ORIGINAL POSTER

Approval from the Hanoi embassy in less than 24 hours! 

I applied for DTV via the Muay Thai route on Wednesday, while technically still in Thailand (at the airport, after immigration with an exit stamp in my passport). I provided: 

* statements (SG bank account, 1 month)

* passport copy

* conformation letter from Muay Thai gym

* hotel booking in Ha Noi 

By the time I landed, I received additional document requirements: 

* a new copy of bank statements (poor quality the first round)

* passport copy of confirmation letter signatory

* entry stamp to Vietnam 

* business registration of Muay Thai gym

I provided the docs immediately. The following morning (Thursday) I received an additional email requesting: 

* work permit of the person who signed the confirmation letter (non-Thai individual).

5 hours later I received an approval email. Total time - 22 hours. Total cost - 33k THB (gym package), 10k THB (visa cost), costs related to travelling to Vietnam.

sorry, I'm confused about the process of applying Evisa DTV in Hanoi. If I have all the documents they need, I just apply DTV Evisa online first in Taiwan, and fly to Hanoi and wait for DTV approved, download the DTV and enter Thailand? or I have to enter Hanoi first, and then apply DTV Evisa online , wait for approved, and then enter Thailand?

Thank you very much for answer.

I have to arrive Honoi first, and apply Evisa online? Can not stay Taiwan apply Evisa online. Am I right?

Yes, arrive Hanoi then apply. Legally, not meant to do it in Taiwan, you need to show proof of staying in Vietnam like the passport entry stamp.

Sounds like Vietnam (and Cambodia) have really gotten their act together with the e-visa system in the short time they've been on it so far. Seems that the e-visa system is proving to be faster and more efficient than the old in person application system was.
