I'm feeling quite dissapointed to share that my visa application has been rejected in Ho Chi Minh. 😭

I submitted my application on November 24th, and by November 27th, the status changed to "waiting for approval." No additional documents were requested during this time. However, last night, I received an email stating, "Your visa application has been rejected."

From the comments I can assume you were rejected for using a Thai bank account. If I were you I’d take the hit on the 10k fee and apply again using a foreign bank account as proof of savings 👍

yes, I think is that. I’m thinking, where do I try to re apply? I guess is not wise to do it again in Vietnam?😀

Anonymous participant Try Cambodia. Not heard much negative there. In last 3 days there have been rejections from Vietnam and asking for tax documents. Good luck.

Problem is no one knows for sure the reason for refusal. If you guess and reapply elsewhere you risk further disappointment (not to mention expense). If it was me I would, most respectfully of course, ask for clarification on the reason for refusal as it would provide most helpful guidance upon how to comply with their criteria in future.
