Hà Nội embassy waiving the 3 month seasoning rule.

Today, I called the Thai embassy in Hà Nội asking if they would consider my DTV Workcation application if my 500k THB was sent from my UK Ltd company to my personal account within less than 3 months.

Other info I gave the operator:

- I am a sole director and employee, the company is a one man operation

- I had transferred the funds to my personal account < 24 hours ago

The woman calmly informed me that as long as I can prove I am the owner of the company and the funds have been transferred from the company, it will be accepted at Hà Nội (if no other issues found).

I was also able to confirm that I can apply to Hà Nội from anywhere in Vietnam, just providing the entry stamp in my passport.

Has anyone's experience agreed or conflicted with this information? Specifically I'd like to hear from sole company directors, without employees who transferred the money to their account shortly before applying.

Many thanks all.
Answer summary
A user inquired about the seasoning requirement for the DTV Workcation visa at the Thai embassy in Hà Nội. They were informed by an embassy operator that as long as they could prove ownership of their UK Ltd company and that the 500k THB was transferred from the company to their personal account (even if less than 3 months ago), their application would be accepted. The user also confirmed they could apply from anywhere in Vietnam with the necessary entry stamp. They seek feedback from others, particularly sole company directors in similar situations.

If I recall one or both of the Vietnam Thai embassies had a very limited seasoning requirement of about 10 days for the first year or so of the DTV.

Did you ask who you were speaking with to ensure they were someone who knew what they were talking about?
