How can I apply for a DTV visa in Hanoi for Muay Thai training?

DTV Soft Power - Approved in Hanoi

Timeline (6 working days)

* 3/11: Application submitted and payment completed

* 4/11: Status changed to *Pending Approval*

* 10/11: VISA approved, no additional documents requested

Documents submitted:

* Passport copy (first page only)

* Muay Thai-related documents

* 6 months of bank statements + Finance Certificate from my French bank

* Flight and hotel bookings for Vietnam

* Passport entry stamp + photo of myself holding my passport and hotel keys

Note:

My passport was issued by the French Embassy in Bangkok, and for the “Place of Issue,” I entered it exactly as written on the passport (letter by letter).

Hope this helps some of you applying too 😊
