Hi

I’m on dtv and have to do my first 90 day report soon.

What other docs do I need besides tm30?

It’s my first one so I have to do it in person …

(UPDATE: All went well and thanks for the help!! 😀) Good day all! I am applying for an extension tomorrow and am wondering what forms I need to take with me? I have my TM7, a copy of my passport, my TM30 and my money to pay. Am I missing anything and can I go to any immigration office or just the one closest to where I stay? Thanks in advance. 🙂

Currently in Vietnam/ HCMC applying DTV medical.

Some notes:

-Bank statement over the last 6 months, with the final balance of 500k THB (can be transferred e.g. in the last week)

I also took a print screen of the final balance on the day I applied (sometimes the statement shows the previous date not current date, the day of applying)

-A medical certificate with condition, proof of following appointment and treatment plan for the coming 6 months. All official with paper of health center/ doctor, stamp and signature.

Showing proof of previous appointment(s) is not being asked, but I think it is a plus if you do.

At first the Embassy said "please provide appointment letter with hospital and a letter from them stating your condition for the hospital additionally, if you have any receipt/ any document proven your related project it is recommended to attach with main document."

However during the process I am being asked to show an extra document of 6 months treatment plan. Even though it was indicated in the medical certificate that I need a check-up every x months for my condition.

-I was also being asked to show ALL pages of the passport, even the blank ones. Maybe because my passport is totally new.

-Proof of location: entry stamp Vietnam, booked hotel in Vietnam, ticket proof to Vietnam/ boarding pass. I took a photo of the accommodation's invoice, entry stamp, and boarding pass.

My process so far. I thought I had done everything perfectly, so the extra "homework" surprised me a bit.

Hi guys , I need advice please , I need to do a 30 day extension, thing is I haven't a clue what I need to take with me or how soon can I apply at jomtien immigration. Some say use an agent . Please your advice would be appreciated.

Hi! Question regarding passport requirements.

I know it says your passport needs to be valid for 6 months when applying, but does anyone know if you need a certain number of pages?

I only have 5 or 6 pages left and I’m worried if the visa plus all the extension - leaving and coming back stamps - will be too many stamps.

Obviously can’t have the visa in one passport and then get a new passport at a later date to continue the stamps…

Any ideas?

Tutorial.

Before applying, check the web for ppl who successfully applied from the exact same situation as yours. often they share files they provided. use them.

the application site is tricky. you can't change it, you can't trick it.

so before you finally submit, you check each and every letter of your data.

the passport scan function is the direct way to being rejected. scan, and then check and mostly edit each field, so they match your passport.

deliver what they ask for. not more, not less.

have more money on your account than the equivalent of 500k baht. exchange rates change, and the process can last longer.

you can't appeal, you can't "talk to somebody". so be diligent, don't mess around. each pdf can only be one file. if you have more pages, ask google how to connect them.

ignore facebook groups. the amount of false and guessed info is tremendous.

finally: different nationalities have different levels of requirements. different countries may ask for different documents. so think twice where you want to apply.

In Evisa website, Da Nang, Vietnam falls under Ho Chi Minh embassy. But, since Hanoi embassy seems faster, can I apply at Hanoi office even if I'm in Da Nang?

Also, did you scans your passports or take photos?

I want to thank everyone for sharing their experiences on here. However if possible if you could include the embassy, papers required and passport or place of residence it would really help a lot of people figure this out as I see a wide variety of requirements for the very same visa at different embassies.

Hey. Got a few questions about the DTV Visa I'd love to get some help with. I'm applying in Taipei.

1. If you already live in Thailand, can you write your Thai address as your permanent address on the DTV application form?

2. About the bank balance showing 500K+ THB, does it have to be from the day of application or can it be from 1 or 2 days prior to application?

3. Should the passport copies be in color or black and white? I once had an immigration officer not accepting my application because the copies were in color.

Thank you.

Hi, do you think I would have a problem applying for a DTV with a new/unstamped passport? I have always traveled within Europe, so my priority was not owning a passport. For the other things, I shouldn't have any concerns. I'm applying from Italy.

Thank you for your help ✌️
