL MEMBERS

TDAC (Thailand Digital Arrival Card) **

It would appear that the Thailand Digital Arrival Card (the system that replaces the old TM6 paper arrival/departure cards) has an operational website..

It would also appear in the user manual that this is for EVERY foreign traveler who enters thailand by air or land.

Here's the link;

[members only]

They have good video about how it works and the user guide is also easy to understand.

Other than the earlier announcement saying it would start May 1 there has been no update

Just wanted people to know it appears to be 'up and running' 🙂

I am NOT telling people to start using it, just that it would appear it's actually going to roll out (hopefully when they say May 1)
