ORIGINAL POSTER
Hi guys,

Wanted to share positive story. APPROVED in Hanoi with Soft Power route, and Wild Cat Muay Thai Gym in Chiang Mai. @wildcatmuaythai.

I applied on Monday 31st of April and received e-mail one week later at 3pm on 7th of April, which I did not expect as it is day off in Thailand.

No request for another documents, pending document check after one day and then another days waiting in patience.

I write this few days later as I got quite sick (Acute bronchitis with very bad cough) and I am still recovering slowly.

Please mind Hanoi is fun, but pm 2.5 pollution was even 250 when I was there. It had massive impact on my health.

I would love to thank Meaw from the gym as she helped us with gym documents and was very professional, also I'd like to thank all members of group, as your posts and answers helped me a lot.

STATEMENT was 3 months full statement, above 14k Euro for 3 weeks before applying.

I also added photo of me in Hanoi, in front of Hotel and tickets and so on to the location.

No questions asked on entry.

Thank you Thai Royal Embassy in Hanoi <3

Congrats to you and get well soon!

Did you apply on March 31? I applied on March 28th and they got back to me twice for more documents. Now Iā€™m still waiting for the result. I also applied through soft power but from HCM

Truly, natural remedies do work. If they didn't, we wouldn't have used them for thousands of years. And, pharmaceutical companies wouldn't be studying plants, taking extracts of them, and patenting them as drugs.this is not a claim or lies I was totally cured from hashimotos and neuropathy by herbalist Alfred His remedy is surely the best. I suggest you try him out if you are having any health challenges and also get cured, to give him a try

Congratulations on the approved DTV.

May I ask what date the wild Cat Muay Thai put in the letter?

Was it the day you applied or when you will be starting the training?
