I just got my DTV visa!

I applied in Hanoi, Vietnam, through a 3-month Muay Thai course, and it was approved on the third business day after I resubmitted. I submitted it on Friday morning and got the approval email on Tuesday afternoon. No additional documents were requested during the process.

The documents I provided were:

 • Passport bio page

 • Recent photo

 • A month bank statements with a balance of over 500,000 THB starting 10 days ago

 • Proof of stay in Vietnam(entry stamp and hotel confirmation in Hanoi)

 • Documents from the school (invitation letter, payment receipt, business license, ID of the legal representative and photos of the school’s environment)

I received a lot of help here, so a big thank you to everyone! 🥰

Thanks for sharing! While applying, was there an option to add address instead of hotel booking confirmation? As I’ll be staying with family in Vietnam and not hotel

@Anna ******

i think the hotel booking confirmation is not important. The most important thing is your Vietnam entry stamp

I’m sorry Do you know the reason for rejection?

Kersh *****

@Arya ****

They said not enough job detail, although I sent them 3 company contracts detailing what I do, and an extremely detailed CV with goes back many years, supplied seamans book with vessel stamps everything, then the other reason not enough proof of remote work, I wasn't applying as a remote worker I was applying as a freelance Workation status, also only asked me 2 times for further documentation the status bar was always on processing apart from the time they asked when it changed to request more documents.

If they see anything they don't understand they won't ask questions it's just an instant Rejection as they are too proud to admit they don't understand it's not right and very unprofessional.

Watch out because I applied as a freelance worker, as I work on a freelance basis around the globe, I sent everything they asked including an explanation of the nature of my work, plus invitation letters from major companies and a contract from this year that stated I was contracting as a freelance inspection Engineer - they asked only 2 times for extra documents, and my status was Processing - Then I got a rejection E-mail at midnight 😓 I now realize I should of done it through the Soft power route
