ORIGINAL POSTER

Edit: People who have real documents but want to try by themselves. Please read this. I went to embassy and learnt 500k should be in account for 3 months or should be stable. Not ok with ending balance 500k even though it is your real money.

I have just got rejected mail in Hanoi. I believe I attached every documents. I have sent the clarification email and am waiting for the reply.

1. Myanmar Nationality

2. Australia based company 

3. Submitted company registration, employment contract, remote permission, Company profile, resume, portfolio link, cover letter indicating that I am not working for Thailand company, payslips 3 months, Wise transfer email, Company website.

4. Vietnam Entry Stamp, Hotel booking

5. Bank statement 6 months with Ending balance 500k

My question is should I resubmit in Hanoi or better apply in HCMC?

TLDR : Answer Summary

A Myanmar national received a visa rejection in Hanoi despite submitting comprehensive documentation, including proof of remote employment with an Australian company and a bank statement showing 500k THB. Users suggested verifying the completeness and correctness of documents, ensuring employer letters specifically state permission to work remotely from Thailand, and considering a resubmission in Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) instead of Hanoi, which has a higher rate of rejections for certain nationalities.

Sadly, I think it has little to do with the 500k not being seasoned for 3 months, but more because of your nationality.

Your nationality could be the problem here.

Dear Anonymous,

The most common cause of rejection I see mentioned is incorrect information with your passport.

The system has problems with dates (birthdate and passport validity dates) and records them incorrectly. You need to check and correct the dates.

Also, the system has a lot of trouble with names. It wants family name and first name. It has trouble with middle names. It has trouble with hyphenated names.

The passport data page names must match what you are entering.

Many people from Myanmar have 4 names, so look really carefully at this.

Did the system reject you based on these issues?

Were you asked for more information regarding your bank account or your employment?

Good luck with your next application.

I believe the 500k needs to be in the accounts for at least 3 months and I also am curious if they are looking at salary amounts. They may be rejecting on monthly salary amounts. I've noticed people that are around the $2,500 a month mark have been getting rejected. I have no idea if it's related but it would be interesting to see how many rejections are in that range for monthly income.
