Does anyone know if you can use Jiu jitsu as a soft power option?

Also what’s re the turnaround times like for London, Uk?

And… what is needed from the remote work job I have to prove for the visa?

Sorry for all the questions! 🙈 grateful for any help or suggestions! 🙏🏽

Applying in Hanoi (soft power):

If I arrive in Hanoi on the October 26th (Sunday), can I apply on that day or would I wait until Monday to submit the paperwork?

Does it matter that my booking reservation would show that I just arrived, and that I only have the reservation for 2 weeks?

Or do they not really scrutinize that part of the application?

Thanks in advance!

Hi all. New to this and learning a lot. My question is regarding the soft power DTV.  I believe if granted it covers you for five years, but you need to check in every six months to extend. Does that mean that you need to be enrolled in one of the soft power activities every time you check in?

[HANOI -Soft Power APPROVED]

Hi everyone, just wanna spread the good news that my visa's been approved after 10 working days in Hanoi.

I went the Soft Power route with Arun Thai Cooking School. They were really helpful and provided all the school's document 1 day after the payment. I paid for 6-month course via WISE. I highly recommend the school if you plan to stay in BK and wanna do a cooking course.

My timeline and what I submitted:

28/8 - Application submitted (Pending Document Check)

* 3-month bank statements (May - June - July). I highlighted all important info eg., address, account holder's name, final monthly balance. I had about 350-400k THB for a long time but only had the full amount since July 23.

* Screenshot of my current balance on the day of submission on my bank app + Xe.com exchange rate VND to THB.

* My national ID card + Bank Letter as Proof of Address (as I'm a Vietnamese national)

* Intended date of arrival + Accommodation I just picked a random flight (which comes to 171-day stay) and a hotel I stayed before in BK. Didn't book anything.

29/8 - Pending Approval

15/9 - Approved! (No further document request).

My advice: Like a lot of people on the group already said, just familiarize yourself with the system. Double check all info. Write exactly as in your passport ie., place of issue I just wrote "Cuc Quan Ly Xuat Nhap Canh" in Vietnamse, no translation!

I don't know if I missed any other details on the post please comment if you wanna ask me something specific. Tysm for everyone's support on the group. It helped me have faith though I was a bit hopeless towards the end lol.
