Just got my approval in Hanoi (Singaporean passport).
Took 5 working days. Submitted on 13 Aug, approved on 20 Aug.
Here’s the list:
-Passport bio page
-Passport photo
Proof of Location:
-Flight booking
-Image of arrival stamp
-Boarding pass
- Accommodation booking (1 week)
Proof of Employment:
-My own cover letter (stating I work remotely, won’t do any business in Thailand, and will adhere to all the Thai rules and laws.
*This part is VERY important to emphasise.
-Company cover letter (same points as above and signed by my HR on the company letterhead)
-Employment contract
-Company Business Registration (ACRA)
Proof of Finance:
-3 months’ bank statements (highlighted my name, account number, month of statement, and final balance with the exchange rate from SGD to THB to make it easier for them to check.)
-1-year lease in Thailand (I added here since other files in the other sections were getting pass the 3MB)
In my cover letter, I had a list of all the documents I was going to include to make things clearer. And added short explanations in each PDF to highlight details and make it easy for the officers to understand.
Assume they’ve never seen your country’s documents before so having helpful information to guide them through what everything is will make it easier for them to find what they're looking for.
Also...
When filling in “departure date” from the country you’re applying in, I put about a week later, this might speed things up since they see that you're leaving by this date.
And you don’t actually need to buy the ticket out.
I entered Hanoi on a one-way ticket, no problem at Hanoi airport. Once approved, I bought a ticket out the very next day.
Hi everyone, I applied for the visa in Hanoi on the night of the 23rd, and it’s been showing “pending approval (1)” since the 25th. The status hasn’t changed since then. Does anyone know approximately how long it’s taking in Hanoi, and what this status means?
