ORIGINAL POSTER

Hanoi DTV visa (soft power with Arun Thai Cooking School) – approved.

No additional document requests. The school prepared all the documents within 1 day. The whole visa process took 6 working days in total.

I submitted my application late in the evening on August 8. On August 11, the status changed to pending approval, and on August 19 the visa was approved.

Documents provided:

 • Bank statements showing more than 500,000 THB on my accounts.

 • Bank account activity for the last 3 months.

 • Currency exchange rate of my local currency to Thai Baht.

 • Photo ID from my home country linked to the bank account.

 • All documents submitted by the school (I only checked the spelling of my personal details).

 • Proof of stay in Hanoi: Vietnamese visa, entry stamp, hotel booking, and a payment receipt from the hotel made with my card.

Big thanks to everyone in this group – your advice really helped me understand the process! 🙏
