hello! looking for information from folks that have recently applied as a remote worker in Hanoi. both my partner and myself want to apply (canadian & american).
we have both had language ED visas in the past, and have spent many months over the years in Thailand. I see a lot of info in this chat about extra documents requested, i’ll list here what i’m seeing as necessary. please add your experience and any other documentation you needed!
also, i see people recommending folks to check the specific embassy’s requirements for documentation, but i’m not finding that information on Hanoi’s website outside of the basic requirements.
documents to provide:
- cover letter explaining past and present work and what i’ve been doing in thailand
- work contracts (freelancer from september, employed from jan 1st)
- CV
- examples of my work
- record of employment
- my employer’s company incorporation/registration as a 501c3
- letter from employer about me working remotely
- bank statements showing 500k from how many months? showing incoming payments from my employer. i also was a freelancer being paid in crypto before, should i include that?
- other basic docs like passport scan, passport photo, vietnam entry stamp, vietnam hotel booking
thanks in advance for any support!
