What should I do if I'm unable to provide 6 months of bank statements for my DTV application in Vietnam?

Hi, just trying to contribute based on my DTV adventure so far...  I applied for a soft power from Vietnam to HCMC and got a request for more documentation.  I can comply with everything except one.  They now want 6 months of bank statements.  I setup a separate account 3 1/2 months ago for the published 3-month requirement.  I'm from the USA and a regular bank account pays very little interest so I put cash elsewhere.  Like cash at a brokerage which the consulate doesn't accept hence the poor interest rate saving account setup. Essentially, the goal post got moved on me.  I have an appointment with a Thai immigration firm to get their input.  I may switch to a non-imigrant retirement O visa which I can qualify for, but thought a DTV would fit me better flexibility wise and I figured I'd easily qualify for as well.

Answer summary

The user is experiencing challenges in providing the required 6 months of bank statements for their Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) application from Vietnam due to having recently set up a new account. They express uncertainty about the requirement and consider transitioning to a Non-Immigrant Retirement O visa instead. Comments from the community suggest looking for historical posts regarding HCMC's requirements and potentially using earlier bank account information to satisfy the documentation criteria.

WOW, Thai Immigration is active in HCMC?

Never to old to learn new things.

I suppose you had another bank account prior to this, why don’t you just submit that data as well and explain why you froze it or opened new ones?

If you look back at old posts, you will see that HCMC has often asked for 6 months. So the goal post really didn’t get moved, you just didn’t realize that they might ask for this
