5th May - I arrived to Hanoi
8th May - I applied for DTV for workation
13th May - status changed to pending approval
15th May - rejected (no reason given). I went to embassy and asked them personally,after she checked my document, she said - "Change an embassy". That was a bit ridiculous but I did what she said.
23rd May - I arrived to Vientiane (Laos)
24th May - I applied again
26th May - I was asked for an additional document which I provided but in better quality (passport bio page)
26th May after about 1 hour - status changed to pending approval
26th May after another 1 hour - I was invited for interview
5th June - Interview and visa approved.
Interview Question:
* What kind of plans do you have to spend time in Thailand?
* Show me account with your invoice payments
* Show me account where you have a balance over 500k
* Show me what do you do, examples of your work
Key tips:
* Dress well, be polite and elegant, very important thing in my opinion
* Take your laptop or print everything what you have provided
* Double check if your mobile apps are working to show your statements or bank balance
* Smile (yes,really), don't go there like you would go to jail, this helps in my opinion
I hope that will help other people.
