1. Landlord can do this through an online system, or if you own your own property you can do this yourself

2. Single day is fine (border bounce). Passport and visa should be enough but they have a right to ask for more documentation

3. You have to do a 90-day report (first time at your local immigration office, after that can do online)

4. No there’s one type of DTV, although you can get it based on different reasons (workation, soft power, dependant). It differs from a regular single entry or multiple entry tourist visa. You can find all the different types of visas and their explanation on the site where you applied for the DTV

Congrats! Was it 5 days in total or 5 business days (incl/excl day of submission?)?

I submitted my application on Wednesday evening to HCM and think it’s also complete in terms of docs, not really expecting them to ask for anything additional. Just a bit impatient 😅

I got a server connection error after entering my cc (Mastercard), but when I refreshed the page and logged back in it said the status was ‘processing/pending documents check’ and about 20 minutes later I received an email with the invoice/proof of payment. This was Wednesday (2 days ago). Maybe try again in a few hours?

Thanks! Flying to HCMC on Wednesday 🤞🏼🤞🏼

May I ask, the account, was it a checking account? I have the money in a savings account, that’s ok too? (I’m applying for soft power so I guess they’ll be less interested in seeing salary deposits)

Passport, you only provided photo of the Vietnam entry stamp (and of course the bio data page)? Or all pages with stamps?

TIA 🙏🏼

@Cameron ********
ah ok. But I guess a pdf would work as well? What do you mean by booking pass btw?

@Cameron ********
thanks! You mean you had one (pdf) file of these three pieces of information?

Hi! Going next week, also Muay Thai route. Which pages of your passport did you give them copies of, just the ones with the stamps or all pages (even the empty ones)?
Sascha **********
I have a fairly new passport (may this year) and the only stamps are entry to TH, ED visa + extension. And of course by that time the Vietnam entry stamp. So many many empty pages. Do they want ALL those empty pages??

Thanks

, could you list exactly which gym documents they wanted? My friend is going to HCMC in 2 weeks and I will follow in January. So we can get the gym owner to get all documents ready for us 😊

So far we have:

Cover/invitation letter

Training schedule

Invoice (6 months)

Business license

Owner ID + signature

Do we need anything else?

(Of course we will provide bank statements, passport copies, etc. I just want to know what to request from the gym owner)

🙏🏼🙏🏼

They don’t do this for other visas that require a certain amount in the bank (eg retirement, marriage, LTR), so why would they do this for the DTV? Perhaps when you go get an extension, we’ll know in ~2 months. But not upon entering the country I would expect.
