i don’t think agent have any control over the application. Rather they just know the best practices to ensure higher and quicker approval chances.

My agent advised on the best country for my situation, he also handled all my documents and submission. All i do is sent him what he required and pay for the application.

That said if you are still interested, i can refer to you.

Thank You for your helpful report 👍

Congratulations 👏👏👏

PRINT OUT THE EMAIL THAT HAS YOUR DTV VISA.

That's what you should do... print it out.

You may have to show PROOF of your DTV Visa to airline staff on check-in for your flight ✈️ to Thailand...even to the connecting airline staff. Or to the land border crossing entry Thai Immigration Officer.

Upon arrival into Thailand, show the DTV visa to the Thai Immigration Officer and look at the STAMP placed in your passport to be sure you are STAMPED in for 180 days.

Weird, I also applied for soft power, Muay Thai in Hanoi on October 29 and I haven't heard a thing. Also included the same things you did. It just says Processing Pending Approval (1)... Not sure what the (1) is about, as I only applied once. Did you have a ticket back to Thailand at an earlier date than me? Maybe thats why they prioritized your application? I showed them a return ticket to Thailand for November 10.
