HANOI, VIETNAM 🇻🇳

Has anyone had their Visa approved by the embassy in Hanoi over the weekend?

I know processing does occur over the weekend even though the embassy is not open to the public. Just wondering if there’s been any success stories of Approvals being granted over the weekend?

Currently pending approval and must extend my hotel stay. Not stressful at all 😅

Thanks in advance for any relevant experiences shared. 🙏

DTV Approved today in Hanoi for digital nomad/remote working. Thank you Tod Daniels for answering some of my questions🙏🏾.

My experience: applied in Laos 6 months ago and wasn’t aware at the time about having the funds in your account for at least 3 months. After a long and terrible bus ride to Laos from Chiang mai, was denied in a few seconds in Laos and window slammed in my face 😂. From there I waited 6 months and let my funds sit. Arrived in Hanoi May 14 and applied 14th. 15th recieved email requesting additional documents: (image of page in passport showing stamp into Vietnam and documents showing company’s business registration. Went to the embassy in Hanoi to try to give them an additional document I forgot to attach on the visa website but offices were closed 15-19th. During those day status was pending approval. Approved today 22nd. Fast turnaround. Their website when uploading documents isn’t the best, spent a full day trying to find the best way to compile my PDFs together and converting them into jpgs, and making sure everything was in order and clear before submitting application. Provided previous most recent bank statements going back 6 months (excluding transaction details). Only the important information: beginning and ending balances of each month. Signed employment contracts (forgot to attach the page of my contract that laid out the details of my work so I only submitted the agreement pages. Signed lease agreement of my condo in Thailand. Had many other documents prepared in a folder in case I was asked for interview, I recommend this, but was not necessary in my case. Thanks for everyone sharing their experience in this group has helped with my experience. Good luck everyone

So is it Hanoi or sigon embassy?

Hello. I am planning to go to Hanoi in June to apply for the DTV. I believe I have everything I need. Can anyone tell me how long it should take and how I should apply (in person or online) for the fastest decision? Thank you!

Hey everyone! 🙋‍♂️ Has anyone applied for the Soft Power Visa at the Hanoi Embassy and had it processed in *one go*? 🌏 What documents did you submit? Would love to hear your experience!

Hello everyone. Just wanted to say a big thank you to this amazing group and everyone who has shared such helpful information here.

We successfully got our DTV approved through the Soft Power Muay Thai application.

We applied in Hanoi, and the whole process took about a week. To our surprise, we even received the approval email on Sunday.

Really appreciate all the tips and support from this community. Thank you so much!

Hello all, please help🙏 Applied from Vietnam. Hanpi Embassy. UK passport, self-employed, UK business owner. visa cancelled: wrong personal info. Is it because of the middle name? Applied and inserted the middle name everywhere, however, the Companies House, Tax Return, Bank Statements have only initials, not full name like in the passport. I wonder if this is the problem?

I’m planning to apply for the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) from Hanoi and had a question regarding the financial requirement. Specifically, does anyone know how long the 500,000 THB needs to be in the bank account before applying? Has anyone here been approved with the funds in their account for less than a month? Thanks 🙏

Hi everyone,

I applied for my DTV visa on April 1st via the official website in Hanoi, Vietnam, and my visa is still pending approval. My flight back is scheduled for Wednesday at the end of the day, and I’m getting worried about the timing because Monday its holidays in both countries 😢

Has anyone experienced a similar situation? Should I contact the embassy immediately to get an update, or is it normal to wait a little longer? I’d really appreciate any advice or recommendations you might have.

Thank you very much!
