Hi everyone :)

I will apply this weekend for DTV Soft Act. I am in Thailand right now. Which embassy in SEA is the best and fastest right now? I am thinking of Vietnam, better Hanoi or HCMC ? Or better another country?

Thanks to every help here 😊

Hi everyone,

I was planning to go to Ho Chi Minh City to apply in person at the Thai embassy for the DTV visa.

However I found some informations saying that only online applications are available now.

So my question is: Is it still possible to apply in-person at the thai embassy or, do I need to apply online?

Thanks

Hi everyone, apologies if this has been answered before, I have used the search but didnt find the info I was looking for.

DTV in Hanoi or HCM

-do you recommend to apply in Hanoi or HCM?

-required funds: I read that bank statements for 6 months must be submitted but also heard from people transferring the required 500.00THB just before. Can someone shed light on this, please? How much money does have to be in the account and for how long? Is it okay if its not in just one account?

-translation of documents: I understand that any documents submitted must be translated into English. Do they need to be notarised or is a regular translation sufficient (for my freelance contracts and invoices, for example).

Thank you so much!

Hello ☺️

I have landed in Ho Chi Minh but from the posts I've read I feel like I want to try apply in Hanoi instead.

If I now fly to Hanoi internally from Ho Chi Minh can I apply there?

Also, if I get rejected in Ho Chi Minh does this mean I am not allowed to leave Vietnam, and fly back into Hanoi and try again at a later date there?

Thank you

Hello,

i've seen mixed messages on where is better to apply from, Ho Chi Minh City or Hanoi?

Can anyone give input on this?

Also, if you enter Vietnam via Ho Chi Minh could you still apply at the Hanoi embassy given it is all done and processed online? Or would you have to have arrived via the Hanoi entry port to apply there?

Thank you so much

Hi all, I saw some past messages around it but can't find them anymore so sorry for asking what has already been asked.

I'm going to start a new job (remote) and would to apply to workation DVT. I know some embassies rejected such applications because it's a new employment relationship and they want to show 6 months of payslip from the same employer.

This is not a money issue (I have 6 months payslips from my previous employer since I'm jumping from a contract to another, and have the required balance), but just the fact that this is a new contact.

Do you know the position of HCM/Hanoi/PP/Ventiane on this topic? did anybody got a DVT approved in the region with a brand new employment contract?

Thanks

Hi planning to apply from Vietnam not sure which city Hanoi , da nang or Ho Chi Minh whichi ? Thanks for your advice

Guys I am reading the requirements for HCM [members only], and I have a few doubts.

2.2. Photograph taken within the last six months

What kind of photo, same than the photo for the passport? same size?

2.3. Document indicating current location

This is the hotel booking in HCM, for example?

2.4 Document stating purpose of visit:

Is there any template to have a look?

3) in case there is no employment, professional portfolio showcasing digital nomad, remote worker, foreign talent or freelancer status.

Should my portfolio showcase my entire career, like a resume, or focus only on my work from 2024?

Should my portfolio showcase my entire career, like a resume, or focus only on my work from 2024? I'm asking because, in 2023, I worked as an employee, and this is my first year as a freelancer.

Thanks

Hanoi or HCMC?

Which one is quicker and more convenient to apply DTV?

Any recommendation please’🥹

Applying in Ho Chi Minh City now - is a tax return an essential requirement if you are a remote worker? Or payslips and a letter of confirmation of employment enough.

The admin person at my company are on holiday for a few weeks and I can't find my tax return

Any help would be appreciated
