You can leave Vietnam if you've already submitted your application. Plenty of people have already done what you're asking. It's UNREASONABLE for you to be expected to remain in Vietnam when you don't know how long your application will take to process. Just leave, and then reenter Thailand when the DTV is approved.

No worries, I entered Thailand 3 weeks after the date I had stated in the application. Makes zero difference once the visa is issued.

Americans are in the top 5 nationals getting approved, according to the MFA.

@Rusty *****
people are not reporting on border bounce with DTV because it's TOO EASY! Literary the easiest way to reset the 180 day stamp.

A quick round trip to Malaysia or the Philippines is still my preferred way to get a fresh 180 day stamp. I HATE bureaucracy and paperwork.

@Mike *****
What about the ED visa? Didn't you say you got a DTV? Do you have both DTV and ED visas?
Winston ************
Yeah, not an option unless you pay those "agents". Agents always have your best interests in mind /s

I've not only printed mine, but I had it laminated as well. Now it's a tough and steady thing that will last for years.

Heard from where? You're just spewing nonsense, right?

OK, but I would still prefer to take a quick trip to Malaysia than to go to the Immigration Department 3 times because apparently my papers are not enough for them. To each their own. I'm not doing that stupid extension process.
