Just got my DTV soft power (Muay Thai) approved in Hanoi!

Submitted: May 18th

Pending approval: May 19th

Granted: May 28th

Nationality: Austrian

Didn’t have a bank statement for this month so my bank in Austria stamped and signed the latest one with the current date (since there haven’t been any changes since January so that was the last one I had) + another one from November and screenshots of my online banking.

Was getting a bit nervous cause processing times used to be shorter and I had my flight out of Vietnam booked for June 2nd so super relieved to have gotten my approval.

Also, for anyone applying with an Austrian passport: for my place of issue I put exactly what’s written on my passport (“Magistrat Wien MBA 2/20”) since most people in this group said that’s what you’re supposed to do but was still a bit worried cause it’s so long but no problems at all.

Booked my Muay Thai classes with Muay Thai fever in Chiang Mai and they were really helpful, responded fast to any questions I had and were lovely overall. Excited to train there.

Good luck to everyone still waiting for approval or applying soon ☺️

Hello all

I have a work permit with visa and an Austrian passport. I need to leave to my home country to extend my passport. I need to go first to the immigration for a stamp for reentry, right? And everything that is important will be transmitted to my new passport, right?

Thanks for advice
