Can I add 500,000 Baht to my American bank account shortly before applying for a DTV visa in Hanoi?

@Davion *****

attaching a third person with similar background that was approved in the same timeframe as of me and my wife in June. THERE IS AN ABSOLUTE NEED AT HANOI FOR THE LAST 6 PAYSTUBS WHEN TAKING THE BUSINESS OWNER/STAYCATION/DIGITAL NOMAD ROUTES. This you wont find in the formal requirements list at the website when you submit the application but it will be required at some point. When you apply as a business owner they are looking for STRUCTURE NOT JUST HAVING 500k in a savings account. They want to see how the money flows from your SO CALL BUSINESS INTO YOUR PERSONAL BANK ACCOUNT. The only way to this again is with the paystubs. The info of requirements at the site is pretty limited/lenient and maybe this was the intent when they first thought of this visa, but this is not current as of June in Hanoi due to fraud/abuse. 1st you have a company-the company pays you in a formal way( paystubs) IF YOU JUST PROVIDE WHAT THEY ASK AT THE EMBASSY WEBSITE 100 % they will require more documents again if you apply at Hanoi. You mentioned LA for that i only know it will take longer time at those outstations outside of asia have far less manpower than Hanoi/ Jakarta have to process applications. You should tell your friends to upload their timelines of their applications WITH WHAT WAS PROVIDED…..JUST THE SAME WAY I DID MINE AND OTHERS DO HERE TO JUSTIFY YOUR CLAIMS WHERE PEOPLE APPLY WITH LIMITED PAPERWORK BUT THEY GET THEIR VISAS. Recent rejections at Hanoi suggest more documents are indeed required to satisfy the financial requirement . As a matter of fact i have not seen a single recent approval that just provided what they asked at the site lately. Hope this helps 🙏

I’m in agreement with you as well bro 👊🏼

could be man but based on the recent trend they really go deep into the financials at the adjudication stage. During document check yes it will not raise a concern but with the dudes that have the final approval they dont seem to be lenient as before in Hanoi. Maybe it was the fraud-abuse that happened there before but HANOI is only a good place to apply with the proper documents otherwise i would not apply there 🙏

the 6 month trend AT HANOI is not just relevant to your citizenship/nationality. Maybe that could affect you in a way but this is not final. Hanoi wants to see 6 months of bank statements and continous flow of money AS OF JUNE OF THIS YEAR. Whatever happened before abuse fraud etc is not currently tolerated as i write this post. I notice that a lot of the people that got rejected in the past weeks here had comments from you telling them this was not required at hanoi( SEASON MONEY) . I suggest you to be more careful in your suggestions as people come here for help and telling them what has worked in the past ( 3 months ago) or who was lucky does not help them. You make comments on the majority of the posts on this forum so you know exactly what is needed at each post SPECIALLY HANOI WHICH IS QUITE POPULAR. There are no benefits for anyone in this group with other people getting rejected 🙏
