What should I do after being denied a Thai visa application in Hanoi?

They are not randomly rejecting or cancelling applications due to an increase in applications that is just ludicrous

I’m guessing something was wrong with your application and you’ll probably not find out what it was

Hanoi easiest place to get dtv, got mine in 4 days

Are you applying from your home country ? If not. Why not ? That in it self looks dodgy

Might be denying for nationality such as American

Was your 500k something you put into an account specifically to get the visa? Was it an active account or an account that has 501,000 and no other activity? I own a Muay Thai gym (tiger eye) and I've got a lot of experience since the DTV was introduced and I am convinced that the number one factor by a long shot is the financial proof. And I think (this is all speculation btw but I think speculation that has been earned after seeing a lot of applicants) that simply meeting the minimum standard of financial proof is often not enough. Maybe sometimes it is, but you may get an embassy official wanting to be more strict in their assessment than others.

Of course that's not the only factor but I think it's the biggest. There are other factors such as a misspelling or other error in the application, etc but I think financial proof is by far the most important.

6 months + visa for cooking 🤣 just grab the pan, throw the pasta and basta you know how to cook.

Nice !

6 month course doesn't need a 5 year visa. Maybe they figured that out?

Soft options looking more unlikely to be approved, also 3-6 months, more likely to get a MEV instead. Check your application (screen shot every page) before submitting so you can cross reference for any obvious errors. What is your nationality?

Did they ask u for more info first? They just asked me..

Check the school is Ok or Not. If you have strong School and money in the bank can not cancel. Same if you have strong remote job.

A lot of people have been applying at Hanoi, they might have exceeded their approval quota

They don't just click deny because they have many applications that would be bs.

Need the reason

Happened to me in November! I got rejected in Hanoi after waiting 2 weeks, I was not asked for any additional documents or anything. Submitted the same application in Paris and got approved. It is Soft Power 6 months cooking course with Arun Thaï Cooking School. But I heard from the school that for cooking class they recommend to take a longer engagement 6+months now to maximise your chances. Good luck!

Congrats

Rejected or cancelled ?? Can you please explain the words used in the answer you got ?

Who did the paperwork ? How good was the paperwork ? Was the application easy and understandable to read? did you apply yourself or with a agent?

Are you come from CIS countries?

Had previously ED VISA ?

Find the reason for denial - fix it and re-submit. It could be something as simple as not using the full name as appears on passport - is the school you planning to attend have DTV approval ?? Check with the schools ones who are approved for DTV usualy will have staff at the school to assist you with the application process - meaning filling out forms for you send them to you and you file at local embassy

Sooner or later these cooking and Muay Thai visa doors are going to get closed, or the fees will get ramped up.

Hi…. I’m an anonymous account never trust a word I’m saying. Most of the time when I post it’s negative. I’m really tryin to confuse ppl

I would recommend going to the embassy in Hanoi and asking them. That’s what I did and it really helped. I then re applied and was approved
