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.

Hello. I have just applied for the DTV and when I was asked for current location proof (I apply from my homecountry) I put bills, bank statement with adress and national id. Will it be enough?

What is possible to apply for my kids as a proof of location? They haven't any id and the adress isn't written in the passport...

Thank you for your help🙏

I am currently in Bali. When I arrived here, I used an automatic gate at the airport immigration, therefore, my passport was not stamped. I want to apply for an e-visa for Thailand, what document do I need to submit for proof of location? Is a hotel reservation sufficient? Thanks

Americans can apply online for a DTV while in America, but my question is, how would they know if you weren't in America at the time of applying?

Has anyone been in this situation and had no issues?

AND

For Thai soft-power reasons does anyone have any additional info for what's required... like how many medical procedures must I have planned and over what period of time to be able to use the recommendation letter?

Thanks!

I am planning to apply DTV visa in Vietnam.

Is TM 30 only is okay for proof of location in thailand as i didn’t get any rental contract from my house owner.

They gave just a payment receipt .

Sharing my DTV experience.

Applied from Ho Chi Min, Vietnam. Applied on Thursday, got accepted today (Monday).

- Provided my September (only) bank statement, with balance shown of course.

- A friend of mine has been asked to provide, as a proof of location, his passport stamp proving he was in Vietnam as well as a hotel OR flight booking. So I did submit my stamp and hotel booking.

- As I’m a freelancer, I provided for my proof of work a PDF containing links to and screenshot of my LinkedIn, GitHub and portfolio.

Everything was done online. Haven’t been to the embassy.

Applied for evisa from Vietnam (HCMC) and it got approved last night. I applied last friday evening the 11th of october. On tuesday they requested additional docs. And this morning i woke up to see that the visa got approved last night.

Since I applied on friday night, and monday was a national holiday, it only took 2 working days to get my visa approved. It could have been just 1 working day, if I delivered the right documents the first time.

I applied as a remote worker as I have my own digital marketing business, so what I did was i just made a little document explaining what I do, who i work with, what my goals are in thailand, etc.

Then I just added a couple links to my main website and a link to some client case studies, but the problem was that my site is in Dutch, as i serve Dutch and Belgium clients.

So they requested additional information with the remark that everything should be in English or Thai. After that, I spent an hour or 2 to translate some key pages on my website to English. I also added a link to my Google My Business profile.

After this adjustment the visa application got approved.

For proof of location i uploaded another bank statement where I highlighted a recent ATM transaction in Da Nang.
