ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi everyone 👋 Planning to apply for DTV Soft Power (Muay Thai) via Hanoi and looking for quick confirmations from approved applicants. The muay thai school has history of successful applications in hanoi. I'm Italian. On my passport there is 1 entry this year, other 3 entries last year.

Questions:

* 💰 Bank: Is 500,000 THB closing balance + Movement of 6 month enough, or do they want a 6-month average? Funds are split across 2 bank accounts: OK or risky?

* ✈️ Flight: Is a flight out of Vietnam into Thailand required?

* 🏨 Hotel: How many nights in Vietnam did you book for the application?

* 📄Any additional documents commonly requested for Muay Thai (6-month course) ?

* How long did approval take for you in Hanoi?

Any real experiences appreciated 🙏

Thanks!

Pro Muay Thai Hua Hin, 7 days to get the thumbs up "approved" My suggestion if you dont mind paying a little extra go through Siam Legal in Bangkok they handled everything for me even the cover letter !!!

Hanoi will occasionally ask the gym to fire of a confirmation email to establish the course documentation are real. Very easy, no problem for the gym to do it. Ho chi minh do it more often than Hanoi though.
