For those that applied for DTV in Vietnam is it better to:

• A) Just buy a one way plane ticket to Hanoi, then once visa is approved buy another one way back? (Sometimes at airports they wanna see ur return flight so that is my concern with this option)

• ⁠B) Buy a Return Flex ticket. So you can change your fly back date depending on when your visa is approved.

Onward travel and Visa.

I'm getting so much conflicting advice, hopefully someone here can set me straight,

Australian passport, arriving 3rd of September to bangkok international airport. One way ticket.

At the momment I have no Visa, will I get 30 days on arrival, or 60 days on arrival,

Can you extend for another 30 days, regardless of if I get 30 or 60 days on arrival.

Do immigration require an onward ticket, if so, does it have to be a plane ticket, or would something like a bus ticket, hat yai to Penang be sufficient.

I appreciate any advice, thank you.

I understand that it’s possible to get two tourist visas per year without much trouble. Am I right in thinking that the year is calculated as a calendar year - so two tourist visas between January and December of a particular year?

If this is the case then could I get a tourist visa from September 2025 to December 2025 (including 30 day extension) and then two consecutive tourist visas from January 2026 to May 2026?

Do we get a reset every January?

I was in Thailand for 90 days from Nov24-Jan25 then left for 4 months. My current 90 day visit will end in a few weeks. I will be away for 2 months and hope to return mid November. I understand that there is no definite answer if I will be allowed to return, but am wondering if anyone with similar travel patterns has been turned away.

For those of you who have already left or returned from Thailand to extend your 180-day visa, did they ask you for any documents at the airport besides the printed DTV Visa form?
