Hi 👋🏼

The embassy in Hanoi told me that 500,000 baht for a month was enough for a family of 4 but just wanted to check if anyone had done it and if they accepted it with no issues? Thanks!

What do you think they're looking for when they ask for multiple statements?

I got rejected, i dont know why so just let me know if it works for you.

They didn’t tell me the reason why.

your application was cancelled, not rejected. A cancellation usually means improperly entered passport data.

I know that sometimes there are differences between what agents will tell you so I'd like to have experiences from people who actually applied
