my visa isn't single entry. this was an announcement from the thai authorities with more details about how all dtv visas work

@Mason ******

no, there was some announcement made the other week with more details about how the visa works. I'm pretty sure it said the visa is valid for 5 years, but you only get 180 days plus a 180 day extension. then canceled

@Braydon ********

pretty sure the guy who runs this group posted it about a week or so ago. when the statement was released by thai immigration

didn't they make a statement recently saying that you are allowed to stay for 180 days, extend for another 180 days, and then your visa will be cancelled?

Anonymous participant just be honest. tell them what you do and provide a portfolio of your work and/or ongoing contracts you have with clients etc

I gave them a copy of my booking confirmation for accommodation in Vietnam, and also a photocopy of the vietnam visa in my passport

@Kaia *****

yes, this seems to be the new system. But

@Sakura ****

just said she went to the one in HCMC without an appointment and they processed her application anyway

I was at the one in Hanoi yesterday and it seemed pretty quiet. Even when you could book an appointment all the spaces were pretty much open. so maybe if the evisa system isn't up and running when you arrive you can try and do it in person anyway

@Lance *****

i was in thailand before I flew to hanoi to get the visa sorted. So I just gave them a few of these slips they give you to show your insurance company. They list what the diagnosis is, the treatment plan, any medication etc

you should be okay with just the letter from Bangkok hospital showing an appointment and a treatment plan. But if you have some paperwork from doctors in your home country it can't hurt to give them some of that too

My tactic was to give them just a little bit, then if they asked for more I had a whole folder full of past appointment slips etc that I could have shown them

no problem. Best of luck!

it took a week total. Handed it in on Friday and got the approval email the Friday after
