Hi everyone,
Thanks to the participants of this group for their activity, which helps in understanding the visa application process and answers many questions (I just used the search and didn’t have to ask anything myself).
I submitted my documents on the night of January 16 in Hanoi. The next day, they requested an entry stamp for my arrival in the country and a more recent bank statement (mine was issued a couple of weeks before submission).
On January 23, I received my visa.
After that, my wife submitted her application on the same day.
The next day, they requested a notarized translation of our marriage certificate (Fortunately, there is an embassy of my country).
We obtained the translation and submitted it just before the Lunar New Year (TET), but we got stuck for another week because everything was closed for the holidays.
This morning, on February 3, my wife received her DTV visa, and tomorrow we’re heading to our beloved Thailand.
Thanks again to everyone here!
