But you are Vietnamese, correct? Can a non-resident of Vietnam apply for the visa in Vietnam?

@Yuqing *****

how do you know this? What nearby country did you do it with?

@Andrew ******

you have 0 evidence to back this up so don't say it wont happen if you get the visa since you have 0 idea if that is true or not. Remember, immigration is a separate entity and they can do whatever they want and ask for proof of enrollment in your school / program when you try to re-enter. The fact is no one knows the answer to his question.

I'm in the same boat. Shoot me a message if you'd like. From what I understand you need to cancel your Ed visa and leave Thailand before it expires. Then apply for DTV outside Thailand and come back.

@Jake ******

Hi Jake! I just need to stay beyond the 3 months...ideally 1 year max so the Elite visa isn't really a good option for me. Can I shoot you a PM?

@Darren ******

yeah the more I look at it I think you’re right. Thanks for responding.

@Jazz ******

yes I'm going tomorrow morning

@Jazz ******

yes. Il start it next week when my flight is confirmed.

@Carine *****

yes for sure, got it all squared away, thanks Carine!

I asked the same question and I believe the answer is about 99% yes. However, many have recommended going for the TR visa for 60 days so that is what I am going to do just to be really safe.
