Thai Embassy in Hanoi is very bad now. Submit at Monday. Today morning reject.

Money on USA bank.

Workcation. Never try submit before. Very good travel history.

Seems they not like my face.

Upd.

Submit Wednesday in Manila.

Next day got request for additional documents.

Friday got request for interview at Tuesday

On interview.

Consular look my documentas. I show my current project on laptop. Also check my bank account.

No important questions, but only ask me, why I got reject in Vietnam. Answer - no idea.

Today morning visa comes to my mail.

Haters - loves you.

If your application was as thorough as your post here then you'll be denied in Manila soon enough also

Did your application was rejected or canceled? If the later, it means there was some spelling mistake, such as wrong middle name or wrong passport number or DOB, etc., which happens often. It it said "rejected", then it's that they deemed you didn't meet the visa criteria.

Been reading on this forum that several people have been rejected in Vietnam. That’s disconcerting.

Anyone have constructive comments that might be helpful , rather than hateful or pathetic attempts at humor ?

They don’t like your face or wrong application? Did they told you that? Looking at your post i can assume (which i might be wrong) your application were filed incorrectly.

Did Hanoi state their reason for rejection? If not, you could try asking them. It’s vital to know otherwise you could be rejected for that same reason elsewhere.

rly? I wrote them letter. It's casual answer. Depends on consular. By how reject be so quick? It's mean they absolutely not look at documents. I'm answer in request. In 20 minutes my statua change to pending approval ans in next 10 minutes letter on gmail that my visa reject. How it's possible? Will never believe in it.
