What steps did you take to get your visa approved at the Hanoi Embassy?

VISA APPROVED!

Hanoi Embassy

Applied on Wednesday

Sent additional documents on Thursday.

Approved the next Wednesday.

Info that might help others:

I included bank statements from 4 banks: Bangkok Bank, Wells Fargo, Kbank (joint account) Kbank (personal account). Totals for all the bank was over 1 million for 3 months.

The additional documents requested were pay stubs, business license of the company I will work for and the passport/ID of the owner.

I included the pay stubs from my old job in Thailand which were reflected on my Thai bank accounts. I also included the invoices of some of my contract work which were reflected on my Wells Fargo account. My new boss's passport was expired, so I included that as well as their drivers license.

For the business registration I included a copy of their LLC, EIN registration, tax registration and Treasury department registration. Maybe a bit of overkill, but I had access to all those, so I sent everything.

No issues mentioned about my Thai accounts. I didn't send them my old work permit, no pages from my passport, nor my tax information from years of working in Thailand. I did have those ready if needed. All in all it was a smooth and quick experience, other than the angst!

Thanks for all your help here!
