ORIGINAL POSTER
I also applied in Hanoi.

I submitted my application at 4 p.m. on Monday, March 3rd, and it was approved at 7 p.m. on Sunday, March 9th.

The referenced post mentions that his documents and mine are almost identical—even the submission date. His description is accurate. However, I only submitted a bank certificate showing a balance of over 500,000 baht for the past three months.

If you think your documents might not be sufficient, even if you have a job, I recommend registering for Muay Thai. That’s why I signed up for a six-month course at Chiang Mai Muay Thai Fever.
