Got rejected in hanoi Soft Power. All documents were fine. Money was in account.
Summary so far
The individual experienced a rejection for their Soft Power DTV visa application in Hanoi despite having valid documents and sufficient funds in their bank account. Various comments suggest potential reasons for the rejection, such as changes in government policies, the specific soft power activity applied for, and concerns about the quota for DTV visas in Hanoi. Several commenters shared their personal experiences and offered advice, indicating that others have also faced similar issues and that applying in other locations, like Ho Chi Minh City, may be easier.

I've said it before, Hanoi seems to be the place where soft power DTV applications go to die these days.

AuthenticOstrich8866 how long was the bt500,000 equivalent in your personal bank account? If the full amount was in your account for less than 3 months, that is why it was rejected. That is the most common reason for rejection in Vietnam.

Clearly something has changed regarding DTV with the new government and new prime Minister in place.

If all documents were fine, and the money was in your account, why was your application rejected?

@Pa**
possibly Hanoi has a quota, and there is a limit to how many DTVs they are willing to issue. There have been other accounts of strong applications with no obvious justification for rejection, but they were rejected. Not so much with other consulates, rejections happen elsewhere but they are usually explainable: money not seasoned long enough, wrong type of account, soft power activity not long enough, etc.
