Can I apply for a DTV while training Muay Thai in Chiang Mai but living in Bangkok?

Kool *******

They are not stupid. Ask yourself how you can regularly go to a Muay Thai gym in Chaing Mai, 700km away from Bangkok, where you say you live? You apply at Thai embassies for the DTV, and you are assuming they don't know the geography/map of their own country.

Can my mother sponsor my visa application with a letter and bank statement?

Kool *******

From my experience the only sponsorship letters that are allowed are those of dependants applying based on the husband/wife's primary application, not from those not married to the applicant, and dependants based on that marriage. Your mom can't write a sponsorship letter for you. That hasn't been approved anywhere.

Do I need an apostille for my business registration when applying for a DTV Workcation visa in Hanoi?

You will also need a letter from your business stating that you are allowed to work remotely, even though it is your business.

What is the earliest date to apply for a DTV visa for Thailand?

Kool *******

It is five years from the date of issue. If you don't use it by then it becomes invalid.

Can I return to Thailand while my visa application is pending in Vietnam?

Kool *******

If they find that you are not still in the country they can, and do, reject your application. Lots of the time when they have doubts if you are still in the country they will ask for a copy of every page of your passport, even the blank pages. You can take your chance, and risk the bt10,000 application fee if you are wrong.

What should I know about the DTV visa application process regarding bank statements for the Thai Embassy in Ho Chi Minh?

Kool *******

Don't try to explain anything more than they ask for. They do not care where the money came from, only that it is in your personal account.
