DTV approved in Hanoi, Vietnam – My Process, Documents & Tips

Hi everyone!

I wanted to give back to the group by sharing my detailed process.

🔁 Timeline:

* Submitted in Hanoi, Vietnam: Monday, May 5 at 21:30

* Pending approval: Tuesday, May 7 in the evening

* Approved and received visa: Sunday, May 11 at 21:30

📄 My Application Process & Documents

I’m a part-time employee and approached the application with great care and attention to detail. I did not need a notary stamp. Instead, I submitted a well-written cover letter explaining the purpose of each document and how it supports my case.

For translations, I used google translate and for editing I used Sejda PDF

Here’s everything I included:

* ✅ Bank account confirmation—signed and stamped on official bank letterhead

* ✅ 6 months of bank statements, with 3 most recent salary payments clearly highlighted + exchange rate

* ✅ 3 payslips – original + translated

* ✅ Employment contract – original + translated

* ✅ Company certificate of incorporation

* ✅ Employer letter confirming my employment, job title, remote work approval, salary, and identifying details

* ✅ Personal letter explaining why I want to work from Thailand and confirming my commitment to visa compliance

* ✅ Vietnam entry stamp

* ✅ Hotel reservation (5 nights)

* ✅ SIM card receipt

* ✅ Boarding pass

* ✅ Screenshot of my LinkedIn profile

* ✅ Screenshots from my company’s official website, including a photo of me and my role description

* ✅ Screenshot from the official government companies’ registry, showing that my company is active, and explaining how to verify it

🟡 Pro Tips

* Treat your application as if you're building a professional case – make it easy to follow, organized, and clear.

* Highlight important details (e.g., salary deposits, job title, remote status, Name, Bank Account) in color to guide the reviewer.

* If you're not someone who enjoys this kind of detailed work – honestly, it's a lot – I highly recommend getting help from a professional or someone experienced. It will save you time and frustration.

Thanks again to this amazing community—your advice helped me a lot.

Wishing everyone smooth approvals and safe travels! 🌍✈️

Hi all just about to apply for 60 days flying out on January 1st what documents do I need to provide thanks in advance

Applying for a METV.

They ask for;

“Document indicating current residency”.

Then they also ask for;

“Applicant must apply for e-Visa via specific Embassy/Consulate conforming with his/her consular jurisdiction and residency. Applicant is required to upload document that can verify his/her current residency”.

What are the looking for here? My north certificate or something like a utility bill or bank statement with my address on it?

Hello everyone

What kind of documents will I need for non b visa in vietnam

and how many days should i wait for the visa?

Thanks:)

For anyone going to Vietnam for a tourist visa: Ho Chi Minh embassy want to see all documents and are enforcing it. Bank statements, air tickets and proof of hotel bookings. This is for a single entry tourist visa on a U.K. passport. They checked each document time and time again.

They also described the picking up of the visa as ‘the result’...

Have all your documents printed before you come here. You’ve been warned!

Update: Very doable in 36 hours, flew early morning from Don Meuang with Nok Air and then returned the next day in the evening. Visa ready at 13.30pm next day, website says 2 working days [I think] which is incorrect!

Hi all, I'm heading to Bali for a visa run. I have not been able to contact the consulate in advance. I won't find out until I get to the consulate in Denpassar on Friday if they will process a request for a non-O visa. If they do, I still won't find out until then what paperwork they will want. So, I'm asking a worst-case scenario question. I will have the income affidavit I got in Bangkok and a copy of my bank statement. What else could I possibly need? A health check up from the hospital here before I go? Any kind of rental agreement from my landlord? If so, for how long? Is one month enough? Anything else? What is the most that you have heard that people are asked for? Thanks!
