Hey everyone,

Just got approved in Manila. Took 8 business days (total of 2 weeks because 2 weekdays were a thai holiday (thurs, fri last week). 

Applied under Soft Power Muay Thai (9 months of classes). 

Sent in all the necessary documents. 

They asked for 2 additional documents:

1. The actual receipt of payment of Muay Thai classes

2. My business registration of my LLC 

Status went into pending approval yesterday, approved today.

The application process is very straightforward: 

1. Look on the embassy website for all the documents they require.

2. Provide them in visa application

3. Monitor your visa application in the event that you are asked for additional documents

4. Provide additional documents

5. Wait for approval

6. Enjoy Thailand :)

It's all spelled out on the embassy website.

Vietnam has increased its' approval criteria. Some embassies do ask for business registration and employment info for SP applicants.
