What are the requirements for obtaining a SETV in Hanoi?

Jul 4, 2018

Just a brief one about getting an SETV in Hanoi this week:

Went on Monday at about 11am (They close for taking in apps at 12pm)

Requirements asked for -

*40USD per person in USD only...this was a mission because banks DO NOT change from a currency Dong/Baht TO USD (only change FROM USD). Have your money in advance!!

*Proof of funds/bank statement

*Print out of flight INTO Thailand

*Print out of flight OUT of Thailand

*1 x passport photo per person

Lady was very kind and helped with queries on form and she even accepted our forms MINUS the fee and photos, whilst we ran around nearby to get them (returned at 2.30pm with money and pics)

Told to return next day, yesterday, to collect.

Bish, bash, bosh. Piece of cake.

Very happy with them and happy to experience Hanoi for the first time :-)

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user successfully obtained a Single Entry Tourist Visa (SETV) in Hanoi, detailing the application process and requirements, including the necessity of having 40 USD in cash, proof of funds, and printouts of arrival and departure flights. They received assistance from the staff and were able to complete their application without their photos initially, which they later provided. The passport was ready for pickup the following day.

It's regarding accomodation recommendations so don't think a new topic is appropriate ;)

Thanks for the update! What kind of "bank statement" did you provide? I mean, can it just be a print from a web bank? Or is it verified from the bank?
