So, did they re request the business registration you posted about yesterday, or was the document you mistakenly supplied accepted?

No re-request for any documentation. I did send them this via email though, however, I'm unsure if they even looked at the email. When I resent the business reg number (business registration number is also on my contract) which I initially had sent, this went straight into pending approval so I don't even know if emailing the business reg. certificate made any difference to be honest.

They asked you for a flight ticket to approve your application ?

Thank you Niko! Nah, I just input my intended flight number for heading back. I emailed them to follow up today and within 20 mins got an auto approved email, it was the same Monday, I emailed for an update 30 mins later got a request for extra docs, 3 business days in total, so I'd recommend reaching out if in doubt! Also, feel free if you have any questions let me know, it's stressful waiting around 😃

They asked you for any additional documents as an accommodation ?

@Niko ***
nope, business registration certificate which I didn’t add, as the company house reg number was on my contract, however, I still didn’t send it when they asked (my mistake) but I emailed afterward (not sure if they even saw this)

It's the Thai Embassy in Hanoi email address - I'm not sure if they read it, maybe it's coincidental, if you go to the Hanoi Thai Embassy, there's an email on there 🙂

Cheers mate, I'm sure you'll get the same outcome. Did you apply in HCMC? Let me know if you have any Q's, but I'm sure you'll be fine
