Thank You for your helpful report 👍

Congratulations 👏👏👏

PRINT OUT THE EMAIL THAT HAS YOUR DTV VISA.

That's what you should do... print it out.

You may have to show PROOF of your DTV Visa to airline staff on check-in for your flight ✈️ to Thailand...even to the connecting airline staff. Or to the land border crossing entry Thai Immigration Officer.

Upon arrival into Thailand, show the DTV visa to the Thai Immigration Officer and look at the STAMP placed in your passport to be sure you are STAMPED in for 180 days.

No...you are to stay in the country where you are applying for the DTV visa until the decision is known.

Not at the same time.

Absolutely NOT 🚫... reply to the Thai Embassy or Consulate and Stay in Vietnam until the decision is known. Good Luck 🍀

There's no criminal record check for the DTV visa.

YES you MUST first get the DTV visa for yourself before applying for your family members.

He's 🚫 NOT cheating the system.

True... But that's not what several posters in reply want to read. They're all knowing and sadly.. incorrect.

Ask your airline

WRONG ❌... They have the right to deny boarding.

That's WHY it's recommended that you PRINT OUT the DTV visa for presentation to the airline staff.

And requesting a supervisor review of the denial of the boarding pass.

That can happen at your initial flight ✈️ check-in as well as the connecting flights ✈️ to Thailand.

Every time I have flown to Thailand from the USA, I have been ASKED to see my Thai Visa. I sticky note the passport page for easy access to the stamped one year extension of stay as RETIRED.

In pre-retired years, I always had a one way ticket to a SE Asia country served by a Skyteam partner airline (Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Seoul or Taipei), as I would book it using 20,000 frequent flyer miles...after arrival into Thailand, I would cancel the booking and the miles used were returned to my airline account without charge.

YES... it's a multiple entry DTV visa for each family member.
