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.

Did you pay before or after knowing your DTV was approved? I would prefer not to lose that money.

Also, how were you able to add two documents for the Muay Thai course? It only allows me to upload one file per document requested.

Thank you!

You pay immediately at the point of application, there's no option to pay later.

It's a bit painful but there are applications that allow you to put multiple jpg-s to one page. For additional document submission, there were new upload fields added to the system - email they sent me referred to those fields. I guess these are customised as per each application (if / when additional paper is needed).

Tbh the instructions were extremely clear. I spent the most time on getting multiple jpg-s to one file. Ended up using Canva.

So you paid, then they emailed you to ask you to submit other additional documents, right?

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.
