Be mindful of your Thai bank account too. As DTV holders we’re unable to have Thai bank accounts.

Entered BKK with no issues whatsoever with my brand new DTV. Warm greeting and no questions asked.

Stay the one night to be safe.

Hanoi Vietnam was a smooth and quick process (super stressful!) but totally worth it in the end.

Anonymous participant I know how stressful it is. I just got back to Thailand, and had 7 days of sleepless nights and anxiety in Hanoi haha. If it offers any comfort that 180 days stamp upon reentering Thailand makes it worth it.

A little agony during the waiting process but well worth it once approved. Good luck with your application, I know the waiting sucks. 🙏

I called, emailed, and went in person. They want nothing to do with us.

Wait for electronic response is the reply you will receive.

Your application went from Pending document check to Pending Approval very quickly. No extra documents requested?

They approve in batches as there is only one judication official with the authority to approve so stay calm and hopefully you’ll get a notification soon. They do process and grant approvals over the weekend too.

Anonymous participant yeah Thailand then since that was your last port before Hanoi 👍

Anonymous participant I just got approved on Sunday and I wrote Bangkok Thailand in that field because I too flew from BKK to Hanoi.
