Congrats on your DTV..How long was your cooking course?

Thats why I said possible updates. It is more likely they got it from feedback. Japan and Taipei do not list their actual approval criteria but from feedback from others we know what's needed.

I do not think a blanket new requirement update has been made available. They are going by feedback from applicants, possible embassy website updates etc. Not sure it is many though.

You also need the immigration form of entry and exit. When I applied in Dec, it was not needed but from Jan it is a requirement.

Anonymous participant Ok, very unusual but Vietnam seems to be tightening up it's approvals of DTV. Local airlines may have received additional instructions too regarding check in for DTVERS.
