ORIGINAL POSTER
Just curiosity about procedures at Ho Chi Minh embassy

I have been asked for extra documents:

- Proof of being in vietnam, which i submitted already with the application, and i did add my flight and accommodation booking and payment

- email confirmation sent to the embassy from the muay thai school. (A 10 page document with all references was already submitted with the application)

- photos of all pages of my passport

Questions:

Is there any soecific reason about these requests of submission?

Does the embassy usually requests extra documents twice?

Thanks

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is inquiring about the reasons behind the Ho Chi Minh embassy's requests for additional documentation during their visa application process. They have already submitted several documents but have been asked for more proof, including verification from their Muay Thai school and additional passport details. Community comments suggest that these requests may be for verification purposes and emphasize the importance of providing accurate and complete documentation to avoid application denial.

It would appear that they want the Muay Thai documents sent directly from the gym, not from you. I guess this is for verification purposes.

They want to see all pages of your passport to confirm you have remained in the country throughout your application being processed.

As for the location they want to check you staying in Vietnam during the application process.

If they ask, it might be that first documents did not meet the requirements.

Make sure that all is in order and sent again, be hopefull it is accepted and you got the DTV or an interview.

Alternative is tell them you did send once and not sent again, most likely outcome is denied application.
