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!

Hi everybody, i would like to share my experience with the thai embassy in Singapore. Im applying for Non-b visa. In Singapore they require the documents for the work permit. To get this documents i have to be outside of Thailand before my company apply and it takes 3 days to get it. So Sunday 26 May i fly to Singapore. My company went to labor office on Monday 27th and got the documents on Thursday 30th. On same apply online for visa. Here starts the problem. This is not an application for visa but its just to check if you have proper documentation to apply for visa. Once my documents are approved so i can go to embassy to apply for visa. Just to review my documents will take 2 days so should be Monday because cannot be Saturday or Sunday. Monday immigration here is close so Tuesday 4th June. If they accept my application will take other 2 days to get visa so about Thursday 6th or Friday 7th June. So you cannot plan nothing about your hotel check out day. And until last 2 days you cannot book the exactly day to fly back...total will be around 12 days in Singapore..if im lucky....Sure beautiful place but really expensive.

In Penang i did everything in 2 days including trip...
