Update :

Came back today (6 Apr) to bangkok. The immigration officer saw my reentry permit (I had ED before) and she asked if I want to use the DTV instead, I said yes and got the stamp. πŸ™

Hii

I just received my DTV (soft power Muay Thai) from Hanoi in 3 business days.

30/03 : Submitted application :

- passport

- picture (taken by a professional 4.5x3.5)

- bank statements for February (two accounts with more than 500K in the main one, and around 300k in the second one) + letter explaining that I can use both accounts

- papers from the gym

- vietnam entry stamp

- hotel reservation

01/04 : Pending Approval

02/04 : Approved

This group helped me a lot so I want to share my experience.

Thank you and good luck to everyone..

Congrats! Thanks for sharing your experience. I plan to apply in Hanoi soft power 1 month bank statement 17k.USD I wonder if you did not need more than 1 month bank statement due to your large balances over half a million dollars if im interpreting your currency correctly and not that they only require 1 month statement over 500,000 baht?

Participant anonyme 848 you're right I forgot the currency it's 500K in bahts, even though I wish it could be in dollars πŸ˜† !! So basically around 23k USD (with both accounts)..
